OIL FILTERS

DESCRIPTION

Oil filters

Oil Filters Designed to clean oil during operation, retain a large volume of used oil after replacement. According to Disposal Prohibition 5(1)(j) of GRN 636 (National Landfill Disposal Rules and Standards), oil filters may not be disposed of in landfills. We collect and process oil filters according to global best practices to ensure environmentally responsible recycling. Contact us for more information about this value-added service.

How oil filters work

The outside of the filter is a metal can with a gasket that allows it to be held firmly to the engine's mating surface.The bottom plate of the can holds the gasket and is perforated with holes around the area just inside the gasket. A center hole is tapped to mate with the oil filter assembly in the engine block. Inside the can is the filter material, mostly made of synthetic fibre. The engine oil pump delivers the oil directly to the filter, where it enters from
holes around the base plate. Dirty oil is routed through the filter media (pushed under pressure) and back through the center hole where it re-enters the engine.

Choosing the right oil filter

Choosing the correct oil filter is of the utmost importance. Most oil filters look very similar, but small differences can determine whether or not a particular filter will work. 

Oil separators

With the cleaning of the vehicle /trucks/equipment etc water is contaminated by the oil and dirt .

Mechanical separator's are installed that ensure oil waste is separated from the normal dirty water. These separators need to be serviced on a regular basis according to use and flow. If the separator is not service the separator will block and overflow creating spillage. 

Selecting An Oil Separator

Although oil separator catalogs show capacity in tons or horsepower, the actual tonnage or Btu capacity may vary widely from the horsepower size of the compressor. Actual capacity of compressors is dependent on suction pressures, discharge pressures, liquid temperatures, rpm, and the density of the suction gases.

The larger the capacity of the compressor, the larger the separator's volume must be, regardless of the piping size connections of the separator. The separator must be large enough to match the compressor, and the connection sizes must be the same, or larger, than the discharge line size of the system. This allows the discharge gases in the separator to be near the same pressure as the discharge line because of minimal pressure drop within the oil separator.
