Donaldson Company, a leading worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems and parts, introduced Clean Fuel & Lubricant Solutions, an integral partner for operations’ contamination control strategies. The company offers a wide array of bulk liquid filtration products, coupled with expertise in system design and best practices. Dirt and water are the enemies of fuels and lubricants, robbing vehicles and equipment of performance and longevity. Removing contaminant with bulk filtration prior to pumping fluids into equipment allows on-board filtration systems to do their job better, while supporting the advanced system technology required to meet new regulations. Donaldson recommends a three-step philosophy to protect your investment, from delivery right until the final point of use:

Clean
Donaldson’s single-pass filtration on the inlet reduces the risk of contamination in bulk storage tanks and helps maintain desired cleanliness levels. Compact and easy to replace, Donaldson filters are an important line of defense in maintaining fluid cleanliness and can be configured for high flow rates while minimizing pressure drop.

Protect
Water absorbing filters, T.R.A.P.^TM Breathers and Active Reservoir Vent (ARV) products reduce the risk of moisture and contaminants entering a bulk storage tank so fluids are kept clean and dry. Used together, they help guard from free water, airborne contaminants and microbial growth for as long as they stay in storage.

Polish
Unstable fluids and the tank itself can be a source of contamination. Final filtration on the outlet ensures that target ISO cleanliness levels are achieved.
For contamination challenges downstream of the refinery, from delivery right up to the final point of use, Donaldson Clean Solutions can help you deliver clean fluids into your equipment and keep you mining.
