Plant Shutdown – September 2025 | Peru
During the scheduled plant shutdown in September, the Lubritech Peru team successfully carried out the chemical cleaning of heat exchangers from the Ring Motor and Lubrication System of the SAG 1, Ball 1, and Ball 2 Mills of Phase 1, at a major mining company in Peru.
The main goal was to remove scale, sediments, and contaminants accumulated in the cooling and lubrication circuits, which affected heat transfer and overall equipment performance.
This work aimed to restore optimal operating conditions, extend system life, and ensure process continuity and safety.
Activities included draining, connection of recirculation systems, and continuous monitoring of technical parameters (pH, temperature, conductivity, and TDS), ensuring a controlled and safe execution aligned with technical and environmental standards.
✅ Results
The intervention allowed the recovery of the heat exchangers’ thermal efficiency, improving heat transfer, reducing operating temperatures, and stabilizing the lubrication and cooling systems.
All neutralization and responsible environmental management procedures for generated effluents were properly completed.
Congratulations to the Lubritech Peru team for their commitment, professionalism, and outstanding performance
