Business Centred Maintenance
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Independent companies are exclusive organizations, associations, or sole ownerships that have less workers and additionally less yearly income than a normal estimated business or partnership. From; South African Trademark Search [ more ]
Registered Member Hi everyone, I am new to this forum but have some suggestions on business centered maintenance. My view is why not treat maintenance like a business? The goal of any business is to maximuize the outcome while minimizing the input. That is to improve the return on investment. In maintenance you do this by improving usable capacity, reducing costs and reducing the working capital investment. From this everything else follows. I could go on about how targeting PM programs is analogous to... [ more ]

Steam turbine replacement by electrical motor, for Centrifugal compressor
RM Registered Member
Registered Member The design of the motor at 4000hp running at 6000rpm will be critical, the mechanical stresses on the windings especially winding overhangs of the rotor will require special material and construction, something to consider for long term management of the asset and its reliability. [ more ]
Registered Member Dear Johan, totally agree with you.. the challenge is huge.. I heard with modern VFD not is necessary to get Gear Box, because the VFD can reach 7200 rpm in the motor, that is enough for the compressor. but I dont know the power limits for this application. thanks. [ more ]
Registered Member Evening Ramon, some comments, depending on the voltage a VFD could be better option however voltage would dictate, high speed motors comes with its own challenges, keep an eye out for that, select gearbox carefully, high quality especially for that speed will be critical, wouldn't like to recommend publicly (can discuss with you if you are interested). Yes numerous ways to inspect and make foundation and base is suitable, would imagine if you go from steam turbine to electric motor there... [ more ]

Registered Member I'll agree there may be some energy dissipated in the damping of the pumped fluid if the motor is attached to a pump. We need to consider that along with the energy dissipated in the bearings. The energy dissipated in structures from vibration is still negligible. I still think it is not reasonable to estimate the energy put into the system or removed from the system based on the effort a human would perceive (break into a sweat). This was illustrated by my block example above. In short, you... [ more ]

Fuel Injector-Calibrator
RM Registered Member
Registered Member hi bill, The information you are looking for is very difficult to find on the internet because the calibrator j-22410 is a machine that appeared between the sixties and seventies. in my inventory I have a kent-Moore injectors comparator J-7041 that I could put operational based on the little information I got in the detroit diesel maintenance manuals. I have the same calibrator as you but I lack the adapters for the injectors, if we could exchange information it would be great. Regards! [ more ]

silica gel as a adsorben in instrument air dryer
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Ray, Silica Gel is important as an adsorbent to help control humidity/moisture. There are two types of gel available, plain, and indicator gel. Plain gel is clear and uncolored. Indicator gel is blue and turns pink as moisture is adsorbed to give an indication of excess moisture in systems where that is a critical parameter. I used to work in a plant that manufactured/packaged desiccants and we made a lot of packets and canisters containing silica gel. It is harmless for most uses and should... [ more ]
Registered Member Hi Ray, Sorry for late response. I have a long vacation. I have no clue on your system. But in general, you can check : Instrument air dryer system purging system Check your silica gel specification. Best Regards; Sati [ more ]

Registered Member I thought the OEM should have expected this kind of problems mentioned. So refering to OEM may help. However, can you just blow air to remove the dust from the conveyor parts? Sticky coal during rainy season - Is the conveyor covered with shed on top or even housed completely? Will washing down the conveyor help remove the sticky coal? [ more ]
Registered Member My one thought on this is about the conveyor. I feel confident you can run one conveyor independant of the other. If the is true pick your battles for the best and worst conveyor. You are looking for bang 4 buck and longivity. Then assess other fault areas or componants. Provide HMFIC the I can and I could scenario, let him say yes this will work If you are hmfic, hire the mfg to come in and survey the conveyors. That will tell you when and what and where.

Improving air-coal ratio
RM Registered Member
Registered Member you can increase the aph performance by introduction of new design seals this will increase the primary sir temperature and reduce use of total PA air. if coal is of low gcv and low VM then SADC adjustment can be done with metal temperature and spray quantity of boiler Superheaters and preheaters. [ more ]
Registered Member Our coal always had to meet certain standards before acceptance. That was the way it was written into the contracts. If you do not have that luxury then you have to run your boilers according to what coal you do have. The list I gave you before is a good starting point. Then you must center line your boiler to the type of coal you have. After you get to that point you can make small changes to your process. DOCUMENT what happened! If things were made better then that becomes your new center... [ more ]
Registered Member What is your issue? 1. Over the red line on the motor? 2. Feeder speed limitations 3. Overloaded coal mills? I miss the mark, but this is my 2 cents. Prior to increasing the air flow just because your fuel flow has increased. I find the measurement of coal/air ratios to be the biggest challenge. Understanding the coal rope and how coal flows thru the pipe, would come 1st. Think of silt in a fast river. The silt comes to a corner then lays up close to the bank before it snakes it way back to... [ more ]

