Description of unit
The FluidAqua Mobil was developed for the dewatering, filtration and
degassing of hydraulic and lubricating oils. It removes free water, emulsified
water and a large percentage of the water to be found in solution. The
integrated fluid filter ensures an efficient separation of solid particles.
The drying and degassing of the medium is achieved by the negative
pressure in the vacuum column.
