1. Reduce grobal warming
2. Reduce your cost of new fluid purchases by
20 to 45 percent
3. Reduce the cost of fluid disposal by 60 - 90 percent
4. Clean coolants and parts washing chemicals
assists with the consistency of the process
5. Helps with ISO 14000 goals
6. Safeguarding worker health & safety
Reduce oil smoke & mists from the workplace by
removingtramp oils and small fines that contaminate
machine coolants and parts washing solutions and can
lead to:
1. Dermatitis
2. Bronchial irritation from coolant mists
3. Odors
4. Oil mists which end up on the floors,
creates dirty machine tools, etc.
5. Also benefit by:
- Minimizing the smoke in heat treat departments
that require expensive smoke remediation
equipment
- Minimize chance of fires in heat treat
departments
