EHC Fluid Conditioning System

A rugged yet affordable solution for small filtration systems or portable filter carts. This system can provide treatment by utilizing HILCO’s Selexsorb, fuller’s earth, activated alumina, or ion exchange cartridges.

Applications

Reduces acid and removes water and particles from synthetic EHC fluids.

Load Tap Changer (LTC)

For over 15 years, HILCO has provided filtration systems to the utility industry to clean up LTC oil compartments. Hilsorb dryer filters remove free water as well as particulate down to 1 micron ensuring that the contacts in the LTC always operate in oil that is at its prime dielectric strength.

Applications

Filtration systems for the utility industry to clean up LTC oil compartments as well as transformer load tap changers (LTC).

Hydraulic and Lube Oil Conditioning

Acid reduction of synthetic lubrication fluids is important for proper maintenance of pumps and bearings. Historically, fuller’s earth (Hilite) and activated alumina (Hilite-A) have been and continue to be specified to neutralize the acid. The use of Selexsorb and ion exchange technology is also being used for fluids with additives. HILCO has been manufacturing systems for synthetic fluids for several decades and has the experience to design a solution to meet the application.

Applications

Rotating equipment manufacturers, lube, hydraulic, and EHC systems.

Hilcosep Coalescer Separator

The Hilcosep was designed to remove moisture and particulate contamination from steam and gas turbine lube oils. Self-sufficient stand-alone models with reservoir capacity ranging from 2,000 gallons to 12,000+ gallons and portable models as well as custom designs are available.

Applications

Wherever moisture and particulates need to be removed from turbine lube oil.

Machine Tool Coolant

The Machine Tool Coolant Recyler quickly and efficiently removes tramp oil and metal fines and other particulate matter and restores coolant to like-new condition. This portable unit cleans both water-based and synthetic machine tool coolants.

Applications

All chip forming operations that utilize water base coolants; also well-suited for turning, drilling, boring and milling operations.

Ceramic Membrane Crossflow

The Ceramic Membrane Filtration System utilizes high-velocity fluid "crossflow" across the face of the membrane. The oil-free water passes through the ceramic membrane while the oily waste is concentrated in a process reservoir.

Applications

Well-suited for multiple microfiltration and ultrafiltration applications. Processes fluid streams such as industrial laundry, aqueous wash solutions, catalyst stream recovery, and solvent reclamation.

High Pressure Coolant Delivery

This high pressure coolant delivery system achieves excellent results with a full range of material, including exotic alloys. Proper filtration eliminates plugging and erosion of the coolant pathway, cutting down on maintenance demands and misalignment of the tool and holder mate surfaces.

Applications

Works well in turning, drilling, boring, and milling operations.
