These systems
are designed to remove
contaminants from lubricating oils and
fuels, ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of machinery and
equipment.
These contaminants can include dirt, debris, water, and particulate matter,
among others. Removing these impurities is essential to maintain the quality
and performance of lubricants.
In hydrocarbon companies, machinery and equipment operate in demanding
conditions. Contaminants in lubricants can accelerate wear and tear, leading
to equipment breakdowns, increased maintenance costs, and reduced
operational efficiency. Bulk filtration systems help protect these critical
assets by ensuring that lubricants remain clean and free from harmful
particles.
These systems are designed to filter particles of various sizes, and the
efficiency of the filtration process can be tailored to meet specific
requirements. This is important because different equipment may have varying
tolerances for particle size, and some applications may require ultra-clean
lubricants.
Thanks to the vast
experience of DMB's senior
team, in industries other than mining and hydrocarbons where we were able
to interpret, said "mud map" and quickly formalize a suitably approved
design, that more than met our client's expectations.
The facility consisted of two Poly tanks, a 14,000-litre clean water tank
and a 23,000-litre waste water tank, both were housed in protective /
transport frames.
Clean water was pumped to the client's water cannons using a 4kW, 50x32-160,
centrifugal, Close Coupled Motor Pump.
Our partner electrical contractor assembled and installed the control panel
to site-specific standards.
An-inline thermal relief valve was also installed on the pumping circuit to
prevent over-presurisation of the circuit.
The client's water cannons were mounted onto the two custom-fabricated
aluminium platforms, organized through one of our trusted partners.
Designed to store
lubricants, oils, and
grease. The choice of container depends on the specific lubricant being
stored, the environment conditions, and the volume required for ongoing
operations.
Many Lube containers are designed with mobility in mind. They often feature
handles, wheels, or lifting points, making it easier to transport and
distribute lubricants to different machinery and maintenance points.
Proper labelling and color-coding are crucial for identifying the type of
lubricant contained in these containers. Additionally, safety features like
spill containment systems and locking mechanisms are often integrated into
lube containers to prevent accidents and environmental hazards.
