Patent number: 12616925Abstract: An oil purification filter for purifying a contaminated oil includes a filter body having a first portion and a second portion, where at least the first portion is impregnated with a separation aid. The separation aid is substantially insoluble in the contaminated oil because of its polar properties, and the separation aid is configured to adsorb/absorb contaminating solids or dissolved impurities in the contaminated oil by chemical interactions. The filter body may comprise one or more sheets of cellulose fibers.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 5, 2026Assignee: SKF RECONDOIL ABInventors: Tomas Oestberg, Karl Enquist, Thomas Persson
