12 – Pump Repairs.

This fragment shows in more detail the reduction in failures when mist lubrication is applied. Two similar plants with about 200 pumps each are compared. In one plant, the conventional oil bath lubrication method is used, and in another plant, mist lubrication is used. The number of repairs is much lower in the plant where mist lubrication is used. The reduction is approximately 90%, without a doubt, a very important benefit.

11 – Oil Mist Lubrication Benefits

Here we summarize the benefits of the technology, or the value that it brings to users.

Although there are multiple benefits, Heinz Bloch highlights 4 here, which we consider to be the most important.

  1. Reduction of repairs and failures. It is important to note that an unscheduled intervention to repair a centrifugal pump in the Oil & Gas Industry can have very high costs, related to materials, labor, production and others.
  2. Reduction of Labor. Being a completely automatic system, the labor allocated to conventional lubrication tasks can be reduced, redirecting these activities to others with greater added value.
  3. Reduction of oil consumption. A closed mist lubrication system will provide improvements in lubricant consumption, providing economic and sustainability benefits.
  4. Improvements in safety. By applying mist lubrication, and reducing the frequency of failures, the possibility of having a plant fire is also reduced. Even insurance companies value the use of this technology positively, impacting on the reduction of plant insurance premiums.

10 – Functions of lubricant. Protection against corrosion.

In this video, we will delve into another of the lubricant’s functions and how it is improved by moving from oil level to mist lubrication.

We analyze in detail the function of protecting against corrosion. This function is greatly improved when mist lubrication is applied, since when using oil bath or level; there is poor protection against corrosion in the pump’s internals. We know that, due to ambient temperature changes between day and night, air passages occur to and from the inside of the machine. The oil level only protects to the extent that it is present, and a large part of the pump’s internals are exposed to the passage of air with humidity, dust, or chemical agents. On the other hand, when mist lubrication is installed, all internals are impregnated and protected against corrosion. In addition, the internal positive pressure that is produced prevents any entry of external agents into the tribological system, greatly improving this lubricant function.
