Product catalog summary
Overview
Vacuum Assisted Oil Mist Eliminators are designed for reciprocating engines and turbines to ensure environmental compliance and protect workplaces from harmful oil mist emissions. These systems are applicable in various sectors including landfill gas to energy, standby power, prime power, and mechanical drive.

Key Features
  • Eliminates visible oil mist emissions with high efficiency coalescing elements.
  • Constructed from rugged carbon steel with industrial-grade powder coat finish.
  • Equipped with control valves for precise pressure regulation and integrated vacuum relief for motor protection.
  • Available in a wide range of motor options including explosion-proof and ATEX certified.
  • Flow range from 1 to 1500 CFM, with higher flows available upon request.
  • Pressure rating of 1 bar full vacuum for most models.
  • Full automation compatible with PLC and DCS systems.

Applications
  • Marine: Used in passenger ships, workboats, and military vessels to ensure safety and reliability.
  • Power Generation: Suitable for peaking, nuclear, and base load power plants.
  • Gas Compression: Protects equipment from condensate, oil, and particulate entrained in the gas stream.

Technical Specifications
  • Efficiency: 99.97% for 0.3 micron oil mist and particulate.
  • Construction: Stainless steel options for harsh environments, with custom coatings and colors available.
  • Certifications: ASME Section VIII or PED pressure certifications, with options for explosive environments (ATEX, Class I Div. 1).
  • Operating Temperature: Continuous operation from 68°F (20°C) to 180°F (80°C).

Environmental Compliance
In line with the 2013 U.S. EPA’s RICE NESHAP ruling, stationary engines over 300HP should be equipped with a crankcase ventilation system to reduce harmful emissions. Solberg partners with plant operators to update equipment and lessen environmental impact.

Closed Crankcase Ventilation Systems
  • Captures hazardous oil mist and particulate emissions from crankcases, achieving 99.97% efficiency for 0.3 micron oil mist.
  • Protects turbochargers, intercoolers, and exhaust catalysts from contamination and damage.
  • Maintains required crankcase vacuum via integrated self-regulating valve.
  • Recovers expensive lube oil lost during the venting process, reducing maintenance costs.

Conclusion
Solberg’s Vacuum Assisted Oil Mist Eliminators and Closed Crankcase Ventilation Systems offer high efficiency and reliability for various industrial applications, ensuring environmental compliance and operational efficiency.
