Stage Wise Mechanical Filtration

 There is not a single technology or system that can help resolve all the contamination problems in the lubricants. We believe that one must study and understand the severity of contamination and take action accordingly.


We offer equipment and services that are powered by various advanced technologies. 

Stage wise mechanical filtration is one of them which has helped many power plants overcome oil contamination issues. Not only it helped save maintenance cost but also helped them from premature machine breakdown.


Let’s get familiar with this technology and the equipment that works on the basis of this technology.


High-efficiency filters are used in reducing solid contamination. Whenever an oil batch is cleaned, there would be particles of various sizes.



The first stage is the Largest Micron Rating i.e 50 microns or 25 microns. The second stage could be a Medium-Sized Micron rating maybe 10 or 16 or 20 Micron and the final one, Polishing Filter Stage could be 6,3 or 1 micron.


The decision of micron rating depends on the kind of oil, level of dirt present in the oil, and the application where this equipment is used.


The efficiency of these filters ensures faster oil cleaning. It's very essential to select the Micron ratings in an appropriate manner and use the equipment as per the instructions of the manufacturer. Avoiding it might result in a drastic increment of filter consumption.

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

 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