Replacement of Normal API 610 Pump with Slurry handling pump due to change in process (25 WT % of Catalyst fines)
RM Registered Member
Registered Member As per plant process/ operation's response there is project to install filtration system on the slip stream to clean the catalyst from the system which is expected to be installed by end of 2020. With this project solid content of the circulating water is expected to go down to 0.01-0.02 wt% level. Now actually untill 2020 we don't want to continue damaging these pumps; I believe the selected slurry handling pump will be able to handle current conditions and the condition that will be... [ more ]
Registered Member Ok, I presume the high solids content is due to recirculation (you're not continually losing that quantity of catalyst otherwise you'd have a bigger problem than a worn pump). I would consider filtration downstream of your circulation pumps before changing your pump technology. [ more ]
Registered Member Originally these pumps were not designed to handle such high quantity/ % of Catalyst dust; therefore as per design there is a normal metallic mesh at the suction of these pumps. Which now get's damaged after every 2-3 weeks due to erosion. There is no filtration system installed at these pumps. [ more ]

How to set Magnetic Center of the motor
RM Registered Member
Registered Member It's not unheard of for 2-pole motors to oscillate axially when uncoupled. Two factors drive this behavior to be more common in 2-pole motors than slower motors: 1 - 2-pole motors tend to have weaker centering force than slower motors due to fewer vent ducts or no vent ducts. 2 - 2-pole motors tend to have stronger air-related forces due to axial fan design. You can often see this by temporarily blocking off air entrance on double-end ventilated motors and looking for change in rotor... [ more ]

Packing vent flow - Make Up Gas Compressor
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Guys,One question.. not related to discussion but I am curious to know.I have seen some recip compressors with check valves and without check valves in packing vent lines so do we really need check valves in packing vent lines connected to flare? What can happne in case of no check valves in packing vent lines?I there any standard or spec to provide check valves in packing vent lines [ more ]
Registered Member I would use differential temperatures from packing vent to packing vent to determine if you indeed have a leak. H2 compression is difficult to diagnose as flows can be moderate before you get large temperature differentials. As was said, determine the calibration of the flow meter and lubrication rates to the packing. [ more ]
Registered Member Then, you should talk to the project consultant to get the rational for putting it there. I think this check should be done before doing the modification. [ more ]

Registered Member This would cause the housing to become out of round and I would only use this as a temporary fix until the housing can be replaced with a new one! If the parting line is reduced the point of bearing contact in the housing become 90 degrees away from the parting line. [ more ]
Registered Member Jingas Instead of changing the bearing housing you can scrap the parting planes faces split bearing housing . The best way to decide , how much to scrap the parting planes is to place shims of 0.5mm thickness (for example)on parting planes. Then place lead wire over outer race of bearing. Now put top half bearing housing on the bottom half.Tighten the bolts.Now Calculate x=0.5(i.e. shim thickness)-residual lead wire thickness.

Purchase the pump as API 610 edition 11th
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Centrifugal API 610 10th Edition OH6 and ISO 13709 Pumps are ideal for critical heavy-duty process applications. The impeller is directly mounted to the gearbox output shaft and there is no coupling between the gearbox and pump. That's why the gearbox is flexibly joined to its driver. The pumps may be oriented verticall or horizontally. [ more ]

Registered Member 4 pole induction motor as prime mover, so something just short of 1800 RPM input. I'd be guessing at the output shaft, those large overhung pulleys, but somewhere in the region of 50 RPM I suspect. I base that on some assumptions; say a pulley diameter of 10 feet and a maximum peripheral velocity of about 1500 ft/min. Why 1500 ft/min?

Skirt Systems frame
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Which way is the frame bending? Is it bending down into the belt or out towards the belt? In my past,I have found that down is usually due to loads placed on steel work. This could either be from material weighing down the system or the support system causing a force to be applied to a frame. Out can be because of loads, but I have seen where temperature differences between the inside and outside of a frame will cause bending. I actually saw where solar loading on fiberglass skirts cause the... [ more ]

Boiler PM
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Jim, There is a legal obligation to maintain a record of your assets for accounting and reporting purposes. Also called an Asset Register, it is usually within the CMMS. This record needs unique (functional location) identification by Tag No. From a Reliability and maintenance cost management point of view as well, functional location numbers are necessary. I like Aubrey's method; from a safety management point of view, it is very helpful. [ more ]
Registered Member In any CMMS, every equipment should have tag numbers and assigned a number. There should be a tagging system available to be followed for eqpt without any tag nos. [ more ]
Registered Member Just my opinion, but I like tags on everything. This helps make sure you are working and inspecting the correct piece of equipment. Matching tags back in the MCC room helps ensure you have locked out the right piece of equipment. People don't do well with just a number. It is a lot easier to remember boiler feed pump #1 rather than 101-23-123. Computers and SAP love numbers. That is why most CMMS systems have both. Just my 50th of a dollar, [ more ]

balancing a rotor after shaft Run out Correction

You don't give any specifics but isn't this essentially what you did by "correcting shaft runout that is out of tolerance". You've removed a small mass when you corrected the runout in which case you almost certainly have upset the balance state to an unknown degree. You have to make the decision based on the specifics.
