The resulting oil starvation led to the catastrophic failure of the paper machine and downtime leading to the significant economic damages. After the event, the plant purchased a large and expensive filtration system and connected it to the machine oil reservoir to provide supplemental filtration. Some time later, when samples were taken, the contamination levels were still very high, and the machine continued to be at risk for sudden and catastrophic failure. Problem: The use of the supplemental filtration rig was a positive step, but it failed to address the source of contamination in the system, which continued at a rate that exceeded the ability of the rig to moderate it. As a result, the filtration rig achieved only modest reductions in the contamination level. The plant owner did not realize that the removal efficiency of the filters was not resulting in a proportionally clean reservoir. The failure to recognize the ineffectiveness of the filter rig to lower reservoir contamination levels resulted in continued unacceptable cleanliness levels, and further risk of failure. Solution: A lubricant purification solution with SmartSkidTM allows the operator to monitor the cleanliness levels of both the inlet oil and the filter outlets in real time. This purification rate is translated into an estimated time to reach target cleanliness levels. When the operator inputs the filter efficiency ratings, SmartSkidTM can calculate an anticipated time to completion, based on purification rates and target levels. If the ingress of contaminants continues or recurs during the purification process, SmartSkidTM will recognize that situation and notify the operator of continued or sudden contaminant ingression. The operator can clearly communicate to the staff the time required to purify the reservoir, and determine if other steps are necessary to eliminate the source of contaminants.
