Measure and verify
On-site particle measurement helps establish the starting cleanliness, follow progress and confirm the result using the same reporting method.
NATCOM measures the oil, removes particles and water with a treatment setup selected for the fluid and machine, then verifies the result. On-site service across Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Industrial oil care
Particles and water do not always mean the oil must be replaced. NATCOM measures the starting condition, agrees the required cleanliness and water targets, then selects a portable or fixed treatment loop for the oil system.
Filtration is not a cure for every oil problem. Oxidation, viscosity change, depleted additives and soluble varnish need different tests and may need a different response. The condition of the oil decides the work.
The job ends with a second measurement, not an assumed result.
These signs justify a representative sample. They do not, by themselves, decide the treatment.
A high or rising ISO 4406 code can point to contamination ingress, wear debris or inadequate control at transfer and storage points.
Visible haze, free water or a high measured water level calls for the water form, source and safe treatment method to be established.
Short filter life can indicate continued ingress, accumulated contamination or a filter arrangement that is not matched to the duty.
Particles or water may contribute to valve and servo problems, but the oil data and machine symptoms must be read together before treatment.
How NATCOM handles it
Record the oil type, reservoir volume, viscosity, temperature, access points, operating duty and equipment requirements.
Take a representative sample and establish particle cleanliness and water condition. Add oil-health tests when the evidence calls for them.
Select the flow, filter media and water-removal method, then circulate the oil through a separate treatment loop where the site allows it.
Sample again from an agreed point, compare the same measurements and document the result against the target set before treatment.
Matched to the oil system
Oil type, viscosity, reservoir volume, contamination, connection points and site rules all affect the treatment setup. NATCOM selects the filtration and water-removal method around those conditions, agrees the treatment target and checks progress through representative oil samples.
On-site particle measurement helps establish the starting cleanliness, follow progress and confirm the result using the same reporting method.
Portable offline equipment removes solid contamination from hydraulic, lubricating and selected process oils. The fluid, viscosity and target determine the setup.
Water-removal equipment treats free and entrained water in compatible hydraulic, gearbox and transformer oils. The starting condition decides the media and treatment plan.
Hydraulic oil case study
Filtertechnik reports that a 900-litre hydraulic oil system improved from ISO 21/19/16 and 800 ppm water to ISO 13/12/8 and 50 ppm after a two-day cleanup. The full case study explains the treatment and reported results.

Similar machine symptoms can come from different oil problems. The test result separates the work filtration can do from the work it cannot.
Use particle filtration
Set the target from the machine requirement and the measured ISO 4406 cleanliness code.
Use a suitable water-removal method
Measure the water condition and confirm oil compatibility before selecting the treatment.
Test before deciding
Oxidation, viscosity change or depleted additives may require another treatment or an oil change.
Use a varnish-specific plan
Conventional particle filtration does not necessarily remove soluble varnish from the oil system.
Where the service fits
NATCOM confirms fluid compatibility and the required condition before selecting a filtration or water-removal setup.
Lubrication systems that need controlled particle and water levels alongside oil-health checks.
Presses, power units and control systems affected by poor cleanliness or water ingress.
Industrial drives where wear debris, dirt or water threatens oil and component condition.
Clean and protect heat transfer oils from deposits to maximize efficiency and minimiize waste.
Regional delivery
NATCOM uses the same measure, treat and verify method in both markets. Each job is scoped for the fluid, machine and operating conditions at that site.
We provide solid-particle filtration, water removal, varnish removal and oil sampling to the clients of ExxonMobil, as their sole service partner as well as directly to our wide range of clients.
NATCOM scopes Saudi oil filtration and water-removal projects from Al Khobar. The team confirms the fluid, reservoir, treatment target, access and equipment configuration before mobilization.
Sometimes. Particle count, water level, oil chemistry and the equipment requirement determine whether filtration, another treatment or replacement is appropriate. NATCOM measures the condition before recommending the route.
The selected system can remove solid particles and, with suitable media or equipment, free and entrained water. Soluble varnish, depleted additives and chemically degraded oil require separate assessment and may need a different treatment.
Oil filtration usually refers to removing solid particles. Purification is a broader term that can include particle and water removal. Oil dehydration specifically targets water. The equipment still has to match the oil, the form of contamination and the required result.
In some applications, yes. An external offline loop can treat oil while the main system operates. NATCOM confirms the connection points, temperature, flow, safety rules and machine manufacturer requirements before proposing that arrangement.
The starting result and the equipment requirement are used to agree an ISO 4406 or NAS cleanliness target and, where relevant, a water target in parts per million.
Typical applications include turbine and compressor oils, hydraulic, lubricating, gearbox and transformer oils. NATCOM confirms fluid compatibility, viscosity, reservoir volume and treatment suitability before selecting equipment.
No. Conventional filtration is aimed at particles and, when configured for it, water. Soluble varnish and deposits need varnish-specific testing and treatment. NATCOM separates those problems before defining the work.
Yes. NATCOM scopes industrial oil filtration and water-removal projects through its offices in Cairo and Al Khobar (coming soon). The fluid, system, target and site conditions determine the equipment and field plan.
Share the oil type, reservoir volume, latest particle and water results, and the symptoms you are seeing. NATCOM will define the measurement and treatment scope.
