Trial

The Excavator was selected for the purpose of proofing the claimed efficiency of Micfil Ultra-Fine Filtration Modules, by conducting the following comparisons:

1)      Reduce metal soot contaminants in the lubricant.

2)      Extending intervals to engine's lubricant oil change.


Engine Oil analysis report from before installing Micfil Module:



Engine Oil analysis report from After installing Micfil Module:



All three analysis reports side-by-side for comparison:

Analysis report summary before Micfil Module installation:

1)      High Iron soot contamination levels *Risky of: 47ppm @ 100hrs operating duration.

2)      High external contaminants (Silicon "dust") *Risky of: 19ppm @ 100hrs operating duration.


 Analysis report summary after Micfil Module installation:

1)      Reduction in Iron soot contamination levels *Safe of only: 19ppm @ 220hrs operating duration.

2)      Reduction of external contaminants (Silicon "dust") *Safe of only: 7ppm @ 220hrs operating duration.

Most crucial factors to be taken for measuring engine oil's quality and usage validity are:

 Total Base Number (TBN) which determines the oil's enjoinment wither alkaline or acidic.

 Viscosity rates @ water boiling degree of 100C˚ Celsius.

Summary:

Notably that Micfil Ultra-Fine Filtration Module successfully filters Metal contaminants soot (hereby: Iron soot and Silicon "dust" contamination) with improving TBN and Viscosity rates by maintaining safe levels at 220hrs operating duration.

Clearly, oil's validity was safely extended up to 250hrs.

Oil analysis must be repeated at 250hrs of operating duration.


As per analysis reports, where it showed slight increases in deposits of metals: iron and aluminum, which is decisive evidence of an increase in the rate of wear on the metal surfaces of cylinders and crankshafts as a result of the friction of metal parts, Balhaf Solutions strongly recommends conducting chemical overhauling by using XADO revitalization products, then repeat the analysis to realize the difference.
