Is BCA recommended for all industrial equipment?
No. Not all applications require the purity of BCA. ISOPur recommends BCA for the following: 1) High performance mission critical applications. For some equipment, the cost of downtime or machine problems can wreak havoc with a plant’s profitability. When these machines go down, it has a ripple effect on the entire production of the plant. 2) Problem equipment with a troubled operating history. Equipment that has a long history of breakdown, bad oil, varnish, sludge, particle ingress, grinding and pitting, etc. For non-critical applications, most plants can “get away” with unpurified or filtered fluids. These machines are not critical path, and have plenty of time and budget built in for maintenance. For non-critical applications, ISOPur would recommend sticking to conventional filtration or centrifugal separation.
