Mobile oil filtration services for off-spec oil recovery

Mobile oil filtration without operational delays

Mobile oil filtration services allow contaminated oil to be treated directly where the product is stored. AQ MarTest provides on-site oil recovery at terminals, refineries, tank farms and marine operations worldwide using certified mobile filtration systems.

This eliminates unnecessary transport, reduces downtime and prevents additional storage or disposal costs. For operators managing off-spec oil cargo, mobile oil filtration is often the fastest and most cost-effective recovery solution.

The objective is simple: restore product quality while maintaining operational continuity.

Common causes of oil contamination

Oil products can move off specification during storage, transfer or transport. Common causes include:

  • water ingress
  • suspended solids
  • dissolved iron
  • oxidation
  • chloride contamination
  • sulphur components
  • additive instability
  • hydraulic oil cross-contamination
  • microbiological contamination

These issues can directly affect product stability, cleanliness and commercial usability.

Rapid intervention is critical to prevent further degradation.

Mobile filtration systems used by AQ MarTest

High-Capacity Particle Filters

Particle filtration removes visible and microscopic contamination and supports ISO cleanliness restoration. Systems operate with high flow rates and filtration precision down to 0.5 microns.

Chemical Adsorber Systems

Adsorber units remove dissolved contamination and improve product stability. These systems are used for chlorides, oxidation by-products, dissolved metals and other dissolved impurities.

Water Separation Systems

Coalescing filtration removes free and emulsified water from oil products where moisture control is essential for final specification compliance.

This combination provides a complete mobile oil treatment solution.

In-tank oil recovery

AQ MarTest frequently performs in-tank recirculation for mobile oil filtration projects. This means the oil can be treated inside the original storage tank without transfer to another location.

This reduces handling risks and keeps product losses typically below 0.1%.

For large-volume inventories, in-tank recovery significantly improves efficiency and lowers operational cost.

Suitable ppplications for mobile oil filtration

Typical applications include:

  • fuel oil recovery
  • diesel and gasoil treatment
  • industrial oil purification
  • contaminated storage tank inventories
  • marine fuel correction
  • blending preparation
  • pre-export specification recovery

Each project is supported by laboratory assessment to determine the most effective treatment method before field deployment.

Certified mobile oil filtration worldwide

All projects are executed under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and VCA-P standards. This guarantees safe and compliant operations across industrial and petrochemical environments.

AQ MarTest combines certified equipment, technical expertise and global field response into one complete mobile oil filtration service.

When valuable oil products move off specification, fast technical recovery is the priority.
