Dry Inert Gas Blanketing

 Oil degradation is a basic term that is used to describe the destructive mechanisms that cause physical and chemical changes to fluid while they are in service. Oil degradation is considered the main factor for reducing the service life of the working fluid.


Oil oxidation happens when the oxygen attacks the fluid eventually which degrades the quality of the oil. If you overlook the oil oxidation issue it can cause - formation of sludge, increase in viscosity & additive depletion.


Let's explore our dry inert gas blanketing technology which can help overcome the above-mentioned problems.




Humidity is the Biggest Concern for OIL OXIDATION and DEGRADATION!


It has been seen that the header space of oil tanks especially in the coastal areas is full of humid air. Having an Inert gas ensures the absence of oxygen which would be the key element for Oxidation and Oil Degradation.


Hence, the technology Nitrogen Blanketing enables us to create a dry environment in the header space of these tanks.


Our FRF Conditioning System has enabled a number of Governing Systems, Lube Oil Systems in the coastal regions to reduce the problems of Oil Oxidation and Degradation.


Subscribe to our mailing list to know more about this technology and how it helped many companies overcome the oil degradation problem.






Minimac's FRF Conditioning System is beneficial in reducing Total Acid Number (TAN) from higher levels to within acceptable levels maintaining solid and water contamination in the oil as per ISO standards. The system comprises a Nitrogen Blanketing arrangement to ensure the elimination of any contamination ingress into the oil from tank header space.


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 are well within desired limits

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

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

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 a long pe
