How bypass filtration works
A secondary filtration path diverts a controlled portion of circulating fluid through a dedicated element and returns it to the system. It complements the machine's primary filtration. The right flow, connections, element, and service plan depend on the machine and fluid.
Fluid samples help show whether cleanliness is improving in the actual application. A filter does not replace the equipment's original protection or the need for routine maintenance.

Different fluids, different designs
Engine oil and hydraulic fluid face different operating pressures, temperatures, contaminants, and equipment requirements. Their filtration configurations need to be selected accordingly. Diesel fuel requires a dedicated fuel compatible element and flow design; NuTek's fuel solution is coming soon.
Start with the fluid type and the asset, then confirm compatibility, installation safety, and the measurements that will matter in service.

How to measure a pilot
Document the machine's duty cycle, fluid condition, oil change pattern, maintenance hours, and used oil before installation. Collect comparable samples during the pilot and track any other changes to the operating process.
Potential COâ‚‚ benefit comes from avoided oil production, transport, and handling when fewer premature changes are supported by testing. It must be estimated from actual volumes and stated assumptions; filtration does not remove exhaust emissions.
