A paper mill in Eastern U.S. was looking at replacing 25,000 gallons of oil following the mill retrofit from print paper to brown packaging paper. Working with mill management a test protocol was created to demonstrate remaining life in the oil, net contaminants load and risk of the oil creating deposits and varnish in advance of dumping the oil and ordering replacement.
With this test protocol and thoughtful reflection on the data, the mill saved 15,000 gallons of oil for re-use, and determined that 1,500 gallons of turbine oil could be tasked for system flushes where needed. In this case study session, you will learn the advanced oil analysis techniques and protocols used to save this mill about $120,000 in fluid replacement costs.
