Fluids

In general manufacturing, such as plastics, steel and car part production, lubrication is often dismissed as a routine maintenance task. Correct lubrication plays a vital role keeping precision machine tools producing on-spec finished goods. Inline sensors will detect changes immediately to reduce component rework and maintain surface finish.

In these exceptionally harsh environments, where dirt, water and wear metal can mix like a grinding compound, equipment is expected to work continuously. Ensuring the lube oil, grease and hydraulic fluid is getting where it is needed and it is protecting the moving parts is critical. FluidTek offer a range of inline and portable sensors with various methods of data transmission so that you stay in control of your business.

Lubrication in the pulp and paper industry is a significant engineering challenge because the equipment must operate 24/7 in some of the most hostile industrial environments—characterized by extreme moisture, high temperatures, and chemical exposure. Lubricants protect components such as bearings, gears, cylinders, and rollers from direct contact, wear, and overheating. Press and drying sections, in particular, face extreme conditions: heat, mechanical load, and constant proximity to water

Operating in a marine environment comes with a unique set of challenges—saltwater exposure, extreme weather conditions, and continuous mechanical stress. The lube oils, grease and hydraulic fluids are put to the test. Systems that report on how the machinery is performing ensure the ship mechanical components get you from A to B, without incident.

As the industry moves toward renewable energy and high-efficiency infrastructure, lubrication performance requirements have become significantly more demanding. To manage these critical operating conditions, organizations must adopt sophisticated lubrication monitoring and control to support comprehensive maintenance strategies that minimise unplanned downtime.

Wastewater treatment is a long, complex process that requires substantial time and financial resources. Fluidtek delivers advanced monitoring and control technologies designed to optimize every stage of wastewater treatment.

The high organic content in process water in the pulp & paper industry allows microorganisms to grow rapidly, which can negatively impact paper quality. Fluidtek provides advanced solutions for monitoring the total microorganism population and stress levels in high-solids process fluids—ideal for demanding environments such as the pulp and paper industry.

Marine operations require reliable power sources that can withstand harsh sea conditions. Our solutions are engineered for durability and efficiency, ensuring that marine vessels and offshore platforms maintain continuous power supply. Whether for propulsion or auxiliary power, our systems offer a sustainable alternative that reduces environmental impact while enhancing operational reliability.

In automotive manufacturing, Electro-Deposition (ED) coating relies on clean, stable process fluids to ensure superior corrosion protection and flawless surface finishing. Fluidtek offers rapid microbial monitoring solutions that deliver precise results within minutes, helping you maintain bath integrity, prevent contamination, and ensure consistent, high-quality ED coating performance.

Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a significant maintenance and operation cost in the oil and gas sector, especially in product transfer pipelines. Microbial growth is also common in offshore cooling systems. FluidTek’s solutions reduce the time to identify these issues with highly accurate and rapid field testing, allowing operators to control their costs and increase uptime. Extending the life of lubricants and hydraulic fluids in remote operating locations can provide many benefits. FluidTek’s solutions reduce downtime, maintenance costs and free up valuable workspace.

The warm and moist environment within cooling towers creates ideal conditions for rapid microbial growth, which can lead to scaling, corrosion, biofouling, and reduced cooling efficiency. Fluidtek offers advanced solutions for monitoring the total microorganism population and microbial activity within cooling tower systems. With our rapid and accurate monitoring technology, you can maintain proper biocide dosing, prevent biofouling, and ensure your cooling tower operates safely, efficiently, and reliably.

Aviation fuel requires exceptional purity to ensure safe and reliable aircraft operations, yet the presence of water and organic material can trigger microbial growth that leads to fuel degradation, corrosion, and system blockages. Fluidtek provides rapid microbial monitoring solutions that deliver accurate results within minutes, enabling early detection, effective control, and protection of fuel quality and critical aviation assets.

Marine operations require reliable power sources that can withstand harsh sea conditions. Our solutions are engineered for durability and efficiency, ensuring that marine vessels and offshore platforms maintain continuous power supply. Whether for propulsion or auxiliary power, our systems offer a sustainable alternative that reduces environmental impact while enhancing operational reliability.

Ports are vital hubs of global and local trade. STS Cranes, RTGs, Reach Stackers, Forklifts and other port equipment must be reliable and efficient to avoid demurrage costs. Poorly stored and distributed fuel at the port will impact all diesel powered equipment. Low performance, increased exhaust emissions and premature component failure, eg injectors can be costly for the operation. FluidTek understand the unique challenges for port facilities and provide tailored solutions to reduce ship loading and unloading facilities total operating costs.

FluidTek offers comprehensive solutions to elevate the performance of both on-road and off-road vehicle fleets. Our fuel filtration and conditioning technologies ensure vehicles operate at peak efficiency, while extending engine life. We understand the critical nature of fleet reliability and strive to reduce the total cost of transporting goods.

Whole communities rely on continuous uninterrupted power. Often locations using diesel power are remote and have only one main fuel storage tank. If the fuel is highly contaminated it will affect all gensets. It will also reduce the duration between maintenance and repair works on the storage tank. Higher fuel consumption, poor engine performance and increased lube oil changes add costs and decrease reliability. FluidTek’s solutions reduce costs and increase reliability to keep gensets running with less fuel, less exhaust emissions and less maintenance.

Uptime is one of the most critical KPIs for a data centre. Data centres are installing multiple layers of power redundancy to avoid power blackouts. FluidTek’s solutions meet the stringent requirements to control water, particulate and microbial contamination in the biodiesel standby fuel system. This helps to safeguard data integrity and operational reliability. FluidTek are supporting the growing use of water to cool servers by identifying and quantifying biofilm and microbial infestation in the cooling system. A thin layer of biofilm can reduce heat transfer efficiency by 50%.

Others critical facilities, such as; hospitals, airports, banks, finance centres, emergency response units, government buildings, etc. cannot afford power disruptions. FluidTek offers solutions for part or all of your standby power. Our systems are engineered to meet the stringent demands of these essential services. A focus on reliability and rapid response is integral to our solutions. Vital services remain fully operational, ensuring the safety and well-being of those who depend on them. Utilising IIoT, operators and management can rest assured this part of their operation is under control.
