Myths vs Facts

A. Lubricating industrial equipment is easy.

This a complete myth whereas the actual fact is lubricating is highly detailed and complex. Some of the important decisions that one needs to take are:

1. Selection of proper oil & Grease for a machine.

2. Right place, right frequency and right volume of lubricant to be applied.

3. Proper flushing of lubricant tanks to ensure contamination-free lubricating lines.

4. Also applying grease is also an art; too much or too little of it can damage or blow seals.

B. Minimal consequences and benefits are associated with routinely lubricating industrial equipment.

This is also another myth whereas it has been seen that most events of downtime occur due to inadequate lubrication or due to the use of the wrong lubricant. Though lubricants cost about 1-3% of our total maintenance budget improper or wrong lubrication can lead to machine downtime costing millions of dollars.

C. Lubrication is an unnecessary cost to the organization.

This is completely untrue as correct lubrication practices can actually bring down the cost of maintenance and can give ample opportunity to employ those funds for further development of the company. Also read - http://bit.ly/2Pq76hT

Understanding the Pareto principle in terms of maintenance

In our previous segments, we have discussed several aspects of Lubricant contamination and ways to prevent or treat that contamination. But, as we all know that for every company the maintenance budget is limited so focusing on all the factors is not possible.

The Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 rule ) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. In terms of maintenance, it can be reflected upon as 20% of Machines cause 80% of the Downtime.

Few key causes that constitute this 20% are:

1. Particle Contamination

2. Moisture Contamination

3. Wrong/Degraded Lubricant

4. Misalignment

5. Imbalance

Understanding the root cause of the symptoms that are observed on your machinery?

It is observed across the spectrum that whenever we see issues/symptoms like:

1. Oxidized oil

2. Destructive pitting

3. Excessive vibration

4. Abrasive wear

5. Cavitation

6. Machinery abnormal noise

7. Wear debris generation

8. High running temperature

We usually believe in either Repairing, Replacing, Rebuilding and Removing the affected component. However, it only subsides the symptoms temporarily. This approach is called the 4-R approach and it weeds out the issue from the surface and not at the root level and hence the problem reoccurs. Call +91 7030901266 for Mechanical Maintenance & Oil Check.

However, we should aim at studying these symptoms and work on the root causes. Some of the very frequent root causes that cause the above-mentioned symptoms are:

1. Misalignment

2. Wrong oil usage

3. Moisture

4. Machinery part imbalance

5. Particle contamination

6. Air contamination

Hence, we should aim at 5I approach i.e. It’s clean, It’s Cool, It’s dry, It’s aligned and balanced, It’s well oiled. This approach keeps the machine healthy and eliminates the problem.

In case you are unable to understand the root cause of the symptoms that are observed on your machinery contact Minimac Systems Pvt. Ltd.

3. Damaged or burst filter media – fatigue

4. Bypass at filter media seam

5. Bypass due to adhesive failure

6. Damaged gasket or O-ring seal

7. Bypass valve jammed in open/closed position

8. Installation error, installing a filter in the opposite flow direction

9. Bypass valve leakage

10. Misaligned filter and seal

If none of the above factors contribute to the sub-optimal functioning of your filters we suggest you contact the Minimac Consulting team for required filter calculations and further investigations.

Understanding of the BETA factor

What is the Beta Ratio?

The beta ratio refers to the efficiency in which a given filter element removes the particle of a given size. The Beta Ratio is calculated using the ISO multi-pass test standard 16889:1999.

How is it measured?

Get your filter check today,

So, to purchase a filter with a beta ratio of 2-10 is considered poor, it is advised to use filters with at least a Beta factor of 75 and 98.7% effectiveness. High quality, efficient filter assemblies can achieve 200 to 2000 Beta Ratio for given particle size and should be ideal to achieve a low level of contamination.

Are you buying the right oil filter?

Let’s try to understand the real reason for the price difference. There are two types of filter ratings:

1. Absolute: Filter Rating meaning 99.9% of the particles larger than a specified micron rating will be trapped on or within the filter.

2. Nominal: Filter Rating indicating the approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally interpreted as meaning that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal filter rating will be retained by the filter.

