CJC® Water Removal Units

CJC® Water Removal Units are designed to remove water from oil in systems where moisture contamination threatens reliability, insulation performance, and component lifetime. By continuously removing dissolved, emulsified, and free water, these units restore oil quality, protect critical equipment, and ensure stable operation in demanding industrial environments

Why You Need to Remove Water from Oil

Water contamination is one of the most damaging threats to oil systems. Even small amounts of water reduce lubrication performance, accelerate oxidation, promote corrosion, and increase the risk of component failure.

In applications with continuous or unavoidable moisture ingress, such as marine systems, turbines, hydraulics, and industrial lubrication systems - particle filtration alone is not enough. To maintain oil performance and system reliability, it is essential to remove water from oil continuously.

CJC® Water Removal Units provide offline dehydration that keeps oil dry, stable, and fit for long-term use.

How CJC® Technology Removes Water from Oil

CJC® Water Removal Units use controlled dehydration to remove water from oil without additives or chemical treatment.

The technology removes:

Dissolved water

Emulsified water

Free water

Moisture introduced through condensation or ingress

By gently heating the oil and controlling the dehydration process, water is extracted while preserving oil integrity and additive performance.


Key advantages:

  • Effective even in high-viscosity oils
  • Stable performance during continuous operation
  • Proven solution to remove water from oil in critical systems

CJC® Water Removal Unit Models

CJC® Water Removal Units are available in multiple configurations to match system size, oil volume, and degree of water contamination.
