Purification of Contaminated MIL-PRF-83282 Hydraulic Fluid Using the Pall Purifier and Multiple Process Configurations (Preprint)

摘要

The amount of hydraulic fluid used by all branches of the military is significant both in terms of volume and cost. The disposal of used hydraulic fluid is a cost, time, and logistical component that can be greatly reduced by the purification and reuse of used hydraulic fluid. This report describes a project that evaluated the effectiveness of various hydraulic fluid purification process configurations on the removal of water and particulate contaminants from MIL-PRF-83282 hydraulic fluid in 55-gallon drums.
