Oil Flushing Programme

Cleanliness issues during manufacture, installation and commissioning can cause delays in delivery, performance degradation and unit damage. The best practices we have developed over the years have reduced the time we take to supply a cleaner, more robust system. Applying such practices is vital for obtaining expected performance and equipment life.

The purpose of flushing is to remove contamination, which is either inherent or introduced during system assembly, from the insides of pipes and components. This is accomplished by passing fluid through the system, usually at a velocity much higher than that during normal operation.

Flushing is a vital procedure for the satisfactory operation and life of hydraulic and lubrication systems. If flushing is omitted or limited, this will inevitably lead to rapid component wear, malfunction and breakdown. Hydraulic and lubrication systems are very diverse, both in size and complexity. However, thanks to its many years' experience, Ocean Team has designed and developed a wide programme of flushing technologies, methods and units capable of meeting the ever-increasing requirements on cleanliness of component and system suppliers.
