How is turbine lube oil purification performed?

Turbine lube oil purification is performed by removing contaminants such as water, solid particles, and acids that degrade the oil’s lubricating properties. The oil is passed through filtration systems to remove solid particles and centrifuges to separate water and sludge. Vacuum dehydration is often used to eliminate moisture, which can cause corrosion and reduce the oil’s effectiveness in lubricating turbine components.
