What hours does RSI operate? Because of the nature of our customers' operations, our services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Back to Top
How many times can a fluid be purified? RSI has demonstrated that most fluids can be purified many, many times over. In fact, when fluids are kept in good operating condition, their useful life can be extended by over 1000%. Back to Top
How often should I decontaminate my fluid system? Because RSI is a reliability focused organization, we recommend system decontamination at each equipment outage, prior to initial commissioning, and after any catastrophic failure. Back to Top
Who does the actual work? We do! Our technicians are high trained and hold various industry certifications and credentials. Back to Top
How do I know that my fluid and system have successfully been purified? RSI utilizes real-time state-of-the-art technology in fluid analysis such as laser particle counters. Our on-site instruments will measure fluid and system conditions throughout the process and the data is immediately available to us and our clients. Furthermore, once the project is completed, RSI sends all samples to an independent laboratory for further testing and verification. Back to Top
What happens to the contaminants that are removed? Solid contaminants are collected in bulk and in filter media. Moisture and gasses are either collected or scrubbed out during the process. Removed contamination is either left behind at the plant or we can arrange for its disposal according to local rules and regulations. Back to Top
What does the purification process cost? Fluid purification, depending on volumes processed, typically costs far less than the cost of new replacement fluid. In fact, most of our clients can expect to save tens of thousands of dollars annually in reduced new fluid purchases alone. Back to Top
Will the RSI Process damage or remove my fluid's additives? No. With few exceptions, additives are evenly dispersed in solution throughout the fluid. Occasionally, when certain fluid additives are large enough to be removed, RSI will change the process to ensure this doesn't happen. Back to Top
Is color a good indication of my fluid's cleanliness? No. Color has little to do with cleanliness levels. In fact, fluids can often appear to be normal while actually they are severely contaminated. Back to Top
What is fluid purification? Purification is the mechanical and thermal vacuum method of separating damaging contaminants from a fluid so the fluid and equipment can experience significantly higher levels of reliability. Back to Top
What type of equipment is used during the RSI process? RSI primarily utilizes state-of-the-art vacuum distillation, centrifugal separation, high velocity flow, chemical cleaning, and sub-micron particle elimination. Back to Top
What types of fluid can be purified? Most commercial and industrial fluids and coolants with very few exceptions. Used motor oils are generally not candidates for purification. Back to Top
Can you filter out fluid oxidation? In certain situations, we can employ technologies to scrub out oxidative byproducts from fluid thereby lowering the overall oxidation value. In most cases however, because fluids typically become contaminated far in advance of any oxidation, this process is not necessary. Back to Top
