Lubritech do Brasil is currently executing a key project at the manufacturing facility of a major turbocompressor OEM.

Lubritech do Brasil is currently executing a key project at the manufacturing facility of a major turbocompressor OEM.

Scope of work includes:
✔️ High-efficiency filtration of lubricating oil
✔️ High-velocity oil flushing of the entire lubrication system

Why is this so important?
A properly executed high-velocity flushing is essential to remove contaminants, ensure system cleanliness, and guarantee reliability from the very first startup. In critical equipment such as turbocompressors, this step makes the difference between stable operation and premature failures.

Reliability is not improvised — it is built from the ground up.

We invite you to review the attached material for more details about this project.

Another Major Challenge Successfully Completed in the Argentine Steel Industry

We recently finalized a comprehensive service at A Major Argentine Steel Company, within the Hot Rolling area, delivering one of the largest flushing and chemical cleaning projects ever executed at the plant.

Lubrication System No. 7

  • 13 days execution
  • 13 professionals involved
  • Nearly 600 meters of carbon steel piping (10”, 8”, 6”)
  • 15 critical lubrication branches
  • 25,000-liter tank cleaning
  • High-pressure water internal pipe cleaning

We ensured a Reynolds Number above 10,000, achieving the turbulent flow regime required for effective contaminant removal.

This was the largest flushing performed at the plant, completed on schedule.

Walking Beam Hydraulic System

Chemical and oil-hydraulic process over nearly 300 meters of 1 ¼” piping.

Operational Capability

9,000 l/min pumping capacity enabling high-flow filtration, chemical cleaning, and fuel transfer operations.

Safety

The project was executed with zero safety incidents or plant deviations, reflecting strong planning and strict HSE standards.

Proud to combine engineering, hydraulic control (Re ≥ 10,000), and teamwork to maximize reliability.

Commitment to Knowledge Sharing in Tribology and Lubrication

The Sicelub Lubritech Group continues to actively contribute to the dissemination of knowledge in Tribology and Lubrication across South America and Spain.

We are pleased to share that recently:

  • Lubritech Argentina became a Supporting Member of ICML
  • Sicelub Ibérico joined the Spanish Association of Lubrication and Tribology

These milestones reinforce our long-standing involvement with independent technical and knowledge-sharing organizations, including:

  • Lubritech Argentina as an active member of the Argentine Association of Tribology
  • Lubritech do Brasil as an ICML member for the second consecutive year

We firmly believe that knowledge sharing, professional certification, and active participation in technical organizations directly contribute to improving Reliability and Maintenance performance across the Industry, with tribology playing a key role in achieving these objectives.

We invite professionals, companies, and institutions to join, certify, and actively participate in driving continuous improvement within the Industry.
