  As Wendell Berry once said, "The Earth is what we all have in common." Earth Day is the only secular festival on the globe. This celebration aims to thank mother earth for nurturing us and giving us all it has. People swear to plant trees, restore the earth, and not exploit the environment. Every year we see many initiatives taken to save the earth on this day but do we really achieve it? Now we need to measure the changes after taking specific steps. From a recent survey, we can see that ten out of the 15 most polluted cities in the world are from India. It has not been six months since all the heads of 197 countries attended the COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland. The primary concern of the billion-dollar event was to maintain the earth's temperature. As the theme of Earth day for this year suggests, ‘Invest in our Planet’, we need to invest instead of paying later for getting fresh air, pure water, organic food, etc. Do you know Contaminated oils are very harmful to the envi

  In our last #knowyouroil segment, we had discussed about   Particle Contamination   and its effect on the life of rotating parts. Companies spend a lot of money on installing filtration units to counter particle contamination but never take preventive measures towards water contamination. Water is a worse and silent killer for the life of machinery as it slowly degrades the oil properties and one only gets to know about it when the machine fails pre-maturely. In this article, we will try to understand the basics of Water Contamination. We will also try to answer the following questions. What water does to oil properties? Can we see water contamination as soon as it starts? What to do if our oil is contaminated? To check your machine's, follow:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/minimacsystemsprivatetlimited  There are three phases in which water can exist in oil i.e. dissolved water, emulsified water, and free water. Dissolved Water:  It is characterized by individual water molecu

  A bypass filter, also known as a pressure relief valve, is a very important part of an oil filter. When oil is too thick or the filter is clogged, the valve opens. If the valve doesn’t open then the filter may eventually burst. Bypass filters are designed to remove fine organic and inorganic particles. It also increases the total volume of oil used. Thus, if you have contamination issues and want to extend operating equipment life, extend lube oil & service intervals, and consider adding bypass filters. We can say that Bypass filtration can be considered another aspect to save money and downtime. Most of the existing manufacturers use ‘full-flow’ oil filters which are designed to protect the component from large particles but they cannot remove soot, water, or silt. Full-flow filters alone cannot keep oil clean for a long-term period. The fine particles which account for most of the contamination can be removed by the bypass filters. It is advised to do the homework before buying
