Protect system reliability and asset integrity through ICB™ technology
I’m very impressed with the result, especially on the particle count and MPC index. The results speak for itself.
Based on the analysis result of the last LO sample, the results are even better than the OEM’s Turbines specification. We are indeed satisfied with the performance of the filtration unit.
Am very happy with the Solution you have provided to us. It do wonders.
I think I need to tell you this. Surprisingly MAB and TAB tanks are really clean. I don’t want to believe it’s the SVR™ effect, but it’s really clean. Last time varnish was quite bad on the tank bottom.
ICB is engineered to adsorb soluble by-products at molecular level, avoiding the deposition cycle. By removing the dissolved breakdown products, the lubricants solvency is restored and maintained at new fluid values. This eliminates the feedstock that is necessary to form lubricant deposits, and more importantly will allow any deposits created from the same lubricant to be dissolved back into the oil. Through a full-time 24/7 continuous treatment, ICB permanently removes oxidation material ensuring they do not accumulate in the oil, shifting chemical equilibrium back towards pre-condition stage. It then cleanses and mitigates the contamination cycle in its tracks through kidney-loop circuit, protecting system reliability and production.

To guarantee resistivity improvement
ICB filters are unlike all other ion exchange resin products. Our 20 years of operating experience and continued research have led to best-in-class resistivity improving capability with increases of 10X having been observed. We use custom-engineered resins that have been optimized for the lubricant environment.
Safe, reliable, and cost-effective chemistry solution for in-service rust and oxidation inhibited oils focused on the root cause of varnish formation: oxidation.
ICB RO removes varnish precursors and dissolved breakdown products on a continuous basis, breaking the accumulation cycle and eliminating the root cause of varnish formation.
Rust and oxidation inhibited oils, break down due to oxidation, creating dissolved contaminants from day one. These dissolved oil breakdown products accumulate until they saturate the oil, forming varnish.
ICB RO, patented ion-exchange technology, removes varnish.
precursors and dissolved breakdown products on a continuous basis. Rather than waiting for these oxidation products to cause harm, ICB RO breaks the accumulation cycle, eliminating the root cause of varnish formation and improving lubricant performance.
ICB FRF is designed to address phosphate ester chemistry, removing acids, phenols, and varnish while simultaneously improving resistivity, and preventing EHC failures.
Safe, reliable, and cost-effective chemistry solution for in-service phosphate ester fluids focused on the root cause of degradation: acid formation and varnish precursor accumulation.
Phosphate esters are fire-resistant fluids (FRFs). These synthetic fluids hydrolyze and oxidize readily during service, creating harmful acids and phenols. These breakdown products are established varnish precursors that must be removed to allow for reliable servo valve performance in EHC systems.
With 30 years of proven results, ICB FRF is an engineered workhorse designed to address phosphate ester fluid chemistry, removing acids, phenols, and varnish while simultaneously improving resistivity.
ICB JET removes acids, oil coking precursors, and dissolved by-products continuously breaking the accumulation cycle and eliminating the root cause of deposit formation.
Safe, reliable, and cost-effective chemistry solution for in-service aero-derivative lubricants focused on the root cause of degradation: varnish and coke deposits.
From the first day jet, lubes are put into service, they begin to break down as a result of oxidation and hydrolysis, creating dissolved degradation products. These dissolved contaminants are produced from high temperatures, water content, and entrained oxygen. Once the lubricant becomes saturated with these dissolved breakdown products, varnish and coking deposits start to form.
ICB AW selectively removes varnish and varnish feedstocks on a continuous basis breaking the accumulation cycle, and preventing varnish problems altogether.
Safe, reliable, and cost-effective chemistry solution for in-service anti-wear hydraulic oils focused on the root cause of degradation: oxidation.
Anti-wear (AW) hydraulic oils are found in a wide variety of applications from small assembly processes to integrated steel and paper mill applications. Anti-wear hydraulic oils break down to form varnish due to oxidation of their base oil and additive depletion.
Dissolved molecules that accumulate and cause mechanical problems in hydraulic systems and lube oil applications
ICB technology removes acid to our target of AN < 0.05 with 4-8 times the capacity of alternate acid removal medias.High acid number (AN) in phosphate ester means premature fluid replacement if left un-managed. Since acid production is autocatalytic, the acid in your system will generate more acid which, left unchecked, can quickly become a serious problem.
As dissolved metals accumulate, they act as a catalyst forming depots on servo valves and gels that can cause valve restriction and mask filter elements. ICB elements do not contribute metals and will remove dissolved metals from airborne ingress and element leaching to <10 ppm
For most EHC systems, the primary operating fluid is phosphate ester. This is a very safe fluid with excellent lubricating properties that when properly maintained can provide years of trouble-free operation without the need for a flush during replacement. Unfortunately, many power plants have insufficient or incorrect maintenance which causes wide ranging issues that result in actual or high risk of production loss, and expensive flushes after the fact.
ICB™ attacks the source of the problem on a molecular level, removing the oxidation by-products that form varnish deposits. By reversing the chemical process of varnish deposit formation, ICB™ restores oil health to remove varnish throughout the system and in critical components so your servo valves operate more efficiently than ever.
