The Ironhide Vacuum Distillation System (IVD) is used to dehydrate, degasify, and purify industrial fluids of all types. The IVD uses vacuum, heat, and particulate filtration to purify fluids by removing solid particulates via a barrier filter, removing 100% of dissolved, entrained, emusfiled water down to 10 wppm or less, and entrained gases. The IVD restores the flashpoint and the viscosity of the oil to as-new or better conditions. The IVD reduces downtime, improves longevity of the fluid and the equipment the fluid protects, and lowers downtime of equipment by reducing maintenance. The IVD can be customized to purify in batch (Kidney loop) or process (continuous) modes. This system is driven completely by the onboard PLC and can be easily integrated into existing plant operations.
