Setting the Standard in Oil Filtration Keep It Clean! & Keep It Green!
Oil Characteristics Oil does not wear out It oxidizes during the combustion process It becomes contaminated due to high temperatures, soot, silica, acid, sulfur, metal particles, water, fuel and glycol When contaminated, oil can no longer protect, cool and lubricate Additives are depleted Oil can last indefinitely When harmful gaseous, liquid, and solid contaminants are removed and additives are replaced The puradyn System Protects the Oil s Properties by Removing solid contaminants to below one micron Removing liquid and gaseous contaminants Replenishing the base additives in engine oil 2
The puradyn Oil Filtration System Is a multi-stage, highly efficient bypass oil filtration system Works with the oil in an engine or hydraulic system Cleans oil by removing solid, liquid and harmful gaseous contaminants Maintains proper lubricant viscosity Works in conjunction with the OEM full-flow filter Additive package maintains proper TBN levels in engine oil Process for chemical grafting, CGP, maximizes filtration capabilities Safely extends oil drain intervals! 3
The puradyn Filtering Process STEP #3 Oil is filtered through a disposable element with time-release additives to replenish depleted levels in oil, then cascades outside the element to evaporation chamber STEP #2 Patented process for chemical grafting, CGP, increases solid particulate filtration efficiency. Filters solid contaminants down to one micron. STEP #4 Water, fuel and harmful gaseous vapors trapped in oil are evaporated in heated chamber STEP #5 Oil is Gravity fed back to Engine or Hydraulic Tank STEP #1 Oil enters system at a slow rate of approximately 6 8 GPH / 22-40 LPH (engine) 12-16 GPH / 45-60 LPH (hydraulic) 4
Comparison of Engine Oil Condition With puradyn Without puradyn 15000 30000 45000 60000 75000 Miles The X axis refers to the mileage run by the engine, illustrating regular service intervals of 15,000 miles; the Y axis refers to the condition of the engine oil, deteriorating from good to increasing/high wear factor. The red line refers to standard oil change intervals. Immediately after the engine is started after an oil change, the new oil is contaminated by the oil residual oil in the engine. During the period until the next service interval, the oil will become contaminated on an increasing basis, with commensurate engine wear increase, until the next oil change when the cycle repeats itself. The blue line refers to the installation of the puradyn system. As shown above, there will be residual contaminated oil in the engine. During this initial period, larger solid particles are present in the oil and are collected by the puradyn and the full-flow filter, while liquid contaminants are removed, however, there will be slight additive depletion. At one half service interval, both the puradyn replacement filter element and full-flow filter are changed, the oil is topped up to replace lost oil in the puradyn element and, therefore, the additives will be restored to the optimum level. This cycle repeats until the normal full service interval when the puradyn element is changed and, once more, the oil is topped up. From this period forward, the oil if effectively being processed. Over a period of time, the oil will improve in film strength and cling factor to the benefit of the longevity and fuel consumption of the engine. 5
The puradyn Benefits Safely Extends Oil Drain Intervals Up to 90% of new oil purchases Up to 90% decrease in waste oil and disposal Less handling of oil and possible environmental problems Decreased downtime / increased productivity Oil Viscosity Is Properly Maintained Oil Additives are Replenished Equipment Runs on Continuously Clean Oil Significant extension of engine life and efficiency Savings from replacement of worn engine parts Attractive Payback & ROI Usually 6 to 10 Filter Changes 6
Oil Analysis Evaluates the physical and chemical properties found in oil Provides: Understanding of quality of lubricant Effectiveness of the filtration system The operating condition of the equipment Oil analysis should be performed at each puradyn filter change. 7

Water Removal Efficiency 88% to 96%, 8 Hrs. to 20 Hrs. Test Duration Additive release rate validated through laboratory and actual field testing (Actual Rate is Proprietary) US Department of Energy at Idaho National Laboratory for the US Government Final Test shows an average of 89% avoidance in oil changes and 89% oil usage reduction 8
Savings Analysis Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) #660081 Filtration of previously used oil to 5 microns had no significant effect on wear, but filtration to 1 micron had a substantial effect on wear. A fuel consumption study conducted in 2000 at the University of Leeds* demonstrated the benefits associated with cleaner oil on fuel economy. The test noted that the engine s fuel efficiency increased 2%-3% when a bypass filter was used along with a full flow filter. puradyn Filter Filtration effectiveness 0.5 to 1 micron. *Ref: SAE #2000-01-0234 9
Selecting a puradyn System Severe applications and operating environments may require model size adjustment from that shown on the standard sizing chart below. Please contact your local distributor or Puradyn directly if you have any questions about the correct size system for your application or environment. puradyn SYSTEM ENGINE OIL CAPACITY* HYDRAULIC OIL CAPACITY PFT8 Up to 12 quarts -N/A- PFT12 Up to 24 quarts 15 gallons PFT24 Up to 44 quarts 40 gallons PFT40 Up to 100 quarts 100 gallons PFT60 Up to 172 quarts 500 gallons TF-240 Up to 300 quarts 1,000 gallons *Higher quart capacity assumes use of CGP additive. 10
Extended Oil Maintenance Intervals Interval One Half Interval OEM Interval OEM Interval OEM Interval OEM Interval Puradyn Filter Change Change Change Change Change Oil Analysis Sample* Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Full Flow Filter Suggest change interval is every 12 months or 60,000 miles or 1,500 running hours, whichever comes first; 15,000 miles for PFT8 unit and also for recreational vehicle application Oil Change No oil change needed unless recommended by the oil analysis report When the puradyn Bypass Oil Filtration System is installed/retrofitted as an aftermarket item, change both the oil and full flow filter at time of installation. Take a sample from the new oil for baseline oil analysis. Then, at one-half the normal oil drain interval (as shown above), change the puradyn replacement filter and full flow filter and take an oil analysis sample. Thereafter, change the puradyn replacement filter and perform oil analysis at the intervals shown above or, as oil analysis dictates. Continue using oil if lab report specifies oil is up to spec for continued use. *Oil analysis: Oil sample should be taken with engine running. 11
