During July, our Company in Brazil, Lubritech do Brasile performed several trainings for Customers and employees. We do believe that knowledge transfer to our customers and employees is a key strategy for improving performance.

Early July, we did a first training session about contamination in lubricant for turbines, for several maintenance managers of a very important power plant company with more than 30 turbines in the country. Totally, more than 80 attendants were present in our training. Key topic was varnish prevention and removal in turbines.

Middle July we performed another training in an important Refinery in North of Brazil where more than 70 persons attended. Main topic was Oil Mist Lubrication for Centrifugal Pumps.

Lastly, we performed an internal training to our technicians about High Velocity Oil Flushing, Particle Counter analysis, and maintenance of Thermojet oil purifiers.

We share some pictures, and we would like to thank to Leonardo Cardoso, Valdinei Silvia, Alexandre Adao y Marcilio Oliveira for arranging and performing all these trainings.

Argentina has recently started the commissioning and start up process for a new gas pipeline to transport gas from Vaca Muerta to Buenos Aires. Néstor Kirchner pipeline will allow to the country to save a lot of money from importation. The first stage of the project is ending right now.

There is a second stage for transporting the gas from Buenos Aires to Santa Fe. Maybe in the future the pipeline will allow to export gas to Brazil.

Lubritech Argentina, our local entity is proud to be participated in a key project related to this milestone. We have performed a high velocity oil flushing service in hydraulic and lubrication system of the Rolling Mill 1 x 12 where new piping will be manufactured for this second stage of the pipeline construction. We have performed this job during the turnaround for maintenance in the Rolling Mill.

The proyect was performed in more of 20 days, where we prepared all temporary jumpers, used our high flow pumps and high efficiency filters for cleaning more than 3,000 meters of piping. We have reached an ISO Code below required and this will guarantee reliable operation of the system during production.

We cleaned piping from 1/2” up to 4”, and to certify cleanliness level, we performed on site particle count, using metallic meshes.

We want to say thanks to our team in Lubritech Argentina, and congratulate them for being part of this big project for the Country.

Our team in the project was:

Martín Videla. Project Coordination

Daniel Pérez. Project Leader

Technicians

Federico Ricciardi, Agustín Sena, Nazareno Marinelli, Federico Sturtz, Andrés Frezzini and Rodrigo Coppiarolo

You can see some pictures and videos of the job.

Lubricant oil can be used as a thermal transfer fluid, commonly known as Hot Oil; in different applications in Gas Production Plants, Asphalts heating, Termosolar Power Plants among others. This fluid usually works as 400 °F.

Sicelub Lubritech Group has background performing High Velocity Oil Flushing Services in Hot Oil System, when a fluid change is scheduled.

The innovation from our company is that we can perform on line filtration, at operational temperature with the following benefits:

  • It is no necessary to stop the system, which optimize production.
  • Fluid life is extended due to the contamination removal.

Firs job we performed in Argentina is an online Filtration to a Hot Oil System with 90,000 liters of fluid in a Gas Production Plant in the south of the country. We used a 100 GPM filtration skid, able to operate at high temperatures (up to 660 °F), and using filter elements with different β factors.

The Service was performed in Tierra del Fuego, parallel 52 South; for 15 days, starting with ISO Code of 26/24/21, reaching ISO Code 15/14/11, improving cleanliness in more than 500 times.

Our technicians involved in the job were Daniel Perez, Marcos Herrera, Andres Frezzini, y Rodrigo Coppiarolo; reporting to Martín Videla.
