Section 1: Operational Challenges in Steel Mills 1.1 Contamination: The Silent Productivity Killer Particle Ingress: Metal abrasives from gear wear or environmental dust (common in mining and ore processing) infiltrate oil circuits. Particles as small as 5μm cause valve scarring and pump seizures . Water Contamination: Humidity-induced condensation or coolant leaks lead to oil emulsification. This degrades lubricity and promotes rust, increasing friction by up to 30% . Thermal Degradation: High loads generate temperatures exceeding 80°C, oxidizing oil and forming sludge that clogs critical passages . 1.2 The Cost of Neglect Component Wear: Unfiltered contaminants increase abrasive wear in pumps and valves, spiking maintenance costs by 25–40% . Energy Waste: Sludge-laden oil elevates frictional resistance, inflating energy consumption by 8–12% . Downtime: Frequent failures halted production lines for 5–10 hours monthly in unmitigated cases . Table: Impact of Oil Contamination in Steel Plants Issue Frequency Cost Impact Production Loss Pump Failures 3–5/month $12,000/repair 8–12 hours Valve Blockages 10–15/month $3,000/replacement 15–20 hours Energy Overruns Continuous $180,000/year N/A Oil Replacement Quarterly $24,000/year 4 hours/turn Data derived from .

Purifying lubricating oil plays a role in industrial settings to uphold the effectiveness and durability of machinery operations. In industries on lubricants to minimize friction and uphold smooth functionality, it's essential to tackle pollutants, like water and solid particles, that can compromise oil quality, potentially causing equipment deterioration or performance issues. The Ourun KORS 308 C filtration system is specially engineered to eliminate moisture and impurities from oils. This underscores the need for purification systems capable of meeting stringent cleanliness requirements. Getting rid of these substances from the oil through purification systems significantly improves the performance of lubricants and helps in prolonging the life of both the oil and the machinery it supports. The Ourun KOR106 C system provides advantages to industrial processes by efficiently eliminating impurities from oil to prevent failures in hydraulic equipment and boost operational dependability while extending the lifespan of machinery. Moreover, clean lube oil reduces downtime. Saves on maintenance expenses, making it an essential element of industrial activities. Key Factors Affecting the Purification Process Many aspects impact how well lube oil purification works, such as the kind…
