High Velocity Flushing, Oil Flushing & Filtration

High velocity flushing and oil flushing remove debris, mill scale, weld slag, construction contamination, particulate, and moisture from piping and lubrication systems before equipment is placed into service — critical for rotating equipment, hydraulic systems, lube oil systems, turbines, compressors, and process support systems where cleanliness directly affects reliability.

Where It Applies

Industrial & Municipal Applications

Industrial / Oilfield Applications

Primus sets up flushing loops using temporary pumps, reservoirs, and filters, and manages heat, velocity, and turbulence to reach the cleanliness target for the system. Particle counts, filter changes, and sample records are tracked throughout so acceptance can be documented with confidence. This service is commonly tied to new construction, module fabrication, commissioning, compressor station work, facility expansions, shutdowns, and reliability programs across Alberta industrial sites.

Typical Applications

  • Pre-commissioning of lube oil and hydraulic systems
  • Compressor and turbine support
  • Oil flushing after maintenance
  • Flushing after fabrication
  • Particulate removal
  • System cleanliness verification
  • Reliability improvement programs
