The oil used in power plant steam turbines must be extraordinarily clean, often filtered to remove particles smaller than a human red blood cell. Even microscopic contamination can cause catastrophic damage when turbine blades spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. A single grain of dust in turbine oil can act like sandpaper, gradually wearing away precision components worth millions of dollars. Some power plants circulate turbine oil through filtration systems continuously, cleaning it thousands of times throughout its service life.
