TITLE
ISOPur Solves Sticking Servo Valves in Calender Machine With Patented BCA Technology

ABSTRACT
In January 2003, ISOPur Fluid Technologies and a major paper company conducted a trial of ISOPur’s patented Balanced Charge Agglomeration (BCA) fluid purification system on an offline paper calender machine. The paper plant was experiencing seven servo valve failures per year within the critical calender machinery at a cost of approximately $30,000 per servo. These failures also included at least two hours of plant down-time and the end product quality suffered. The trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the Balanced Charge Agglomeration (BCA) technology as a solution to prevent servo valves from sticking, thereby saving the paper mill over $200,000 a year. The trial ran from January 14th until June 19th with no reported valves sticking or failing. Water content is down to 28ppm (Karl Fischer), the average viscosity is 206 cSt (within 2% of a new oil reading), and ISO codes have reached lows of 16/14/11; well below the new oil reference of 18/17/14. These results indicate that the BCA technology substantially improves oil quality and helps to prevent servo valve sticking.
