Chemical Cleaning and Hydraulic Flushing Service in Argentina

Our company, Lubritech Argentina, was recently awarded to perform an intervention on a Siemens SST 300 Steam Turbine at a power plant in northeast of Argentina.

Four technicians, coordinated by our Service Leader, Martín Videla, were deployed to perform chemical cleaning and high velocity oil flushing of the various lubrication, control, and lifting systems, as well as oil-side heat exchangers.

A preliminary pre-engineering stage was conducted to determine the cleaning fluids to be used; once these were selected, degreasing, acid cleaning, and neutralization activities were performed, followed by high velocity oil flushing. It is very important to note here that the new revision of the ASTM D6439 Flushing Standard is more restrictive regarding the Reynolds number to be achieved for turbulent flushing. The Reynolds number is required to be greater than 10,000, whereas previous versions of the standard stated it was 4,000.

We attach some photographs of the work team, as well as the system before and after cleaning. The work was carried out with safety, quality, and meeting the client’s expectations.

Lubritech Argentina thanks the plant team consisting of Videla Martin, Sebastian Romero, Facundo Segura, Marcos Herrera, and Rodrigo Coppiarolo.

15 – Conclusions

With this post we will close the cycle.

Oil Mist lubrication has been operating since 1967 in the Oil & Gas Industry with excellent results worldwide. With more than 150,000 mist lubricated pumps since then, the installed base and references are extremely large, both in the United States, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

If you have an MTBF of less than 6 years in any of your Plants, performing a retrofit to install oil mist lubrication is without a doubt the best option that exists to improve. The project to improve lubrication will not interfere with the normal operation of the plant, and a Plant Shutdown is not required to apply the technology.

We wanted to honor the memory of Heinz Bloch with these posts and provide information so that you know firsthand the benefits of applying this technology.
