Problem
A major industrial gas manufacturer encountered significant bearing temperature spikes in their centrifugal compressor, persisting for 1.5 years despite routine filtration efforts. The temperature threshold breaches posed a threat of shutdown.
Solution
DECON™ was added to the system at a treat rate of 5% to aid in reducing the bearing temperatures by dissolving the deposits.
Results
Following the introduction of DECON to the system, bearing temperatures swiftly stabilized to normal levels within a few days. The intervention successfully prevented an unplanned shutdown, and after 3 months, the bearing temperatures have consistently maintained stability. The plant now operates with increased efficiency and reliability compared to the preceding years.
