The AEFS family is a unique breakthrough technology creating unparallel cleanliness

in lubricating oils and lubrication systems for the power generation, pulp & paper,
manufacturing, petro-chemical, and injection molding markets. The AEFS technology
family is designed to clean and purify lubricating oil, and lubricating systems in the sub
micron level. The electronically activated filtration, executed in a low flow rate off-line
loop, provides 0.09 = 200 particle removal without the disadvantages observed with
other fine filters. Varnish precursors and products of oxidation are quickly removed from
the lubricating oil and lubricating systems, thus restoring fluids to pristine condition,
maximizing equipment and fluid performance.

The AEFS family technology has three product offerings that can filter up to 7,200
gallons, 3,600 gallons, and 1,600 gallons a day. The three systems are designed and
manufactured in a kidney loop fashion as a perfect companion to compliment full flow
filters. These full flow filters are specifically designed to protect the machinery from
clearance sized debris which will cause immediate clearance size wear and damage to the
machinery. In the recent past, operations and maintenance personnel have been lulled
into a false sense of security by reducing the pore size of the full flow filters to increase
particulate cleanliness. Reducing the pore size of full-flow filters has created additional
electrostatic energy and electrostatic discharge which leads to aggressive varnishing.

The AEFS solution suggests a new alternative...return the full flow filters to the
original OEM specifications and add the AEFS Filmax Inc kidney loop / off line
filtration solution exclusively sold through Fluid Assets, LLC. This combination
provides triple benefits at a single stroke;

1. Returning the filters to the OEM Specifications reduces the generation of

electrostatic energy and reduces electrostatic spark discharge. Using non-sparking filters
can reduce this tendency even further.

2. The AEFS technology will over time (3 to 6 weeks), remove all of the fine
particulate material from the fluid, not only achieving lower particle counts but also
removing the material which cause varnishing in the first place.

3. The ultra pure fluid created by the AEFS technology is such a rapacious cleaner
that the entire equipment lubricating system is cleaned as it would be with a chemical
flush. However since the existing fluid is used, there can be no compatibility issues what
so ever...in essence, a chemical flush with no down time!

The AEFS triple benefit savings side of the ledger is thus;

a. The avoidance of the oil system cleaning cost at overhaul.

b. The increased reliability by pre-cleaning all of the sludge holding large reserves of
wear metals which can re-enter the recirculation stream under conditions of vibration.
c. Increased reliability through the removal of varnishing and pre-varnishing materials,
which can, and eventually will cause reduction of critical clearances or the restriction
of lubricant supply lines.

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC FILTRATION SYSTEM

ELIMINATING VARNISH, SLUDGE, AND CONTAMINATION

IN LUBRICATING SYSTEMS
150 GPH

The Filmax AEFS-3600* is a high performance, robust, and

reliable Advance Electronic Filtration System designed to clean and
purify lubricating systems up to 3,600 gallons. The AEFS-3600 is
the confluence of several technologies which rapidly and selectively
remove small and large contamination from many industrial and
hydraulic fluids.

The Filmax AEFS-3600 is a unique breakthrough technology

creating unparallel cleanliness below the 3 micron level.
Electronically activated capillary size depth filtration, executed in
a low flow rate off-line loop, provides 0.05 = 200 particle removal
without the disadvantages observed with other fine filters. Varnish
precursors and products of oxidation are quickly removed from the
lubricating oil and the lubrication system thus restoring fluids to
pristine condition, maximizing equipment and fluid performance.

d. The improvement of thermal conductivity throughout the lubrication system due to
the removal of coatings, reducing bearing and oil temperatures and thus prolonging
the life of both items.
e. Pre-cleaning beyond the limits of a chemical flush will insure that when the change-
over to the new lubricant occurs, the potential for mixing issues will be minimal.

The above, in aggregate will add up to significant savings and cost avoidance. Varnishing
and sludging is an ongoing procedure which is a natural part of the oxidation process.
Since the generation of this debris is continuous, the treatment must also be continuous!!!
