Flushing systems and services

Even during normal operation, modern hydraulic systems naturally generate particle contamination. Without effective flushing, these contaminants can compromise efficiency, accelerate wear and ultimately increase the risk of system failure. To safeguard performance, newly manufactured systems are typically flushed before commissioning, ensuring both the fluid and the entire hydraulic circuit meet specification. This proactive approach significantly reduces early‑life failures and protects against warranty issues.

Proserv’s high‑velocity flushing equipment is engineered to deliver exceptional cleanliness levels. Our systems drive fluid through precision filtration units designed to capture even the smallest particulates, providing a cleaner, safer and more reliable hydraulic system from day one.

Proserv offers a versatile range of flushing and hydraulic cleaning systems suitable for offshore and onshore applications. Designed and built to meet international cleanliness standards, our rigs deliver flow rates from 5 to 400 litres per minute and are compatible with standard mineral‑based hydraulic fluids. Specialised units are also available for synthetic and water‑based fluids.

For hazardous environments, we supply fully certified ATEX Zone 1 units, alongside standard industrial models, ensuring the right equipment is available for every operational setting.

To verify hydraulic fluid and system cleanliness, Proserv provides AS4059 and NAS 1638‑compliant automatic particle counters. These devices offer instant, accurate measurement of particulate levels in a single fluid sample, detecting particles between 5 and 100 microns. Ideal for both mineral and synthetic fluids, they deliver the assurance required for critical operations where fluid quality directly impacts safety and performance.

Proserv can manage the cleanliness of existing hydraulic systems, recently installed assets or newly manufactured equipment. Alternatively, we offer rental solutions for clients wishing to carry out flushing activities themselves, supported by our high‑quality, field‑proven equipment.
