Global Tire Manufacturer

Problem

A global tire manufacturing facility faced significant output issues due to high levels of varnish in one of their turbines. The turbine had MPC levels of 54 and critical TAN values of 0.93, risking an unscheduled shutdown.

Solution

The facility added DECON™ to the turbine at a 3% treat rate to decontaminate the system.

Results

After adding DECON, the MPC  levels dropped from 54 to 5, and the TAN levels normalized. This prevented the need for maintenance, oil changes, or system flushes, avoiding extra costs and production impacts.


Saved $63,000 in operating expenses and 4,700 liters of oil
