Minimize water content, particle content and oxidation levels — in one process
Desorber-Filter-Unit D30CU from CJC®: Your solution for the separation of oil-water emulsions and oil recovery
Desorber-Filter-Unit D30CU
The D30CU desorber filter unit quickly and efficiently reduces the water content in your oils and fluids to < 0.01% while minimizing the content of particles and oil degradation products (acids, sludge, varnish). Whether hydraulic oil, gear oil, lubricating oil, machining oil, leakage oil or quenching oil, and whether mineral oil or synthetic fluid, the desorber filter unit D30CU separates even stable oil-water emulsions with a water content of 70% and enables the complete recovery of the oil. The D30CU operates continuously and independently of the operation of the machine in a separate off-line circuit or at a free-standing tank (24/7). The separation of oil-water emulsions is based on the principle of desorption. It occurs independently of viscosity and air content in the oil and has no impact on the additive package.
How you benefit from installing a CJC® D30CU
- Added safety due to fewer unplanned downtimes and failures
- Increased system availability, reliability and operational safety
- Longer service life of lubricants, components and machines
- Less component replacement, maintenance and service assignments
- Lower operating costs and accelerated return on investment
- More sustainability and resource protection
After solids, water is the second most common cause of failures and malfunctions in lubricating oil and hydraulic systems. Your solution: CJC® Desorber
Application areas & installation example — Desorber-Filter-Unit D30CU
Desorber:
The pump in the oil inlet sucks in the oil. In the desorber chamber, the warm, moist oil meets a counterflow of cold, dry air. The oil heats the cold air, which allows it to absorb a lot of moisture (system pressure constantly low < 2 bar). In a subsequent process, the warm, moist air cools down, and the water condenses again.
Fine filter system:
After the desorption process, the fluid flow passes through the filter with the integrated fine and depth filter insert. Water but also particles in the oil accelerate the degradation of base oil and additives. The filter removes both particles and already formed reaction products (acids, sludge, varnish).

That say our customers
“I am completely satisfied with the investment. Oil drying takes place very quickly and without machine downtime. Thus, we keep the production stable, have time to look for the failure cause, avoid the oil change and waste oil disposal, and maintain the oil quality.”
“The Desorber works excellently in this application. I was impressed by the results and surprised how efficiently the Desorber dewatered the oil. The Desorber is easy to operate and is low-maintenance.”
“The CJC® Desorber allows us to operate the tug boat until the regular inspection in the dry dock in 6 months. The oil analysis results speak for themselves and substantiate the efficiency of the Desorber.”
“It was only with the Desorber that the gear oil could finally be dried satisfactorily. Without CJC®, we would have had to change the 1,500 litres of gear oil soon. By avoiding the oil change, we were able to save EUR 4,890 (EUR 3.26/litre) – an important contribution not only in terms of budget but also in terms of resource savings. The excellent results convinced us, so we decided to purchase two identical Desorbers for our tug boats, “Bugsier 5” and “Bugsier 6”.
“The Desorber is ideal for such operations because it works continuously while the vessel is at sea. The results are very satisfactory. The Desorber works very well and will further reduce the water content.”
