Compressed Air Leak Detection – A Dual Challenge for Energy and the Environment
In today’s modern industrial operations, few processes rank higher in terms of importance than compressed air and no process places a higher demand on energy consumption. As a key [...]
Bearing Grease Replenishment: Time VS Condition?
Maintaining plant assets in an optimal state of lubrication is a topic receiving lots of attention. Maintenance and Reliability practitioners dedicate teams to the task but not every organization [...]
What Are the Benefits of an Ultrasound Assisted Lubrication Program?
Ultrasound assisted lubrication of plant assets offers significant benefits that calendar based lubrication cannot. Lubrication serves a primary purpose, which is to create a thin layer of lubricant between rolling [...]
Ultrasound Guided Bearing Lubrication
The insides of a bearing consist of four important components. The inner and outer raceways form a path for the rolling elements to glide on a thin film of lubricant. [...]
Predictive maintenance can significantly increase the service life of steam generating facilities
These predictive operations limit repair costs and reduce the risk of production downtime. In a conventional steam production plant, 5 to 15% of the steam traps fail every year. [...]
Example of predictive maintenance
Save at least €2 500 per year per LEAKING steam trap! A failed trap generates a huge waste of energy and steam. It can also cause severe damage to [...]
Using Ultrasound for Electric Power Reliability
Unreliable electric systems not only cost millions of euros in downtime and repairs, but they also have the potential to maim and kill. Reliability leaders must remain focused on [...]
Why do we test for Partial Discharge?
In a word: Reliability. Actually, two words, reliability and safety, but reliability leaders know that the two go hand in hand. In fact, reliable facilities are safe facilities. Electrical [...]
The Dynamic Duo – ultrasound inspection and infrared imaging
Gerdau, based in Brazil, is one of the world's largest steel producers and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol GNA. Gerdau Ameristeel is the American [...]
Ultrasound Prevents Transformer Outages
Steel processing requires a lot of energy and powerful electrical systems. However, a single electrical component failure can bring steel production to a halt, resulting in significant time and [...]