So, a vendor quoting for an Absolute 10-micron filter will have higher prices than the one quoting for a 10-micron nominal filter. So, the key is to always look for the datasheets of these filters and compare them basis the Beta Factor.

Do you know?

In this article, we will understand different types of maintenance techniques their pros and cons along with a brief guideline on how they impact a company’s cost structure with some interesting facts. Contact Minimac to schedule maintenance: +91 7030901266

There are four types of maintenance strategies:

1. Reactive Maintenance: Maintenance is scheduled in response to operational failure.

 This type of maintenance is very useful for lowering initial cost, reducing manpower cost as you need fewer staff members and doesn’t require any planning. On the contrary, this strategy compels you to keep more inventory to brace for unexpected failure. This not only leads to a higher cost but also makes the project budgets unpredictable.

2. Preventive Maintenance: Maintenance is scheduled according to historic trends, experience or reliability data considerable guesswork is required.

Preventive maintenance helps plan operations better and provides a better grip on the project budget as you don’t have to keep a lot of inventory on the shelf. However, sometimes we end up sending parts that do not require maintenance which leads to unnecessary expenditure and work.

3. Predictive Maintenance: Progression of failure is monitored. Machine repair is scheduled prior to a catastrophic breakdown.

Reduction in maintenance costs, reduction in repair and Overhaul time and reduction in spare part inventory are some of the advantages of this technique, however high implementation cost, expense on manpower training and increased manpower are some of the downsides.

4. Proactive Maintenance: Ahead of the first initiation of failure, not in response to failure. Focused on the root cause.

This is one of the superior types as the elimination of the cause of failure saves a lot of costs and contributes to the project’s profitability. However, this can be only applied if the manpower has greater diligence and are consistent with observing and recording their feedback. Also, read https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/functions-hydraulic-oil-reasons-its-contamination-anshuman-agrawal/

What is Varnish & its Effects

Varnish is a soluble and insoluble contaminant made up of by-products of oil degradation and oxidation. It can appear as a gel-resin like consistency or resemble solid deposits in the oil, or which plates out on the metal surfaces of lube systems. It can be the result of several possible root causes, including high temperatures, electrostatic discharges, lubricant degradation and micro dieseling. Varnish can produce a number of problems related to machine operation, such as valve stiction, lubricant flow restriction, clogged filters, etc.

How is varnish different from sludge?

Varnish is a tough, adherent oxide or carbonaceous material that coats internal machine surfaces. Hot surfaces and/or time will often cure varnish to a hard/brittle consistency. In contrast, sludge, which is sometimes a precursor to varnish, is soft and sticky and can move about the system until finally coming to rest at sump bottoms, troughs, strainers, filters, and narrow fluid passages.  To know more follow: https://www.linkedin.com/company/minimacsystemsprivatetlimited

What are the main causes of varnish in your system?

To summarize the prime reasons for varnish generation is following:

1. Pressure-induced thermal degradation. 2. Pressure-induced dieseling

3. Oxidation Is your system susceptible?

There are a number of reasons why lube oils suffer from high rates of varnish contamination. If your system ticks any of these boxes, then you should test your oil for varnish potential: for Oil Check call +91 8975150700 • Visible deposits or discoloration of lube circuit components • If you switched from group I to group II oil, or if you have blended oils • The high flow rate of lube oil from a small lube oil reservoir • High operating temperature • A gas turbine, gas compressor, or hydraulic system How to physically identify if there is a change in chemical composition?

The following can be the warning signs that the oil has undergone chemical changes: • Change in oil colour • Strong odour • Change in oil consistency • Sludge and hard deposits on metal surfaces • Visible contaminants in oil samples

If you are facing varnish deposits, two actions are recommended to control it. First, identify the root causes. This will require a systematic study of the possible factors supported by oil analysis. Next, remove the existing varnish in the machine.

At Minimac Systems, we offer flushing services and filter check services which ensure a clean system including oil tanks and lines. Book an appointment with our technical expert by clicking on https://www.linkedin.com/company/minimacsystemsprivatetlimited or call +91 89751 50700

Importance of product storage

Product storage is an important criterion for any segment of products. It plays a vital role in the longevity of the products, every product in any form has a certain life period and this life period forms the baseline of the product.

