Turbine Oil Purification in Hydroelectric Power Stations with CMM-T Unit Video

SHARE
Turbine Oil Purification Systems is an important process to ensure reliable operation of equipment at hydroelectric power stations. These oils are used in turbine control systems and its elements, such as oil pressure units, gate servos, rotor wheel servos, bearings and thrust bearings.

Contamination of oil with sludge and moisture causes electric erosion of bearings, reduces reliability of control systems and sealing of turbine generator shaft, resulting in wear of resistant pads and bearing halves (resulting in higher costs of repairs and maintenance), degrades performance and reduces the service life of turbine oils.

Analysis of failures, defects and damage of equipment indicates that 20-25% of incidents are caused by problems in the oil supply and by deteriorating quality of turbine oil.

Replacement of turbine oil is expensive, with high costs of purchasing fresh oil and disposal of used oil. This is especially true if there is a potential to extend the service life of used oil, in spite of the decline in its performance.

An oil-water separator for turbine oil purification does not always provide the necessary degree of water and mechanical impurities removal. The same can be said about another method utilizing filter elements for cleaning of turbine oil. The pores of the filters let through solid particles which are harmful to both the oil system and the entire turbine.

Cleaning turbine oil using GlobeCore CMM-T mobile oil station fully restores oil performance to normal standards and makes the restored oil suitable to be used again.

The CMM-T unit operates equally well with turbine oils, hydraulic and thermal power plants, at facilities of national importance and in hazardous conditions.

Using GlobeCore units for cleaning turbine oil every time when the oil acid number rises above the permissible levels will extend the life of turbine oil; it will save money on buying fresh oil and disposing of waste oil. Purifying turbine oils in a 72 MW radial piston turbine saves $ 1,300 a year or more.
