Lubritech Argentina has just performed a big flushing service during a turnaround in an Ethylene Plant in Argentina. We would like to highlight that all Sicelub Lubritech Group has a big background on this kind of rotating equipment, we have performed similar services in Spain, Brazil and Argentina.

 

We were awarded after an open tender process, where we were the Company that was able to propose the best schedule for flushing service, at a lower cost, and with the best safety conditions.

 

We performed High Velocity Oil Flushing to all lubricating and hydraulic systems of the rotating equipment.

 

The flushing job was scheduled by our customer in 60 days, but we were able to complete the job in 45 days. We had high flow pumps (500 GPM), we applied pneumatic vibration and heated the oil up to 60 °C.

 

Our team was formed by 7 field technicians, 1 EHS and 1 Project Leader (Martín Videla). We worked in two shifts, to reach the lower time for performing the service.

 

We would like to say thanks to our Customer and our Staff in Lubritech Argentina. Not just to the personnel in the field, but also to the Staff that supported commercially and administrative from head offices in La Plata. We would like to share some pictures with you!

We started recently a ney Project in a Refinery in North of Perú. The Project is for “FHigh Velocity Oil Flushing in Steam Turbine GE-ST-20301 in Boiler B/C. It is very important to perform the cleaning of the system since this is directly related with the probability of having a non expected failure at Start of Operation of new Equipment.

The contract was awarded to Lubritech Perú Company. We performed movilization of equipment, hoses, flanges, bypasses, filtration equipment of 100 GPM, stainless steel filter housing, mesh filtration, etc.

We want to say thanks to our customers and our operational team for the opportunity of collaboration on this important Commissioning Project.

Sicelub Ibérico is performing a long-term lubrication contract in a Chemical Plant in Spain. The PADELI contract is focused on performing routine lubrication task, but with the focus on continuous improvement, using technology and specialized technicians. We know that best practices of lubrication improve reliability and availability of rotating equipment.

In the latest weeks, we performed grease lubrication using ultrasonic guns. This is a great improvement compared with manual lubrication or just “adding grease” to bearings.

On other hand, we performed MPC varnish testing in some equipment, and found high values, which indicates that varnish potential is high. Immediately, we connected an external equipment for removing varnish, and we reduced MPC from 42 down to 5, just in 2 weeks, for a reservoir of more than 1,000 Gallons.

You can find more information of our PADELI service in our web page and regarding varnish removal, Grupo Sicelub Lubritech will perform a free Webinar on September 21st.

We thank to our workforce in Spain, and we share some pictures of our job there!
