Filtration
Separator Spares & Equipment, LLC offers different types of filtration solutions, including complete filtration systems for purifying diesel and MGO fuels, gear oils, engine lube oils, and hydraulic oils.
Oil Filtration
Dirty oil can cause catastrophic damage to your equipment. With the need for closer tolerances, faster cycle times, higher pressures, and extended service intervals, more demand is being placed on your filters. By using the proper filtration for your engines and equipment, you can minimize the possibility of costly downtime and repairs.
The correct filtration solution can help extend the life of your equipment and prevent costly repairs. When choosing a filtration system, it is important to select the proper filter media for your application. Depending on the application, different filter elements may be required.
A regular maintenance program is crucial in preventing downtime and equipment failure. We provide filtration solutions that protect equipment, reduce maintenance, and minimize downtime – giving you one less thing to worry about.

What is Full Flow Filtration?
Full-flow filtration is where all of the oil pump output is filtered before going to the engine. The full-flow filter provides essential engine protection. The full-flow filter must have adequate dirt-holding capacity to capture and retain damaging contaminants to achieve the required service and maintenance intervals.

What is Bypass Filtration?
Bypass Filtration (also called offline oil filtration) is where a proportion of the oil flow is filtered to a considerably better degree than in a full-flow filtration system before traveling back to the oil sump. A bypass filter is sometimes referred to as a secondary filter. Bypass filters working in a separate circuit do not supply the engine with clean oil directly. A bypass filter improves oil cleanliness.
A bypass filter is usually a much finer solid particle filter to capture smaller particles than the full-flow filtration system. Because it has higher filtration efficiency, it will have a much lower flow rate than a full-flow filter, particularly when the oil is cold. A bypass filtration system is designed to improve the overall cleanliness of the oil without compromising the flow rate to the engine. Bypass filtration systems are excellent solutions for removing solid particles.
Need to separate solids from your lube oil? The high centrifugal force of the IOW Group centrifugal bypass oil filters is an excellent solution for separating suspended solid matter (soot, sludge, dirt, or any solid contaminants) for lube oils, gear oils, and hydraulic oils. Gravitational force is replaced with centrifugal force. IOW Group bypass centrifuges utilize bowl discs to increase separation surface area.
What information is required for ordering a filtration system for an offline oil filter?
When sizing an offline oil filter (bypass filter) the following basic information about the oil system should be provided:
- Oil volume in the system or tank
- Oil type (ISO VG)
- Oil Temperature (normal operation and ambient temperature)
- Oil contamination problems:
– Particles
– Oil degradation products, sludge, and varnish
– Water (ingress or accumulated) - Application
- Associated equipment and/or engine model number
- Machine operation hours per day
- Available power supply
What is Combination Filtration?
Combination Filtration is where both full-flow filtration and bypass technology are utilized in filtration. A combination filter is sometimes referred to as a two-stage filter.
