Flushing in Commissioning

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.

Long Term Lubrication Contract PADELI in Spain

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!

Lubritech do Brasil has just completed the first stage of Turnaround Service in a big lubricating system (more than 12,000 Gallons of Oil) of a Turbo Compressor in a Chemical Plant in Brazil. We were there working more than 15 days, and we drained the oil, performed cleaning in oil reservoir, filter and fill the new charge. We reached a NAS 4 for cleanliness!

For this job, we utilized a filtration unit of 150 GPM, with two filter elements of 34” large and an Oil Purifier for removing water.

Second stage of the job, it would be focused on decreasing varnish potential in the system. For this, we will use a liquid product for improving solvency, and a Balance Charge Agglomeration Technology for removing varnish. ISOPur.

Technicians working in that Project were:

Marcos Santos, Edmilson Oliveira, Djalma Alves, Manuel Santos, Alexandre Adão Lopes and the external support of Edson Zillig in logistic.

You can see some pictures of the job.
