History
EPT and Clean Oil were founded in 1995 by Peter Dufresne Sr., Peter T. Dufresne Jr. and Sean Dufresne with the goal of providing solutions to oil contamination problems in industrial processes. The initial innovation was the creation of an ion exchange resin, which provided a more effective method to recondition industrial lubricants through removal of acid and soluble contaminants (Ion Charge Bonding, ICB ). Additional products include Electrostatic Contamination Removal (ECR) units that remove insoluble contaminants and Total Moisture Removal (TMR) systems to remove water from industrial lubricants.

Clean Oil provides services for varnish mitigation, phosphate ester fluid maintenance, high velocity flushing and condition testing and monitoring services.
