Study on Removal of Particles from Used Turbine Oil

Turbine oil is usually use in gas turbines, and other applications requiring supreme
quality turbine oil. Turbine oil cleanliness continues to cause concern because to have
optimum performance the oil has to be significantly clean.
The current inventions of turbine oil filtration are widely categorized under different
types of filtration methods depending on its objectives or applications. The existence of
iron components in industrial turbine oil makes magnetic filter is the effective tools for
capturing as well as recycling of small sized magnetic particles.
Turbine oil correction can be quite exhaustive and detailed in nature. Most commercial
oil analysis laboratories do not have this capability or technical expertise. Some of the
machines also very bulky and not portable. This problem had inspired the author to
develop a new design of magnetic filter which is smaller in size and simpler process to
remove particles from used turbine oils.
The method used in designing the magnetic filter are modeling and simulation
software.After performing calculations and software simulation, the best method in
filtering particles in used turbine oil is by using off-line magnetic filter. Agitation is
introduced in getting optimum result.
