Oil purifiers are used to remove contaminants from oils to improve their performance and extend their service life. Different methods of oil purification cater to specific needs based on the type of oil and contaminants involved. Below are the most common methods:
--
1. Centrifugal Separation
- Principle: Uses centrifugal force to separate contaminants such as water, sludge, and solid particles from the oil.
- Advantages:
- Effective for separating water and heavy solids.
- Continuous operation is possible.
- Applications: Marine engines, industrial lubricants, and turbine oils.
---
2. Filtration
- Principle: Passes oil through a filter medium to trap solid particles.
- Types:
- Mechanical Filters: Remove large particles.
- Depth Filters: Trap contaminants within the filter material.
- Fine/High-Efficiency Filters: Remove microscopic particles.
- Advantages:
- Simple and cost-effective.
- Widely applicable for many types of oils.
- Applications: Hydraulic systems, engines, and industrial machinery.
---
3. Vacuum Dehydration
- Principle: Removes water and gases from oil using a vacuum chamber and heating to lower the boiling point of water.
- Advantages:
- Highly effective at removing dissolved water and gases.
- Preserves oil properties by operating at low temperatures.
- Applications: Transformer oil, turbine oil, and hydraulic systems.
---
4. Electrostatic Separation
- Principle: Uses electrostatic fields to attract and remove charged particles and contaminants from the oil.
- Advantages:
- Removes submicron particles.
- No need for disposable filters.
- Applications: Hydraulic oils and lubricating oils.
---
5. Adsorption
- Principle: Uses adsorbent materials (e.g., silica gel, activated carbon) to remove impurities such as acids, water, and polar contaminants.
- Advantages:
- Effective for chemical contamination and acid removal.
- Regeneration of adsorbents is possible.
- Applications: Transformer oils, lubricants, and insulating oils.
---
6. Coalescence
- Principle: Combines small water droplets in oil to form larger droplets, which can then be separated by gravity.
- Advantages:
- Effective for water removal.
- Simple and efficient.
- Applications: Fuel purification, turbine oils, and hydraulic systems.
---
7. Magnetic Separation
- Principle: Uses magnetic fields to remove ferrous particles from the oil.
- Advantages:
- Non-contact method.
- Suitable for oils used in systems with magnetic contaminants.
- Applications: Gear oils and machine oils.
---
8. Thermal Purification
- Principle: Heats oil to separate contaminants such as waxes, water, or volatile substances by evaporation.
- Advantages:
- Effective for volatile impurity removal.
- Can restore oil's properties.
- Applications: Engine oils and synthetic oils.
---
9. Chemical Treatment
- Principle: Adds chemicals to react with impurities, forming compounds that can be separated from the oil.
- Advantages:
- Targets specific contaminants.
- Effective for oil reclamation.
- Applications: Industrial oils, transformer oils, and heavily degraded oils.
---
10. Combination Systems
- Principle: Uses a combination of methods like filtration, vacuum dehydration, and adsorption for comprehensive purification.
- Advantages:
- Addresses multiple types of contaminants.
- Improves efficiency.
- Applications: High-performance and critical applications such as power generation and aviation.

Each method is chosen based on the type of contamination (solid, water, gas, or chemical) and the oil's operational requirements. In many cases, combining methods offers the best results.
