11 – Oil Mist Lubrication Benefits

Here we summarize the benefits of the technology, or the value that it brings to users.

Although there are multiple benefits, Heinz Bloch highlights 4 here, which we consider to be the most important.

  1. Reduction of repairs and failures. It is important to note that an unscheduled intervention to repair a centrifugal pump in the Oil & Gas Industry can have very high costs, related to materials, labor, production and others.
  2. Reduction of Labor. Being a completely automatic system, the labor allocated to conventional lubrication tasks can be reduced, redirecting these activities to others with greater added value.
  3. Reduction of oil consumption. A closed mist lubrication system will provide improvements in lubricant consumption, providing economic and sustainability benefits.
  4. Improvements in safety. By applying mist lubrication, and reducing the frequency of failures, the possibility of having a plant fire is also reduced. Even insurance companies value the use of this technology positively, impacting on the reduction of plant insurance premiums.

10 – Functions of lubricant. Protection against corrosion.

In this video, we will delve into another of the lubricant’s functions and how it is improved by moving from oil level to mist lubrication.

We analyze in detail the function of protecting against corrosion. This function is greatly improved when mist lubrication is applied, since when using oil bath or level; there is poor protection against corrosion in the pump’s internals. We know that, due to ambient temperature changes between day and night, air passages occur to and from the inside of the machine. The oil level only protects to the extent that it is present, and a large part of the pump’s internals are exposed to the passage of air with humidity, dust, or chemical agents. On the other hand, when mist lubrication is installed, all internals are impregnated and protected against corrosion. In addition, the internal positive pressure that is produced prevents any entry of external agents into the tribological system, greatly improving this lubricant function.

Emergency Water Removal Service in Turbine

Lubritech Argentina recently carried out emergency job on a Siemens Steam Turbine of an important Petrochemical Company in the country. Our Company received a request indicating that a customer had an emergency due to high water contamination at its plant. Lubritech contacted the customer, and an urgent mobilization was carried out to be able to attend to and remedy the situation.

The steam turbine, with a lubrication system with more than 6,000 liters, presented high levels of water presence (3,500 ppm). After the installation of the Thermojet Oil Purification Equipment, we were able to remove water below 100 ppm in a few hours. The client stated that the service met their expectations and showed their satisfaction with our Organization, Service and Speed ​​of Response.

Let us remember that the presence of water in the lubricant negatively affects the life of the mechanical elements. The fact of decreasing from 3,500 ppm to 100 ppm, implies an increase in the life expectancy of the machine’s bearings of 7 times!

If you want to know a little more about the Thermojet Equipment, we invite you to watch a short video about its operation at https://youtu.be/bHm6zFc_wgY?si=dwWnq0P-eCKUMzNu
