It has been seen that 80% of premature machine failure is due to lube oil contamination. Many people believe that replacing contaminated oil with new oil can help solve machine failure. But is that completely true?
As per international standards like NAS/ISO, new oil is not completely clean. Some of the main reasons behind that could be poor storage practices or lubrication packaging.
If you remove the contaminated oil from the system, impurities still remain in the system until they are flushed. Introducing new oil in the system without cleaning the system leads to contamination of the new oil leading to no change in the premature breakdown situation.
Instead of oil change why not reuse? If the oil is filtered and reused, then there will be no need to change or replace the oil for the next couple of years. Not only will it increase the life of oil but will also decrease the cost of operation and maintenance.
By studying your pain areas and maintenance needs, we offer the best solution accordingly. Let’s take a glance at industries where we cater our offerings.
Oil and Gas Sector -
Our range of products and services can be applied to the upstream, midstream, and downstream markets and are used onshore and offshore in almost every oil and gas producing area of the world.
The 3 different sectors of oil and gas sectors are as follows -
1. Upstream Filtration: The upstream part of the oil and gas business comprises production facilities. All offshore and onshore rigs where crude oil, well fluid, or gas is being pumped out of the earth and brought to the surface. Here there are multiple equipments mounted on the rig itself, in order to maintain the lubrication and hydraulic system of the equipment, Minimac’s flushing systems are used.
2. Midstream Filtration: It is essential for the removal of solid contaminants prior to pipeline transportation. Timely execution of Oil Flushing and Chemical Cleaning leads to the removal of combustible and corrosive substances from pipelines and other industrial machines.
Our flushing and filtration technologies deliver a complete solution that enhances the overall performance with lower operating costs.
Check out our video to know more about our flushing skids.
3. Downstream Filtration: Refineries and petrochemical plants. Refineries have rotary equipment where lubrication plays an important part and as per API 614 standard (ISO 4406) clearly states that oil cleanliness should be up to a level of ISO 16/14/12 and hence the users of oil & gas must comply with this standard. The Petrochemical industry has a wide variety of hydraulic and lubrication systems. Hydraulic fluid should be physically clean, as determined by the number and size of particles suspended in the oil (refer to ISO 4406 cleanliness codes for details). Foreign matter can contaminate the system and incur huge losses not only in terms of finances but also in productivity and efficiency of the equipment affecting the overall production capacity negatively.
Power Generation Sector -
Our products are used in plants that generate power from fossil, nuclear, and renewable sources to increase their efficiency. Equipment such as Low Vacuum Dehydration System, Electrostatic Lube Cleaner, and Coalescer Separator System maintains clean oil and fluids consistently, reliably, and economically. We provide oil purification systems, filters, skids, and testing equipment to maintain oil in hydraulic systems, lubrication systems, pulverizers, steam turbines, power transformers, and turbine control systems, and other power generation equipment.
Maintaining power plant efficiency can be difficult; operating conditions for hydraulics and other fluid systems in power stations are harsh. Contamination, dust, and moisture in pulverizers have a serious negative impact on gear oil. Oil undergoes rapid oxidation and induces corrosion of bearings due to water and contamination. The insulation efficiency of transformer oil is reduced due to water and gases present in it.
Not only do we help maintain the efficiency of power plants but also help you accelerate machine reliability efficiency, and power output while reducing the power outage occurrence and maintenance cost.
A common challenge of how to minimize maintenance costs & maximize performance while improving the longevity of components is solved by the products based on advanced technologies.
