Initial Client Problem

Our client is a coal fired steam power plant company in East Kalimantan. The type of oil used for the turbine was Mineral Oil ISO VG 32. They had problems due to gland steam seal leakage. The turbine oil needs to be purified due to the high water content of 5000 PPM or rH 80% and high number of contaminant particles with cleanliness of ISO 22/20/18 (minimum standard is ISO 18/16/13). The challenge was the turbine should operate continuously and the oil purifier should be able to maintain the water content below 500 ppm and the cleanliness level reached value below NAS 8.

Our Solution

Tekno Fluida Indonesia made a Dewatering System DS-120 functioning as Oil Purifier Mobile Unit with a Nominal Flow Rate of 120 l / min. The oil used was Insulating Oil for turbine with 3 micron Filter, Water Sensor and Automatic Particle Counter. The post-treatment water content was rH 18% and the cleanliness reached NAS 6. These results fulfilled our client’s request.
