I see no one has answered up as of yet, so I suspect this is not a system anyone has direct information on. Perhpas you could contact the company and ask for references (although, that's kind of like asking the fox how things are going in the hen-house ...)
Large axial flow media based filters? Kind of like ultra big TP filters, essentially, are they not?
I'm sure they would work as well as many other filters.
You mention trying "a few units" as if you're going to put them on a fleet? What size of equipment are these going on? Big engines; small engines; transmissions; hydraulic systems?
Before I made this decision, if I were you, I'd have to see the figures run out over a projected cost structe. See where the ROI is contrased to competing products.
There are some bypass filter systems that are more targeted to smaller sump and/or smaller apps, such as Amsoil, FS, MotorGuard, etc. Those do a fine job, but are not sized as large as some of the other options. Smaller filter elements do every bit as good a job, but they make for frequent FCIs, which is kind of counter-intuitive for "fleet" operaitons. Other products such as this system, Gulf Coast, OPS and others are size much larger for bigger applications.
Almost any decently designed/produced bypass filter system will do a good job of cleaning oil. The devil is in the details though; you must pick a system that is sized for your application and can be made to pay you back when looking at:
ability to install system (can it fit where you need it to fit?)
initial costs amoritized over lifecycle
operational costs like replacement elements
downtime for service needs
ease of service
availability of replacement parts and elements
etc.
Keep us up to speed on your choice, and post those UOAs!
