ISO Field Services provides practical on-site lubrication support for industrial plants, mines, workshops and fleet operations. Our work focuses on cleaner oil, controlled contamination, reduced downtime and improved equipment reliability through fluid handling, tank cleaning, oil system flushing, vacuum dehydration, microfine filtration and oil recovery.
From hydraulic reservoirs and gearboxes to diesel storage systems and large oil circulation loops, our field team helps remove sludge, water, particulate contamination and service-related risk before they become equipment failures.
ISO Field Services is built for practical site conditions. The service scope can be deployed as a single intervention or as part of a wider contamination-control, oil-analysis and reliability programme.
Controlled oil draining, temporary storage and fluid handling for maintenance shutdowns, oil changes and system interventions.
Removal of sludge, settled solids, degraded oil residue and contamination from tanks, reservoirs and lubrication system sumps.
High-flow flushing and filtration support to help achieve agreed cleanliness targets before start-up, recommissioning or return to service.
Continuous or temporary water-removal support for systems affected by free water, emulsified water or moisture ingress.
Vacuum dehydration removes free, emulsified and dissolved water from industrial oils where moisture contamination threatens reliability.
Fine filtration for hydraulic oils, gear oils, circulating oils and diesel systems where standard filtration is not enough.
Temporary or purpose-specific oil heating support to improve oil handling, circulation, flushing and purification performance.
Recovery and purification support for contaminated oil or diesel where the fluid can be safely cleaned and returned to controlled use.
Used oil can often be treated when the base oil is still viable and contamination is the main problem. Final suitability should be confirmed by oil analysis.
Every site has a different contamination profile, oil volume, access limitation and reliability target. ISO Field Services follows a practical engineering workflow to reduce risk and deliver measurable fluid-condition improvement.
Review the asset, oil type, system volume, contamination symptoms, access points and operational constraints.
Plan draining, storage, flushing, heating, filtration, dehydration or recovery requirements before site execution.
Perform the required field service with controlled fluid handling, contamination control and practical site safety in mind.
Confirm improvement using cleanliness checks, moisture reduction, visual inspection or oil analysis where required.
Not every oil problem can be solved with a standard filter cart. Some systems require heating, high-flow flushing, vacuum dehydration, custom pipework, extended filtration cycles, staged cleaning or site-specific containment.
ISO Field Services can design a practical solution around the machine, lubricant, contamination type and operational window. This is useful for plants with recurring water ingress, high particle counts, dirty tanks, diesel contamination, slow oil turnover or critical assets that cannot tolerate uncontrolled maintenance work.
These answers help maintenance teams understand when to use on-site lubrication services, oil flushing, vacuum dehydration and microfine filtration.
ISO Field Services includes on-site lubrication system draining, clean fluid storage, internal tank cleaning, sludge removal, oil system flushing, ISO cleanliness verification, water removal, vacuum dehydration, microfine filtration, oil heating, oil recovery, diesel purification and bespoke site-specific fluid solutions.
An oil system should be flushed after fabrication, major maintenance, component failure, tank cleaning, contamination ingress or before recommissioning a critical system. Flushing helps remove particles, sludge and debris before the machine returns to service.
No. In this context, ISO cleanliness verification refers to checking oil cleanliness against an agreed ISO 4406 particle cleanliness target. It is not a formal ISO management-system certification.
Yes, in many cases water can be removed by water capture systems or vacuum dehydration. The correct method depends on whether the water is free, emulsified or dissolved, and whether the oil is still chemically serviceable.
Used oil may be suitable for treatment when contamination is the main issue and the base oil and additive system remain serviceable. Oil analysis should be used to confirm whether purification, rejuvenation or full replacement is the correct action.
Mining, manufacturing, transport, power generation, workshops, agriculture, steel, cement, marine and general industrial plants can benefit where oil cleanliness, water contamination, sludge or diesel quality affects reliability.
