Boll Lucent AB combines the two world leading technologies of filtration and separation into a complete system in purifying industrial oils. It is the combination of the two technologies That gives Boll Lucent the unique position to offer the customers an improved quality of the oil together with decreased operating cost and a major reduction of the environmental impact.

Lubrication oils have a wide field of applications within industry. Common to these various applications is the fact that the oils, over time, become so polluted that they begin to affect negatively the processes they are intended to lubricate. Ideally, it should be possible for the same oil indefinitely and at the same time control level of pollutants and overall quality of the lube oil.

Conventional methods remove some of the pollutants, but they leave smaller particles as well as foreign liquids, both of which gradually accumulate in the oil. The challenge is to be able to remove even the smallest particles (< 5 µm) and all foreign liquids, such as water, before they can adversely affect the lube oil’s inherent properties.

The traditional methods for accomplishing this involve using large filtration systems or sedimentation tanks.  However, these methods result in large amounts of waste material that require proper disposal. Additionally, these traditional methods are inefficient and eventually lead to increased maintenance requirements.

Boll Lucent AB provides you with a compact and environmental friendly oil treatment system which separates contaminations as small as or even smaller than 1 micron.
