During 2021, Sicelub Ibérico performed different oil purification services in an important Refinery of Spain, using a Thermojet Oil Purifier.

In one Service, main objective was to remove water from oil and in other, to remove gas entering the lubricating oil system from mechanical seals. In both cases, the Thermojet showed a high efficiency for purifying the oil, achieving saving in oil consumption, and making more reliable and available the rotating equipment, since it wasn’t necessary to perform an unplanned outage for repairs. We know that a good oil quality extends life of mechanical elements like journal bearings, valves, etc.

From environmental point of view, our customer saved more than 50,000 liters of oil in one year, which is a great impact in Sustainability.

We would like to invite you to know more about our Thermojet Oil Purifier in our web page, where you can find more info about the technology and some case studies.

Sicelub Lubritech Group has delivered a Thermojet Oil Purifier to a very important customer in Venezuela, after several years without operations in that Country. This news makes us proud.

The Thermojet oil purifier can remove free, emulsified and dissolved water, particles and gases in different lubricating, control and sealing systems in Turbomachinery. There are more than 200 Thermojet oil purifiers operating in different countries in Iberoamerica, and this is a exclusive design of Lubrication System Company, our sister company in Reladyne.

This operation was done thanks to our exclusive representative in Venezuela, Tecflow (http://tecflowgroup.com/products/). They developed all the commercial, administrative and operative processes there.

Any need you have related with oil mist lubrication, oil purification and other applications in Venezuela, please, feel free to contact to Tecflow, o to Sicelub Lubritech Group at info@sicelub.com, where we will arrange the best way to provide an assistance together with Tecflow!

During the last week of November, Sicelub Lubritech Group participated in training on tribology and lubrication engineering.

 

In Peru, Mr. Roberto Romero arranged a technical training of more than 20 hours about best practices in lubrication in Refineries. We had more than 30 attendants, all of them engineers of refineries. We covered very interesting topics, including Oil Analysis Programs, best practices in contamination control, oil mist lubrication for centrifugal pumps and high velocity oil flushing procedures for commissioning or turnaround. The dynamic of the training was very nice, a lot of questions, answers, and comments. Main objective of the training was to share the importance of lubrication in Maintenance Program in Refineries. We shared case studies from Sicelub Lubritech Group in the last 20 years in Refineries of Latin America.

 

In Argentina, Mr. Cristian Schmid performed a presentation about “Oil lubricant film in journal bearings calculation. Practical application” during the 2021 Tribology Days arranged by the Argentinian Tribology Association. On this work, we showed the lubrication theory, some equations, but also a practical application in journal bearing of a reciprocating compressor.

 

From Sicelub Lubritech Group, we will continue sharing best practices on industrial lubrication and our knowledge for helping our customers to increase reliability and availability.
