Compressor Oil Purifiers
Proactive, Predictive, Reliability-centered
Fluid Metrics’ Compressor Oil Purifier (COP) is changing the way rotary screw air compressors are maintained. Instead of having to regularly replace expensive oil and parts at preset intervals, the COP does the work for you and gets to the root of the problem – Oil Contamination and Degradation.
Like a kidney for your compressor, the COP purifies its “lifeblood” by continuously removing the destructive acids and ultra-fine solid contaminants that standard oil filters leave behind. If ignored and these harmful contaminants are allowed to accumulate, the oil’s physical, chemical and performance properties degrade faster and faster to dramatically reduce the life of the oil and compressor internals (separators, bearings, coolers, shaft seals, thermal valves, and more).
Specifically designed for oil-flooded rotary screw air compressors, the COP utilizes patented Dual Core Purification Elements that combine Ion Exchange Acid Adsorption and Ultra-fine Filtration to selectively target and remove the contaminants that accelerate oxidation, oil degradation, additive depletion, corrosion, wear, and fouling - the root causes of most compressor maintenance and repairs.

The Heart of the COP
Protects Compressors From:

Ultra-Fine Solids
Using a COP is like having a full-time Maintenance Technician working around the clock on your compressor. With state-of-the-art contaminant control technologies, the COP proactively maintains your compressor – so you don’t have to – to deliver maximum protection, performance, and service life of the oil and compressor. By continuously removing destructive acids and clearance-size solids before they can do damage, the COP adds extra protection that dramatically increases the useful life and reduces consumption of expensive compressor oils, separators, and other vital components. As a result - reliability goes up; while maintenance frequency, compressor downtime, oil and parts consumption, waste disposal, and overall maintenance costs – all go down!
Simplicity & Flexibility By Design
Oil-injected rotary screw air compressors suffer from a unique design that subjects their oil to relentless attack from contaminant-rich air, high temperatures, and extreme aeration that accelerate oxidation and the buildup of acids and solids in the oil.
Born out of the compressor industry, the award-winning COP was designed by a team of compressor Engineers and lubricant Chemists to counteract this design flaw while checking all the boxes for simplicity, reliability and performance.
Available in three sizes for small, medium and large compressors (up to 600 HP) and can be used on most make and model compressors.
COPs are effective with today’s most common synthetic and mineral-based compressor fluids, including PAGs, POEs, PAOs, SHCs, and Food Grade oils.
COPs are ideal for both normal and abnormal “Acid Gas” environments found in many industrial locations.
Each COP includes an Installation Kit complete with mounting bracket, steel-braided hydraulic hoses, flow meter, sight glass, valves, fittings, and hardware for quick and easy installation.
COPs are installed in bypass (kidney loop) to the compressor’s main oil filter and are easily isolated for servicing without needing to shutdown the compressor.
Best Practice In Compressor Maintenance
For The Ultimate In
Protection, Reliability, & Savings
The first step towards optimizing compressor reliability and lowering maintenance costs is using a COP to control the buildup of acids and solids contaminants in the oil.
Step two builds on the COP to take reliability and cost saving to a whole other level by replenishing the oil’s protective additives that naturally deplete in service and using routine oil analysis (instead of time in service) for predictive, condition-based, maintenance.
By combining Fluid Metrics’ PuroLube PAG 16K extended-life, non-varnishing, fully synthetic (PAG/POE) compressor oil, with our proprietary PuroLube XTEND replenishable additive concentrate, users can keep their oil’s additives at new oil levels to deliver ongoing protection to their oil and compressor.
The PuroLube PLUS System (PuroLube + COP + PuroLube XTEND + Oil Analysis) is The Best Practice in Compressor Maintenance providing the ultimate in protection, reliability, and savings for your air compressors. Users of the PuroLube PLUS System have experienced more than 5 times increase in their oil life (5+ years) for more than 80% reduction in their maintenance costs.
