Boost VR by Fluitec removes varnish in a risk-free way

Fluitec Boost VR varnish removal from Filtramax

Wainbee Limited supplies industrial filtration solutions through its Filtramax division, including some very innovative products. One example is Fluitec Boost VR varnish removal, a safer, cheaper way to remove varnish and deposits from lube systems. This state-of-the-art product provides a risk-free, labour-free way to eliminate varnish.

Fluitec recommends Boost VR for various applications, like gearboxes, air compressors, turbine systems, boiler-feed water pumps, hydraulic systems, vacuum pumps, centrifugal and axial compressors, NSF H1 compressors, and circulating oils.

Alternative to an oil flush

The perfect alternative (or complement) to an oil flush, this varnish removal works more effectively and safely than detergent system cleaners do. Fluitec Boost VR is usable in any oil-wetted system on which deposits occur. It is wholly compatible with all mineral and PAO-based lubricants, and its unique chemistry increases oil solvency while re-solubilizing deposits. With no chemical or detergent flushing required and no effect on outage resources, Boost VR flushes at only one-third of the cost of traditional options.

The advantages of this varnish removal from Filtramax include the following:

• ability to clean the internals of any system;
• higher solubility, allowing deposits to be dissolved;
• better MPC values;
• lower bearing temperatures; and
• three times the value of traditional flushing.

Fluitec Boost VR is easy to use. It has a simple, effective, three-step process for cleaning a lube system. First, the user adds Boost VR three months before the expected oil change. Then an ESP System is connected to remove the solubilized contaminants. Finally, the user replaces the oil at the beginning of the outage.

Boost VR is a specialized synthetic base oil that works by enhancing the system oil’s solubility, which re-dissolves deposited degradation products back into the oil. Unlike other cleaning agents, it improves oil deposit control with no adverse impact on demulsibility, foam, rust, seal compatibility, or other oil properties.

Fluitec recommends its VITA ESP delivery systems to remove oil varnish as Boost VR is removing varnish deposited within the system. As the ESP system removes solubilized varnish, more deposits can re-dissolve back into the oil.
