FlowGuard

1-micron filtration — built for oilfield reality

FlowGuard polishes hydraulic and lubricating oils down to 1 micron — 25 times finer than the OEM-supplied filters on most rig equipment.

The filtration gap in every rig.

OEM filtration on drilling rigs typically stops at 25 microns. Equipment manufacturers actually specify 5 microns for long-life operation. Only FlowGuard filters down to 1 micron — and we've proven it in the field on mud pumps, accumulators, catwalks, HPUs and drawworks.

The damage happens below the OEM threshold

The particles that destroy bearings, score cylinder walls and shorten oil life are well below what OEM filtration can capture.
