Improving Bulk Fluid Condition at Lumber Mill

PROJECTBACKGROUND

DISCOVER DIAGNOSE

• Forest, land, and timber products company with high-level particle contaminationinbulkfluidstorage vessel. • Upper management ordered

all locations to improve bulk fluidcleanlinesspracticesafterconsultationwithfluidsupplier.

What We Did: Schroeder recommended the KLD, the Dual Stage Kidney Filtration Skid.

Course of action1. Due to these constraints and application conditions, SI recommended the KLDfiltersystemsolution,with5µmand3µmstagedfiltration,ataflowrateof 10gpm.2. Schroeder estimated that by operating the KLD continuously with KGZelementtechnologyandaprogressivefilterelementstrategy, thecustomercouldachievethetargetedfluidcleanlinessclass.

ROI

• The KLD solution was implemented and provided a three-class cleanliness improvement within one month.

• Thecustomerprogressedthefilterelementconfigurationbyusing3μmratedfiltrationinbothstages.Thisyieldedimmediateresultsbutdidnotreducecontamination to the targeted level over time.

• To combat an unexpected rise in contamination, Schroeder mounted an OLF30inserieswiththeKLDtohelpcontainandreducethebulk contamination.TheOLF30filterwasuninstalledafterthebulkcontamination event was contained.