Coming to the lubricating oil industry, product life period plays an important role in the smooth running of the machinery and the plant. As these oils play a very important role in the day to day functioning of critical machinery, so if not maintained properly these can lead to the breakdown of machinery thereby leading to a shutdown of the plant which leads to the incurrence of huge loss.

Therefore it is very important that these oils should be used well in advance before their life period expires.

We can hereby pen down certain prerequisite conditions for storage of lubricants:

1. Pre usage Inspection: It is mandatory to verify their performance properties & conditions with oil analysis for the oils that have been kept for a long period of time. On satisfactory analysis results, oils can be used or else needs to be disposed off.

2. Storage Temperature: It is mandatory to maintain the storage temperature of different categories of oil. For eg highly additised oil (Motor, Gear) are at high risk if placed at the low temperature storage room.

3. Shelf Life: All new oils should have identification marking their shelf life in order to identify their shelf life. Oils used after their shelf life would pose a high threat to machinery.

Reclamation of FRF

A 1200 MW coal-fired thermal power plant using Indo-Chinese Turbine EHC – System in Southern India.

SYNOPSIS

The power plant was suffering from a loss in electricity generation for a few days as per the desired target. The O&M team identified that the turbine command was not functioning properly and was tripping frequently. On further investigation, it was found that the Servo Valve (Moog Valve) had failed and showed hunting or sluggish behavior.

Minimac’s EH Oil Reconditioning System “MLC LVDH TRIX 20” acted as a rescuer and saved the plant from an unexpected shutdown.

If this system would have been implemented earlier, a loss of more than ₹5 Cr could have been saved.

PROBLEMS

Failure of Moog Valve: This was the main reason for the turbine trip and breakdown in the power plant.

Poor Oil Analysis Program: Oil analysis should be done monthly for Particle Count & TAN (weekly if the trend is negative). For moisture contamination, weekly test is suggested but the customer failed to perform the tests as per the schedule.

Inadequate Operation Practices: The solenoid valve of the LVDH (oil purification machine) vacuum line was only 20% closed which failed to generate vacuum.

SOLUTIONS

Installation of Minimac’s EH Oil Reconditioning System “MLC LVDH TRIX 20”comprehensively designed with 4 major technologies to:

• Remove solid contamination from oil by Superfine Filtration Technology.

• Remove moisture from oil by Vacuum Dehydration Technology.

• Reduce Total Acid Number (TAN) by Ion Exchange Technique.

• EHC system tank moisture removal and ingress prevention by Inert Gas Blanketing Technique.

Along with equipment installation, our Service Engineer trained the customer’s team on the functions of the EH Oil Re-Conditioner, FRF Maintenance, Contamination Control, and Importance of the Oil Analysis Program.

Total Consumable Details:

Filter – 01 qty of 10 – microns

Filter – 01 qty of 3 – microns to achieve NAS 5 cleanliness

Total Resin – 36 liters

BENEFITS:

1) Extended oil life

2) Elimination of oil replacement cost

3) Protection of turbine against hunting

4) Increased turbine reliability

The below graph is showing the trend of decrease in the values with continuous cycling of EH Oil and total running hours of equipment being 698 hrs.

Stage Wise Mechanical Filtration

There is not a single technology or system that can help resolve all the contamination problems in the lubricants. We believe that one must study and understand the severity of contamination and take action accordingly.

We offer equipment and services that are powered by various advanced technologies. 

Stage wise mechanical filtration is one of them which has helped many power plants overcome oil contamination issues. Not only it helped save maintenance cost but also helped them from premature machine breakdown.

Let’s get familiar with this technology and the equipment that works on the basis of this technology.

High-efficiency filters are used in reducing solid contamination. Whenever an oil batch is cleaned, there would be particles of various sizes.

The first stage is the Largest Micron Rating i.e 50 microns or 25 microns. The second stage could be a Medium-Sized Micron rating maybe 10 or 16 or 20 Micron and the final one, Polishing Filter Stage could be 6,3 or 1 micron.

The decision of micron rating depends on the kind of oil, level of dirt present in the oil and the application where this equipment is used.

The efficiency of these filters ensures faster oil cleaning. It's very essential to select the Micron ratings in an appropriate manner and use the equipment as per the instructions of the manufacturer. Avoiding it might result in a drastic increment of filter consumption.
