CONT

An independent system operator(ISO) is the transmission operator of, typically, a large-area transmission system owned by more than one transmission owner and financially independent of all owners, producers, buyers, transmitters, loads, and other participants. The purpose is to permit all producers, buyers(loads and intermediaries), and other users to use the transmission system on an equal basis. That is, any generator that wants to connect to the transmission system, whether or not associated with the transmission owner, is treated in the same way. Anyone who wants to schedule use of the transmission system(such as a party that wishes to schedule a flow across a system to be delivered remotely) must be permitted to do so on an equal basis with the loads served by that transmission owner.

Oil filtration systems are one of the most effective means of controlling the contamination generated in a mechanical pump. The external oil filtration system, is an independent free-standing unit that usually consists of a transfer pump and motor combination, one or more stages of filtration, a sight glass to monitor the condition of the fluid, a pressure gauge to determine the element change point, and hoses equipped with dripless quick disconnects to attach the system to the mechanical pump. In addition, the system may have a means of quickly removing the filter housings, enabling the operator to effect an element change under a fume hood, or the system may be of a size that the entire system may be disconnected from the pump and transported to the fume hood.
