Choose a suitable asset
Review engine or hydraulic system, fluid type and volume, duty cycle, filtration connections, existing issues, and equipment guidance.
NuTek pilot approach
Start with the machine.
Let the evidence lead.
A successful filtration program begins with the operating conditions of your own equipment. Our pilot approach measures fluid cleanliness, maintenance effort, oil use, and service outcomes before making a case for wider adoption.
Discuss a pilotFour practical steps
From first asset to informed decision.
We agree on a suitable application and what success would look like, then compare observations against a documented baseline. Installation and sampling plans must fit the machine, fluid, and site.
Document current conditions
Record oil analysis, service interval, oil purchases, maintenance hours, downtime, and used oil handling. Agree on sampling and review intervals.
Measure performance in service
Install an approved configuration, take comparable fluid samples, inspect filter condition, and track service events and operating conditions.
Scale what the data supports
Review cleanliness trends, practical maintenance effects, cost and oil use. Expand only where the evidence supports an operational benefit.
What we measure
A pilot should answer operational questions.
Fluid analysis and maintenance records give teams a basis for decisions. Specific measures are selected with the operator for each asset.
Fluid conditionParticle cleanliness trends and application appropriate lab tests.
Equipment & serviceHours, duty cycle, interruptions, filter service, and component observations.
Oil & costReplacement volume, handling, disposal, and maintenance effort against baseline.
Environmental impactPotential lifecycle CO₂ effect from avoided oil replacement and handling, calculated from documented assumptions.
A disciplined conclusion
Results belong to the application.
An improving sample trend is useful evidence, but it does not prove why the change occurred on its own. Pilot reviews consider operating conditions, sample consistency, equipment guidance, and any changes made during the trial.
Service intervals are extended only when testing and manufacturer guidance support continued use. Estimated CO₂ savings concern oil lifecycle activities; the filtration system does not remove engine exhaust emissions.
