Oil Purification Systems

 Oil Purification Systems is a family of equipment which are used for purification, reconditioning, cleaning or reclaiming of oils. Many buyers use terms like oil centrifuge, oil filtration, LVDH system or ELC machine; however, what they intend to buy is Oil Purification System.

​

Under the category of Oil Purification Systems, Minimac Systems offers standard as well as custom-built products. Product selection is carried out based on application of the requirement and the appropriate technology for cost efficient solution to the problem of contamination in lubricating oils.

​

We believe that no single technique is universally versatile and hence the contamination problem of lubrication oils must be addressed on a case-to-case basis.

  • FRF Conditioning System


This system works on TAN reduction by ion exchange and nitrogen blanketing technologies.


Description:


Minimac FRF Conditioning System is a four stage conditioner equipment used for the application of synthetic fluids like fire resistant fluid, electro hydraulic oil, other lubricants & hydraulic fluids.

​

This system is helpful in reducing 3 types of contaminants from lubricating and hydraulic systems. The system is beneficial in reducing the total acid number (TAN) from higher levels to within acceptable levels, maintaining solid contaminants and water contamination in the oil within acceptable limits. The system comprises nitrogen blanketing arrangement to ensure elimination of any contamination ingress into the oil from tank header space.

​

The advent of this technology minimises the possibility of moisture ingress in lubrication & hydraulic system tanks and at the same time it also helps in reduction of the same if it has risen due to certain reasons. It is advised to use these machines on a regular basis 24x7 so that the moisture contamination in oil is always within acceptable limits.

​

Typically, the results achieved/obtained using this system are as follows:

​

  • TAN value ≤ 0.15 mgKOH/gm

  • Solid contaminants ≤ NAS 5

  • Moisture contamination < 500 ppm

  • All other properties well within desired limits


Applications:

  • Power plants – coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, wind, biomass

  • Steel & rolling mills

  • Cement mills & RMCs

  • Non-ferrous mineral plants – Al/Zn/Pb, etc.

  • Coal & metal mines

  • Pulp & paper plants

  • Automobile manufacturing

  • Pressing, stamping, forging & foundry



Types of oil which can be cleaned:

  • Electro hydraulic oil in the control system of the turbine

  • Lube oil

  • Hydraulic oil

  • Gear oil

  • Coalescer Separator System


CSP Series:

This system works on liquid-liquid coalescing. The system comes with low power consumption equipment with the least maintenance having multiple advantages over its alternate technology of centrifugal oil purification.


Description:

Lube and hydraulic systems are prone to heavy water contamination due to cross-contamination of water from heat exchangers. Water or steam chambers in case of turbines and atmospheric moisture ingress especially in humid zones of working. Minimac comes with this unique technology which is capable of removing heavy water contamination & solid contamination by a single system.

​

The equipment works on coalescence separation techniques due to different densities of water and oil. The system is capable of removing water contamination from more than 5% to less than 100 ppm (0.01%) in a short time. The system is equipped with micron level filters which can ensure solid contamination removal up to NAS 5 (ISO 15/12).


Applications:

  • Power plants – coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, wind, biomass

  • Steel & rolling mills

  • Cement mills & RMCs

  • Non-ferrous mineral plants – Al/Zn/Pb etc.

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...

Storage Management of Oil Products and its Importance.

Image
Product storage is an important criterion for any segment of products. It plays a vital role in the longevity of the products, every product in any form has a certain life period and this life period forms the baseline of the product. Coming to the lubricating oil industry, product life period plays an important role in the smooth running of the machinery and the plant. As these oils play a very important role in the day to day functioning of critical machinery, so if not maintained properly these can lead to the breakdown of machinery thereby leading to a shutdown of the plant which leads to the incurrence of huge loss. Therefore it is very important that these oils should be used well in advance before their life period expires. We can hereby pen down certain prerequisite conditions for storage of lubricants: 1.  Pre usage Inspection : It is mandatory to verify their performance properties & conditions with oil analysis for the oils that have been kept for ...
