Contamination Control

Techenomics’ filtration services assist companies with the design and installation of a range of fuel and oil filtration solutions. Due to the complexity and cost of modern capital equipment, it is vital for companies to ensure that fuels and lubricants used in their operations are clean. Cleanliness can prevent or reduce component failure, reduce downtime and minimise the cost on repairs. Techenomics provides comprehensive condition monitoring and contamination control audits. These audits are used to develop and implement operational practises for delivering clean fuels and oils to production processes, as well as provide an environmentally friendly workplace.

FLAC – Fuel, Lubricants, Air, Coolants

Techenomics International has extensive knowledge of the FLAC program. Audits are conducted to find cause’s of dirt or water ingress, design faults, incorrect procedures, handling and storage methods that can all lead to unnecessary high cleanliness readings. Techenomics proceed with an appropriate plan and method of achieving a cleanliness level of 13/11, dependent on lubricant type and use. The audit may recommend changing or placement of delivery points on bulk tanks, pipe fittings, breather replacements, pump replacements, filters, dispensing methods and fittings, inline filtration systems right down to waste removal.

Utilising a dedicated team, Techenomics can assist you in developing a world class contamination control program which in the past has seen some of our clients reduce lubrication related failures by 80%, greatly improve the availability of plant and equipment, reduction in oil spend as well as a reduced volumes of waste hydrocarbons being removed from site.
