Abstract: This paper introduces the adsorption mechanism of high polar molecule sorbents. The results from the on-site and laboratory experiments of turbine oil regeneration conducted in a power plant adopting the high polar molecule sorbent show that the color of the regenerated turbine oil turns lighter, and it looks transparent and sludge free. Moreover, the levels of demulsification and acid value are restored to the levels of fresh oil with improvement in oxidation stability. Therefore, it will be beneficial for the safe and stable operation of power plants to take advantage of filter elements made of high polar molecule sorbents in online turbine oil regeneration process.

Key words: strong polar molecule sorbent, turbine oil, regeneration, sludge, demulsibility, acid value, rotary oxygen bomb value
