EPT- Ion Charge Bonding (ICB®) Cartridges/Conversion Kit for GE, Westinghouse and Alstom-ABB EHC Systems

EHC Fluid Filtration Systems

ION Charge Bonding Cartridge

Mid-States Engineering & Sales represents EPT, Inc., a global leader in fluid conditioning technologies. EPT Ion Charge Bonding (ICB®) and Ion Exchange technology is the most experienced and proven Ion based product in the market with a track record >19,000,000 operational hours. With over 30 published papers, EPT is recognized as industry experts in solving lubricant varnish.

Maintaining EHC Systems require more diligence and a different set of technologies than maintaining mineral oil systems. Most OEM's specify the use of a pure phosphate ester fluid, like Fyrquel.

The margin of error on phosphate ester fluids is smaller than mineral oils. If the oils start to degrade, they may rapidly produce deposits requiring fluid replacement and expensive system flushes. However, if these fluids are properly maintained, they will provide high performance for the life of the EHC system.

ICB® removes soluble contaminants, from acids to metal salts, without adding dangerous sub-micron particulate. With several times the holding capacity of competing acid-scavenging technologies, ICB® lasts longer and is more effective. Our ICB® clean oil technology has more than 20 million hours of operational success. The ICB® filters are designed to replace existing acid scavenging filters in EHC systems.

EHC Systems that do not currently have an acid scavenging system or use alternative fluid chemistry, may require a custom skid that includes the ICB® technology. Alternative fluids include polyol esters, polyalkyl glycols or additized phosphate esters.

Why use EPT's ICB®?

Eliminate regular fluid replacement
Eliminate costly system flushes
Avoid unscheduled down time
Avoid equipment failure that result from fluid degradation
-Valve silting
-Premature filter plugging and fluid darkening
Does not produce gels
Does not produce dissolved metals
