02 – Room for improvement

This section compares the MTBF of centrifugal pumps in different industries and regions of the world, to visualize the opportunity for improvement. Remember that the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) measures the frequency of failures or interventions in centrifugal pumps. This KPI is used to compare both the availability and reliability of a mechanical element. The higher this value, the better the reliability and availability indicators.

Although statistics from about 8 years ago are shown, it can be noted that there is a wide range of these values ​​when comparing different regions and markets. It is highly remarkable that the best indicators are found in “best of class” pumps in the Texas area, where oil mist lubrication is a standard practice among all users. A good way to view this slide is to understand that if you have an MTBF of less than 6 years, by applying mist lubrication, you will be able to improve this indicator, even if you think that the pumps do not fail due to lubrication problems.

01. Oil Mist Lubrication Webinar, by Heinz Bloch

Some years ago, our Company arranged an online Webinar about Oil Mist Lubrication. It was performed
by Heinz Bloch, world leader in rotating equipment reliability. During this show, we were able to share
with attendees the vast experience of Mr. Heinz Bloch and some applications our company did for the
Industry.

We are going to publish some extracts of this webinar in different posts. You will be able to get answers
for different questions about Oil Mist Lubrication, benefits, applications, etc.
We invite you to follow under the hashtag #HeinzBlochSicelub. Below, the first video.

Thermojet Equipment in Brazil

In mid-2023, our Company in Brazil, Lubritech do Brasil decided to invest in bringing 10 Thermojet oil purifying equipment to Brazil for immediate delivery or service, due to the growing demand from the Industry to solve problems of contamination by water, particles, gases and varnish; in different equipment such as Steam Turbines, Gas Turbines, Paper Machines, Compressors and Centrifugal Pumps.

With an installed base of more than 120 equipment in Brazil, Thermojet technology has proven to be a reliable solution for removing contaminants over the past 25 years. The main feature of the Thermojet purifying equipment is its autonomous way of working, that is, 24×7 without the need for a full-time operator, we could say that it is a “plug & play” equipment. Several turbine and compressor manufacturers integrate Thermojet equipment as part of the machine’s Lubrication and Control System.

The equipment arrived in Brazil, was certified by Inmetro, and after 2 months, only 4 remain available for sale and/or service provision in our facilities. We hope to have them operating soon and adding value to our client’s facilities.

This technology is available to offer in Latin America, Europe and around the world. We invite you to watch a video on how the equipment works, and find more information at https://sicelub.com/en/solutions-sicelub-lubritech-group/#tab-id-2
