Control contamination to extend fluid's service life

For companies that use hydraulic equipment, environmental concern is reinforced by stringent federal and local regulations requiring pollution prevention and governing disposal of used industrial fluids. Higher costs for fluid disposal are a direct result of these regulations. This adds another economic item to the list of benefits derived from controlling contamination to extend service life of hydraulic fluids. The list includes: lower cost for fluid needed for replacement and replenishment; more consistent hydraulic system performance; less component wear; and reduced fluid disposal costs.
