Contamination Fact

 Precaution Is Better Than Cure!


In the Lubrication field, Contaminants are the bad elements that need to be prevented and removed as when detected. Neglecting the need for Purifications often leads to Premature Failure and Mechanical Breakdowns. This shoots up the cost of maintenance and repair of Equipment.

While comparing, the Cost of Filtration is approximately 1/10th of the Cost of Repairs. Purification not only turns Lubricant fit for Re-Use but also saves a large portion spent on Maintenance and Repair of Equipment.

Lubrication Reliability practices are essential for smooth and uninterrupted Operation and Production.

Contamination in Lubricants is a Bane for Equipment !!



Many Lubrication Challenges occur due to various forms of Contamination, resulting in Mechanical Failure and Breakdowns.

Design your Contamination Control Strategies in these 3 Easy Steps!

> Detection

> Prevention

> Exclusion

By following these simple steps we can make sure that our Equipment stays Contamination free.

Why Dispose of When You Can Reuse!


Lubricants can not be re-used and should be replaced is a Myth. Today with advanced technology and Lubrication Reliability practices, Lubricants can be re-used saving a large chunk of money that is spent on replacing them.

With the right lubricants reconditioning practices used for different contamination challenges, Lubricants are made fit and as good as new for the Equipment.

Incomplete knowledge of lubrication myths and facts can seriously affect equipment's performance.

Still Wondering "Why Should We Perform Oil Analysis Regularly?" We'll tell you WHY!


Oil Analysis is often skipped or performed in an unscheduled manner which affects the machine's performance and life. It also invokes Lubrication related Challenges that can be easily avoided with scheduled analysis.

Below are some reasons Why scheduled Oil Analysis is Important:

1) Keeping a check on the lubricant's condition.

2) Knowing What type and How much Contaminants are present, makes reclamation easier.

3) Healthy Lubricant = Healthy Machine.

4) Lubricants have an Expiry Date too!

5) Knowledge of Wear Particles in your Equipment helps in maintenance planning.

Control System Of Turbine - Failure & Maintenance

Image
Control System The turbine control system describes the control over the opening of control valves corresponding to demand signals, and steam flows into the turbine with the help of a governing system that facilitates the operation of the turbo set in an interconnected grid system. Governing system is responsible for various function such as speed & load control functions, the start-up/shut-down controls, the over-speed control, turbine stress calculation, to control the initial run-up and synchronization of the Unit, to assists in matching the power generated to that demanded by responding to system frequency changes, to regulate the steam control valves position (and hence the load generated)in response to signal from the operator or from the load dispatch Centre, to restrict the speed rise within acceptable limits should the unit get disconnected (islanding) from the lgridoad and some protective trip functions. With continuous research and developments in modern turbine technolo

Reconditioning of EH Oil

Image
A 1200 MW coal-fired thermal power plant using Into-Chinese Turbine EHC System in Southern India. The Plant was struggling with the rapid increase in TAN values in the EH oil of the governing system of the turbine. Also, the moisture content was more than permissible limits. Degradation of the oil was due to contamination ingression into the system resulting in by-product formation. Minimac’s EH oil reconditioning system “ MLC LVDH TRIX 20 ” proved to be the savior and an unexpected shutdown of the turbine worth ₹1.05 Cr per day was saved . PROBLEMS A rapid increase in the Total Acid Number (TAN) could degrade the EH oil and lead to the possibilities of failure of servo valve, hunting, power generation loss, unplanned shutdown, etc. Oil Analysis was done to check the properties of EH oil like Moisture, NAS value, Total Acid Number. SOLUTIONS Installation of Minimac’s EH Oil Reconditioning System “ MLC LVDH TRIX 20 ” is comprehensively designed with 4 major technologies to: Remove solid

Minimac Technology

Image
 The secret recipe of the growth story at Minimac Syste ms has been its capability to drive technological advancement in the field of contamination control for lubrication reliability. Research and development on technology and products have always been the key reason to keep the Minimac products a step ahead of its competitors in the market. Technological development has been one of the core competencies which Minimac possesses, thereby ensuring a definite competitive advantage. Contaminations in lubricants are of various types and characteristics depending on the lubricant, equipment application, ambient conditions, age of equipment, etc. In order to control, separate or eliminate the contamination, there are multiple techniques. Each technique has pros and cons and hence there is no single technology that can be considered universally better than others. ​ Minimac Systems over the years has become equipped with almost all the technologies which are required for contaminat
