Boiler maintenance

 The importance of effective maintenance can never be overlooked as it plays a major role in the effectiveness of lean manufacturing. In simple words maintenance is like a health care program for machines and as well for their parts.


Maintenance of equipment can not be avoided in any condition as avoiding it can cause major damage to the equipment and may stop the production.


Let’s discuss in detail the importance of maintenance.


Boiler  Maintenance, Made Easy!


Boiler acts as the lungs as it provides steam to the turbine. It is also called a steam generator as it converts coal and water into steam.



As the boiler is used to convert coal and water into steam, this process attracts a lot of solid and moisture contamination to the oil tank.


Contamination in Oil is nothing less than a disease in our body. It can lead to mechanical breakdowns and shoot up the maintenance and repair cost.


Power plants in India face these problems very frequently which hinders production and overall efficiency .

Fighting these contaminations are very important hence we say Clean Oil, Healthy Machines! Our MLC FS-x Series and MLC LVDH-x Series help you fight these contaminations and keep your Oil healthy.

Of the power plant in western India. 


Helping in Power Plant Maintenance!


A high Operation and maintenance cost is incurred while producing power through different sources. Lubrication reliability and Contamination Control play an important role in maintaining Rotary and Hydraulic equipment in PowerPlants.



As you know Oil can be filtered and reused, adoption of activities such as Condition Monitoring and Oil Purification can lower the cost spend on replacing Oil every time it gets contaminated.


Apart from Filtration, PowerPlants can also save the cost of breakdowns and repairs by Flushing and Cleaning the systems and Inline Pipes that connect Oil tanks to Equipment at least once a year. Flushing and cleaning are essential activities which are often skipped.


Minimac Provides Annual Maintenance Services for Lubrication Reliability and Contamination Control in PowerPlants. We have visited and helped several PowerPlants in minimizing their cost.


Find out how Minimac EH oil reconditioning system “MLC LVDH TRIX 20” acted as a savior for one of the power plants in northern India.

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 ...

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 c...
