All new oils should be checked for cleanliness and pre-filtered before use, this reduces the particulates that will have accumulated from vessel to vessel transfers. Potential water absorption through open topped vessels.

We can send you a sampling kit so that you could take a sample of your oil and return it to us (postage paid) so that it could be analysed to see if it is cost effective to filter. We would then quote you based on the volume of oil that requires filtering, along with any carriage charges (if applicable).

Arrangements can be made to collect from your premises or you can send your oil directly to us using your own transport.

Our filtration systems are capable of removing particulate contaminants – dirt, wear metal particles, fibres – and water contamination. We filter oils to industry standards and our service can deal with 20 and 25 litre drums, 205 litre barrels and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC’s).

We can filter oils for a very low cost per litre, so by sending your oils to FA-ST we can assist in reducing your overheads and waste disposal costs.

After filtration, we provide a second laboratory analysis report with full details of ISO Cleanliness with full particle counts, viscosity @ 40°C, FW Index, water content, additives etc. The clean oil can be returned in your containers or in new 20/25 litre plastic drums, steel or plastic 208 litre drums or 1000 litre IBC’s. With our own fork truck facility and warehousing, along with good access for HGV’s, we can accommodate full vehicle loads at any one time.
