John Edwards here, talking about contamination control fundamentals and summarizing the steps that we take to properly select the correct filters, putting them in the right place, monitoring the system and making sure to give the customer maximum efficiency and and the least amount of downtime possible. Number one is determine the actual desired target cleanliness level of a system by looking at it as a whole and picking the most sensitive component and defining that target level. Number two is selecting the right medium, high-performance, high efficiency filtration and at what micron level, dependent on the system. Where to filter, whether that’s in the pressure line, return line filter or our research type filter. Selecting a good filler breather, we discussed how important is to have a good filler breather to catch those airborne particles before they make their way into the reservoir. Practicing good contamination control, good housekeeping, not leaving filter caps off in a dusty environment, not stuffing rags in hose assemblies. So, things of that nature and also, verifying the results by either pulling fluid samples on a proactive maintenance type schedule or by some of the various diagnostic equipments that we can supply where the customer on-site can actually do real-time iso-cleanliness levels, trend analysis and any ways we can be proactive to maximize our efficiency. Thank you.
