Problem
At a major petroleum refinery in Turkey, a crucial gas compressor exhibited elevated bearing temperatures. Persistent escalation of temperatures posed a potential threat to the entire plant, requiring a shutdown and significantly impacting overall productivity.
Solution
Introducing DECON™ to the gas compressor effectively mitigated the rapid temperature escalation. This facilitated dissolution of deposits within the system and maintained them in solution. This resulted in the reduction of axial bearing temperatures for this compressor.
Results
DECON successfully reduced bearing temperatures, avoiding a refinery shutdown. Currently deployed at two sites, it ensures bearing temperatures remain within the prescribed tolerance range. Notably, O-rings remained unaffected by the introduction of DECON.
