U.S. Pipeline
Problem
Two turbines on a pipeline in the US began experiencing very high MPC values in the Critical range above 50. There were system deposits that affected the production capacity of the turbines and by extension the volume of product delivered to the end customers.
Solution
Fluitec’s Boost VR+ was added to both turbines at rates of 6.5% & 4.6% respectively. Within 50 days, the MPC values had been reduced to the Normal range below 10 on both turbines. These values were maintained within that range for more than 50 days after adding the Boost VR+ to the system.
Results
- Drastic decline in MPCs from all three turbines from the 60-65 range to the Normal range below 10 within 14 days after adding Boost VR+ to each system
- There was no need to flush the system and change oil as the system became decontaminated with the Boost VR+
- Increased the availability of all three turbines for the pipeline which increased the supply of product to the end customers
