Antioxidants Replenisher for Turbine Oils

BOOST™ AO

Boost AO offers two main advantages to industrial facilities. One, it eliminates the need to change oils because it replenishes the additives and consequently extends the oil’s life. It reduces expenditure and makes operations more cost-effective.

Two, it eliminates unnecessary oil waste. This turbine oil treatment solution helps you do your part in protecting the environment, supporting our Fill4Life™ advocacy.

How it works

Antioxidant Rebalancing

Boost AO is a treatment customized specifically for your turbine oil and designed to rebalance your additive system. The formulation and treat rate are developed based on your original oil formulation and current condition of the in-service oil. The tailored additive components are blended into a concentrate having a similar viscosity of your in-service oil allowing Boost AO to be blended on-site with no special equipment.

Antioxidants are sacrificial and deplete

Qualification Testing

Not every in-service turbine oil is suitable for additive replenishment solutions. Oil degradation products, mixed formulations and contamination are among some of the reasons that an oil may not be appropriate for restoring antioxidant health.

Fluitec’s scientists have developed a Qualification Test that is required prior to considering Boost AO. Qualification Testing includes running a battery of tests on your in-service oil, developing a customized Boost formulation, blending Boost AO at the specified treat rate with your in-service oil and performing compatibility testing according to ASTM D7155.

The combined power of Boost AO and ESP

While Boost AO and the VITA Electrophysical Separation ProcessTM (ESP) deliver significant advantages on their own, together they create a true Fill4LifeTM system that replaces antioxidants and removes oil degradation by-products for a cleaner, greener operation.

Depleted antioxidants create varnish causing byproducts in the oil

Working Together for Better Results

The thermal and oxidative stresses cause two problems: they deplete the sacrificial antioxidants in oil and create varnish, a detrimental by-product. As a turbine oil treatment, Boost AO replenishes depleted antioxidants but still leaves the problem of varnish.

Fluitec developed the VITA ESP. Through a process called chemisorption, ESP technology removes suspended or dissolved oil degradation products without disturbing the fluid’s additive system. For best results, the ESP media should be tailored to each application and selected based on oil type and condition.
