Industrial Oil Analysis

 One of the most important activities that should be performed on a regular basis at their respective plant location is oil analysis. 

Oil analysis is like visiting your primary care physician for a yearly blood test. The specialist can decide your general wellbeing and prosperity from a tiny example of your blood. The same can be performed with various industrial equipment such as motors, gearboxes, water power, air blowers, and turbines in order to avoid major breakdowns of the equipment.

Let’s explore this part more in detail. 

Oil analysis (OA) is the laboratory analysis of a lubricant's properties, suspended contaminants, and wear debris, performed during routine predictive maintenance to provide meaningful and accurate information on lubricant and machine conditions.

As shown in the graph below the condition of assets keeps decreasing as the time of its usage keeps increasing. This is a clear indication to monitor your Equipment and Oil's condition frequently and take preventive measures when necessary.


The cost spent on Lubrication holds a major share in the maintenance budget. This cost could be lessened by using preventive measures like Oil analysis and Contamination Control. OA & CC are very cost-efficient and save a lot of resources from wasteful activities.

We at Minimac provide customized and most efficient Lubrication Reliability solutions for your Plant.

Watch our exclusive webinar on “Oil Analysis to achieve Zero Mechanical Breakdown” where our speakers shared and discussed insightful facts for the correct practices for oil analysis.

Minimac  Offers equipment for on-location testing and observing of oil conditions. The need for lab foundation or specific lab faculty is for the most part not compulsory to work the offered gear and instruments. Customary upkeep experts can be prepared effectively to utilize the instruments and equipment, in this manner enabling them towards self-reliance.


The category of oil condition monitoring  can be further divided into 2 sub-categories of instruments:

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
