Introduction - What does Filtek Offer?

As the manager of thousands of Generators, Telco Companies should consider the “overlooked issue” of Genset Oil Life Cycle, and how to achieve optimum availability the of your Generators for the Least Whole of Life Cost.

1. The Filtek oil and fuel filtration 1,000 hour extended oil and filter solution will enable Telco Companies to save +50% of service and maintenance OPEX.

2. Reduce fuel consumption by minimum of 5% . 3. Significant reduction of generator maintenance including

fuel injection system.4. No excess oil is used.5. Generator service life is extended by up to 100%. 6. Earn Carbon Credits from the +75% reduction of used oil

Why service your generator every 250hrs?

Except under very unusual circumstances, Oil does not wear out, break down or otherwise deteriorate to such an extent that it needs to be replaced. What happens is that it becomes contaminated with water, acids, carbon particulate, sludge and fuel so it can no longer provide the desired degree of protection for engine components.” Ref: Mobil Bulletin 863

The ISSUE is that standard spin-on and centrifugal oil and fuel filters can not remove water in emulsion that increase oil oxidation x 10 nor can they filter to absolute 3 micron.

What is Filtek?The Filtek System consist of two Filter Canisters, each housing one Filter Element:– An Oil Filter, and– A Fuel Filter

Implementing a Filtek Oil Filter will extend the oil drain service interval dramatically from 250 hours to 1,000 hours.Implementing a ProtxL Fuel Filter will break the engine oil acid cycle and provide a guaranteed immediate minimum 5% fuel savings.

Filtek Oil Filter Technology

Filtek oil filtration filters contamination to ISO 16/14/12 cleanliness standard and Filtek fuel filtration filters 100% of moisture in emulsion to break the engine oil acid cycle. Hence the engine oil additive package including the TBN is conserved.

This extremely high filtration standard allows Telco Companies the ability to run the engine longer hours before the next oil change, and:• Produce spectacular improvement in the

life and availability of the Genset• With service and maintenance OPEX

savings of +50%, or even as high as 65%!

Filtek Fuel Filter Technology

The Filtek Fuel filter removes contaminants in the fuel to a far higher standard than existing installed OEM fuel filters. This better ProtxL fuel filtration gives Telco Companies the ability to:• Maintain new engine emission standards

for significantly longer.• Simultaneously improve fuel economy by

5% - 13%.• Dramatically reduce repairs, including on

fuel pumps and injectors.• Increased machine availability and extend

life of all hydraulic components, pumps, servo-valves and other parts

Filtek Additional Partnership BenefitsA Filtek installation in Telco Companies Network would certainly:• Provide the highest possible return on

Genset Capex investment.• Help to meet new environmental

requirements with +75% less oil disposal (refer Telco Companies Environmental and Social Management Plan)

• Green the American Tower corporate profile and increase profitability with Carbon credits.

Savings Calculation

Filtek has developed an extensive model to calculate the potential OPEX savings which may be achieved.

There are several factors that could influence actual savings.

This Excel model is available for Telco Companies management for its own verification.

Practical Considerations

Filtek installation and maintenance is straight forward:• Training will be provided for free• ProtxL would engage local country

staff for installations.• ProtxL is a by-pass and “add-on”

system and therefore does not affect the warranty by the Engine manufacturer.Our sincere goal is to become a close partner

to Telco Companies ,to help assist in its drive for its successful Africa expansion.
