Siemens Subsidiary and ISOPur Fluid Technologies Partner To Offer Breakthrough Oil Purification Systems
Siemens Expands ISOPur's Market Reach Into Europe
Rocky Hill, CT –Mechanik Center Erlangen GmbH (Siemens MEC), a subsidiary of the Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (Siemens I&S) and ISOPur Fluid Technologies, Inc., an innovator in industrial fluid cleaning technology adopted by a number of Fortune 500 companies, have signed a strategic manufacturing, sales and distribution agreement. Siemens MEC will manufacture, sell and service ISOPur's patented industrial fluid purification systems featuring a new technology known as Balanced Charge Agglomeration TM (BCA) to customers throughout Germany. Siemens MEC will offer four models of ISOPur systems for industrial applications with flow-rates ranging from 200 to 23,000 liters per hour and tank sizes between 400 and 60,000 liters.
Siemens MEC will serve customers involved in general manufacturing, machine tools, pulp and paper, power generation and other industrial markets; ISOPur will continue to directly serve the food and beverage industry and certain segments of the automotive market. Siemens MEC will also test and assemble ISOPur equipment sold in Germany and will be involved in manufacturing ISOPur systems for the European market, working with ISOPur Europe.
ISOPur's BCA process protects billions of dollars worth of industrial, manufacturing and power generation equipment throughout the world, minimizes the waste stream, lowers operating costs, and reduces oil disposal liability, in comparison to conventional filtration methods. ISOPur systems are ideal for steam and gas turbines, compressors, hydraulic systems and industrial and manufacturing equipment that require workhorse lubricants known as non-conducting fluids. These fluids enable moving parts of machinery to operate smoothly and efficiently. As the lubricants become dirty and contaminated, they require replacement and disposal. Even the most expensive filtration systems on the market today are only able to extend the useful life of these fluids for a limited period of time. ISOPur's BCA technology is able to keep these fluids like new, year after year, without replacement.
“ISOPur systems transform lubricating oil into a capital asset that can be used again and again without replacement rather than a commodity and a liability to use and dispose of,” said Herr Rainer Spannagel, Managing Director of Siemens MEC. “The ISOPur systems pay for themselves very quickly and the return on investment for customers is substantial. We are delighted to partner with ISOPur to deliver this breakthrough solution to the marketplace.”
“It is important to note that Siemens Venture Capital, the investment arm of Siemens GmbH, a leading developer of power generation systems and industrial machinery, was among the first companies to invest in ISOPur's patented technology,” said Jim Isaacs, President of ISOPur Fluid Technologies Europe. “We view our new working relationship with Siemens I&S and its subsidiary Siemens MEC as an expansion of our alliance with Siemens and its global entities. We are delighted to have Siemens support as we forge new growth in our European sales, service and distribution network.”
A wide range of industrial and power generation companies in Europe, North America, and Asia are already using ISOPur's BCA technology. ISOPur customers include equipment manufacturers such as Ansaldo, Atlas Copco and Eaton Corporation; power companies such as Enel, one of Europe's largest power producers; a number of food producers including Refined Sugar and Sanwa Shoko; as well as various institutions and municipalities.
Customer testimonials and lab testing confirm that the BCA process, which uses carefully balanced electrical charges to separate contaminants from oils and fuels, is capable of purifying non-conducting fluids such as lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, diesel fuel and cooking oils to a much higher level of purity than conventional filtration alternatives, many of which are still using the more than half a century old “coffee filter method” of mechanical filtering.
“ISOPur's BCA technology catapults filtration technology to an unheard of level in terms of efficiency, environmental benefits, cost savings, reduced maintenance, enhanced equipment uptime, and expansive residual benefits,” said Gerald L. (Gerry) Munson, Chief Technology Officer for ISOPur Fluid Technologies. “The BCA process actually ‘pulls’ small particles of dirt and contamination from inside the machinery, enabling the equipment to operate more efficiently and reliably. This significantly reduces maintenance and repair costs and equipment downtime and extends the service life of the equipment.”
“Companies with manufacturing and industrial equipment no longer have to be concerned about cleaning particles as small as 0.1 micrometers, or worry about internal deposits, rust and corrosion, and cleaning and replacing filters. What's more, ISOPur customers find that the BCA technology in many cases actually improves the quality of the original oil,” said Munson.
