Introduction - What does Filtek Offer?
As the manager of thousands of Generators, Telco Companies
should consider the “overlooked issue” of Genset Oil Life
Cycle, and how to achieve optimum availability the of your
Generators for the Least Whole of Life Cost.
1. The Filtek oil and fuel filtration 1,000 hour extended oil
and filter solution will enable Telco Companies to save
+50% of service and maintenance OPEX.
2. Reduce fuel consumption by minimum of 5% .
3. Significant reduction of generator maintenance including
fuel injection system.
4. No excess oil is used.
5. Generator service life is extended by up to 100%.
6. Earn Carbon Credits from the +75% reduction of used oil
Why service your generator every 250hrs?
Except under very unusual circumstances,
Oil does not wear out, break down or
otherwise deteriorate to such an extent
that it needs to be replaced. What
happens is that it becomes contaminated
with water, acids, carbon particulate,
sludge and fuel so it can no longer provide
the desired degree of protection for
engine components.”
Ref: Mobil Bulletin 863

Tower Sites
The ISSUE is that standard spin-on and
centrifugal oil and fuel filters can not
remove water in emulsion that increase
oil oxidation x 10 nor can they filter to
absolute 3 micron.
What is Filtek?
The Filtek System consist of two Filter
Canisters, each housing one Filter
Element:
– An Oil Filter, and
– A Fuel Filter
Implementing a Filtek Oil Filter will
extend the oil drain service interval
dramatically from 250 hours to 1,000
hours.
Implementing a ProtxL Fuel Filter will
break the engine oil acid cycle and
provide a guaranteed immediate
minimum 5% fuel savings.
Filtek Oil Filter Technology
Filtek oil filtration filters contamination to ISO
16/14/12 cleanliness standard and Filtek fuel
filtration filters 100% of moisture in emulsion
to break the engine oil acid cycle. Hence the
engine oil additive package including the TBN
is conserved.

This extremely high filtration standard allows
Telco Companies the ability to run the engine
longer hours before the next oil change, and:
• Produce spectacular improvement in the
life and availability of the Genset
• With service and maintenance OPEX
savings of +50%, or even as high as 65%!
Filtek Fuel Filter Technology
The Filtek Fuel filter removes contaminants
in the fuel to a far higher standard than
existing installed OEM fuel filters. This
better ProtxL fuel filtration gives Telco
Companies the ability to:
• Maintain new engine emission standards
for significantly longer.
• Simultaneously improve fuel economy by
5% - 13%.
• Dramatically reduce repairs, including on
fuel pumps and injectors.
• Increased machine availability and
extend life of all hydraulic components,
pumps, servo-valves and other parts

Filtek Additional Partnership Benefits
A Filtek installation in Telco Companies
Network would certainly:
• Provide the highest possible return on
Genset Capex investment.
• Help to meet new environmental
requirements with +75% less oil
disposal (refer Telco Companies
Environmental and Social
Management Plan)

• Green the American Tower corporate
profile and increase profitability with
Carbon credits.
Over 50% of all telecom CO2 emissions are from
infrastructure

Savings Calculation
Filtek has developed an
extensive model to calculate
the potential OPEX savings
which may be achieved.
There are several factors that
could influence actual savings.
This Excel model is available for
Telco Companies management
for its own verification.
Practical Considerations
Filtek installation and maintenance is
straight forward:
• Training will be provided for free
• ProtxL would engage local country
staff for installations.
Our sincere goal is to become a close partner
to Telco Companies ,to help assist in its drive
for its successful Africa expansion.
• ProtxL is a by-pass and “add-on”
system and therefore does not
affect the warranty by the Engine
manufacturer.
