Cleanliness audit
Contamination in process, hydraulic, and lubrication fluids can be uncovered during a cleanliness audit. Contaminants are collected and identified to determine their origin. Recommendations are then made for corrective action that can improve your processes and increase the reliability of your equipment.
The presence of built-in particulate contamination on these high-performance components can result in abrasive wear of dynamic surfaces and erosion of metering surfaces and jamming in valves. This is exacerbated at higher temperatures, pressures, and cycle rates. The degradation of working clearances can have a very significant impact on component reliability and performance.
Pall has decades of experience and technical leadership in both dynamic clearance protection and related contaminant diagnosis/evaluation. Our cleanliness audit can help ensure that your high performance equipment and components remain durable and reliable.

Supply contracts—VAIS
Pall has developed an enhanced integrated supply program, known as Value Added Integrated Supply (VAIS), which provides cost benefit beyond that offered by traditional integrated supply programs. Our partnerships within the filtration industry make this possible, allowing us to supply 100% of your filtration and separation needs at cost-effective pricing. VAIS can be implemented for a process or site/multisite operation.
The results of this program are reductions in:
- filter expenditures
- total line items purchased
- number of vendors
- purchase orders processed
The VAIS program considers both the operating costs and the unit cost and works with you to provide a compelling return on investment.
