Equipment Issues Caused by Water/Emulsion Contamination, and Their Solutions
Can “just a little water” damage equipment?
Oil is supposed to have a natural property of not mixing with water.
However, field reports consistently highlight issues such as:
- “The oil has turned milky white and foamy.”
- “Valves and cylinders are malfunctioning.”
- “The pump seized up, and the equipment stopped.”
These problems are often caused by invisible levels of water or emulsion (an emulsified state).
Mechanism of Water/Emulsion Contamination
When water mixes into the oil, it triggers hidden deterioration that cannot be visually detected.
Major Problems Caused by Water and Emulsions
Problem
Oil Film Breakdown

Valve malfunction

Rust/Corrosion
Cause
Reduced lubrication performance
Viscosity changes due to emulsions
Metal reactions caused by water
Result
Pump seizure, accelerated wear
Control failure, time lag occurence
Internal damage, increased maintenance costs
Problem
Accelerated Oxidation
Cause
Chemical reaction from water and heat
Result
Significant reduction in oil life
The Key Principle: Focus on "Removing water" rather than "Preventing its entry"
It is practically impossible to completely prevent water contamination. That is why the key is to have a technology that can remove the water quickly once it enters to maintain the oil's performance.
The Fundamental Solution: Moisture Removal and Purification with Miracle Boy
What is Miracle Boy?
It is a high-performance adsorption-type oil purification device that can simultaneously remove water, emulsions, fine particles, and oxidation sludge from oil.

Summary: It's not "The End" just because water got in
The key issue with water contamination in oil is not prevention, but whether it can be removed quickly.
With Miracle Boy, even invisible moisture and emulsions can be eliminated, enabling long-term maintenance of oil performance.
Recommended for Sites Facing These Issues:
- Oil appearance deteriorating due to cloudiness or foaming
- Repeated control malfunctions with unknown causes
- Desire to operate equipment stably without shutdowns
- Dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of water-absorbing filters
Toward Operations with Zero Residual Water
With Miracle Boy, “dry oil” becomes the new standard.
