Some results are on our web site.
Essentially much longer oil life, less machine maintenance lower cots, better results.
Why do you filter oil in an automobile, for example?
Not sure what purifying means exactly but the definition above looks pretty good.

RE: Oil purifier
That's an excellent question. Auto engine oil systems provide a great example of where an oil "purifier" would be beneficial, but is not practical due to higher cost. Auto engine oil filters are simply particulate filters, and the level of particulate filtration they use is determined by the maximum particle size that can safely pass through the hydrodynamic oil film contacts in the engine bearings. Using too fine a filtration level can result in an oversized filter element, and one that must be replaced too often.
Moisture and entrained gases in the oil are concerns with auto engine lube systems, but these problems are addressed with anti-foaming and emulsifier additives in the oil. The oil additives are much less effective at addressing the problems than a purifier would be, but using oil additives is also far less expensive.
