Contamination Control Solutions

Contamination control solutions are designed to prevent dirt, water, particles, and degraded oil by-products from entering, spreading, or damaging lubrication systems. Through Des-Case, Luneta, and EPT Clean Oil, Atlasco supports a complete contamination control approach — from clean lubricant storage and transfer to visual inspection, oil sampling, varnish control, and proactive oil reliability practices.

Contamination Control Matched to Lubrication Practices

Contamination control depends on how lubricants are received, stored, transferred, sampled, filtered, inspected, and protected while in service.

Through Atlasco, customers can define the right contamination control setup based on equipment criticality, lubricant type, contamination risk, storage method, inspection frequency, and maintenance strategy.

Why Contamination Control Matters

Most lubrication failures begin before the machine fails. Moisture, dust, particles, poor handling, dirty storage, and delayed inspection can all accelerate oil degradation and equipment wear.

• Cleaner lubricant storage and transfer
• Reduced water and particle ingress
• Better oil handling practices
• Earlier visibility of oil condition issues
• Varnish and oxidation control
• Improved maintenance discipline
• Stronger reliability program performance

Des-Case Positioning

Des-Case positions contamination control around keeping lubricants clean and dry, including storage, transfer, and breather technologies.

The Value of Preventing Contamination at the Source

Filtration is important, but preventing contamination from entering the oil system is even stronger. Proper storage, sealed transfer, clean dispensing, breathers, sampling ports, and visual inspection tools reduce the contamination burden before it reaches the machine.

Luneta's Condition Monitoring Pod allows users to observe oil level, color, clarity, aeration, foaming, corrosion, varnish, and wear debris, supporting faster identification of lubricant and machine issues.

Performance Range & Contamination Control Coverage

Prevention or Removal — Built Around Reliability Strategy

Prevention solutions focus on stopping contamination before it enters the equipment. This includes storage, transfer, breathers, sealed handling, and inspection tools.

Removal solutions focus on cleaning oil already in service. This includes filtration, purification, varnish removal, and oil conditioning systems.

A strong lubrication program should include both.
