sector by sector.
Every industry places a different demand on its oil — high airborne dust in cement, heat and scale in steel, fire-resistant control fluids in power, and hundreds of individual hydraulic systems in automobile and auto ancillary plants. The application points change. The oil changes. The contamination challenges and required cleanliness levels change. So the filtration approach changes too.
Drawing on decades of experience across industries, VATS identifies the critical application points, the cleanliness level to be maintained and the right filtration solution for each.
Unique combination of filter element and machine configured suited for your specific application.

Guaranteed Quality
The required NAS/ISO cleanliness level is defined and maintained for each critical application.
Maximum Uptime
Continuous operations cannot afford filtration-related stoppages. Clean oil reduces wear and breakdowns, helping keep critical equipment running without interruption.
Extended Oil Life
Keeping contamination under control allows oil to remain in service longer — reducing oil replacement frequency, consumption and cost.
Why it is never one machineSame problem.
Same problem.
Different answer.
The contamination problem may be the same. The right filtration solution is not. Tank capacity, operating conditions and the cleanliness level to be maintained determine the approach.

Contamination is the problem in both applications. But where the oil is, how much of it there is, and how the equipment operates determine how it should be kept clean.
How an engagement startsMeasure first.
Measure first.
Then recommend.
Every engagement starts with understanding the current oil condition, the application and the maintenance challenges.
Oil Audit
Oil is sampled and tested to establish the current cleanliness level, moisture and overall oil condition.
Understand the Application
Tank capacities, oil types, operating conditions, maintenance issues and critical application points are mapped across the plant.
Prioritise & Recommend
The most critical applications and highest maintenance concerns are identified first. The appropriate Fluent product or solution is then recommended for each requirement.
Measure the Result
Performance is verified against the cleanliness level to be achieved, with continued monitoring available through VATS IOTA.

Book an oil audit, without commitment. Every application is different. An oil audit shows what your oil needs, where the problem is, and what will make the biggest difference. From there, VATS recommends the right filtration solution.
