Case study on a cooling tower fan gearbox failure caused by reduced sampling frequency and trend analysis, which contributed to a lack of maintenance action. This resulted in an $800,000 gearbox failure.
Learn how to obtain a multilayered oil sample from 55-gallon drums using a hand-held vacuum pump or a pipette style sampling tube.
Root cause analysis is a powerful tool for investigating equipment problems when combined with oil analysis. It helps to identify what happened, why it happened, and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.
Using Oil Intelligence to follow the lubricant's journey from arrival through its life cycle, you can see how every step offers an opportunity to implement practices that mitigate risks.
Sensei OLEX allows maintenance personnel to quickly monitor oil level in hundreds of pieces of equipment through Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Sensei OLEX can also help Environmental, Health and Safety Managers improve their metrics in the areas of slips, trips and falls – which are the 2nd most common injuries in the workplace.
IIoT devices are not a one-size-fits-all-solution. There are many types of systems and devices that provide plants the ability to expand their technological endeavors. However, the decisions to implement IIoT can be complex and multifaceted. It is a unified effort between a variety of functions.
To get more value from oil analysis, it is important to take reference samples so you’re not missing out on valuable insights.
A Combined Cycle Power Generation plant adapts their lubrication and reliability program to address the various stages of the Journey of the Lubricant and realizes the full potential of a preventative lubrication and reliability program.
