Cooper-Bessemer LS8G Engine:
A Natural Gas Compression Plant wanted to improve the reliability and productivity of their Cooper-Bessemer LS8G engines. Due to the engine lube oil pressure on these engines, the customer installed two (2) IOW MP200 centrifuge filters.
After 557 run hours, the maintenance crew serviced the IOW MP200 centrifuge filters. The sludge cake collected was removed and weighed 819 grams (1.8 lbs.), which is an excellent result for this short running time. The customer was extremely happy with the performance of the IOW MP200 centrifuge filters and will soon see the long-term rewards of upgrading the filtration system.

By improving the cleanliness of the lubrication oil this CAT G3608 lifespan was tripled.
CAT G3608 Engine :
Engine lifespan was tripled when two (2) IOW MP200 centrifuge filters were installed at a Natural Gas compression Plant. The two centrifuge filters and CentriClean SCU0002 remote monitors were installed on a double mounting bracket on the inspection platform. The monitors display the current RPMs of the centrifuge filters and have the ability to set performance based alarms.
Oil analysis was conducted prior to the centrifuge installation, and the ISO oil cleanliness code was 22/19/11. After installing the IOW MP200 centrifuges, the ISO codes massively improved to 18/16/12!
When inputted into the Noria's life extensions table, the Caterpillar G3608 engine lifespan had tripled! Creating significant savings and increased reliability for this Natural Gas Compression Plant.

eQlyps complete filtration solution
Combining our new Q series backflushing filter, backflush pump, and market-leading MP centrifuge with remote monitoring technology means our customers receive the highest level of filtration performance currently available with the IOW Group eQlyps complete filtration solution.
Our new Q series backflushing filter is the next generation of backflushing filtration. It has been manufactured from much stronger and more durable components to enhance its filtration capabilities. The eQlyps comes fitted with a backflush pump which increases the flow and pressure to support the filtration process.
More slimline and compact than other options, the eQlyps system is perfect for small spaces or cramped environments due to its small footprint.
Combining backflushing filtration and centrifugal filters allows our customer to filter their oil down to 1 micron using the eQlyps complete filtration system. With the support of the centrifuge, backflush filter, and backflush pump, each component will last longer and filter more effectively. This results in extended engine lifespan, longer oil change intervals, and reduced maintenance required.
eQlyps self-cleaning lube oil filter launched in September 2022, and IOW Group is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer this complete system.
The IOW eQlyps complete filtration system combines backflushing and centrifugal filtration technology to remove particles down to 1 micron.
Centrifugal Oil Filters:
The IOW centrifuge is a centrifugal filter like no other. Redesigning a product previously not updated since the 1950s, our skilled team of engineers made the IOW centrifuge filter with various features to improve performance, reliability, and efficiency!
The IOW centrifuge filter has been designed to stop mixing clean and dirty oil, with contaminated oil entering the base and clean oil exiting through the top of the unit. This helps to avoid cross-contamination and means harmful particles do not enter back into the circulation of the engine.
IOW Group's bypass centrifuge filters utilize unique bowl disc technology. Unlike conventional centrifugal spinners, IOW Group centrifuge filters have a central bowl disc stack that increases the separation efficiency, dramatically reducing the time contaminants stay in the oil.
The IOW centrifuge filters are patent protected and contains unique features to improve filtration performance.
The bowl discs provide more surface area meaning finer separation and filtration can occur. Bowl disc dramatically speeds up the precipitation of the solids from the liquid.
IOW centrifuge filters allow you to maximize performance, extend maintenance intervals, and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for engine systems and auxiliaries. IOW centrifuge filter comes standard with bowl disc technology and external monitoring for greater efficiency. Our centrifuge filters have also been designed to retrofit to existing pipework, so upgrading to this superior technology couldn’t be easier.
Our centrifugal technology is 150% more efficient than any competitors and provides superior protection for engines and auxiliaries from harmful contaminants.
Come and see one of our knowledgeable team at Stand 222 to find out more and discuss your requirements.
