Contamination Control
Contamination can have a dramatic effect on the life and effectiveness of equipment, resulting in increased wear rates and damage, loss of equipment reliability and reduced component efficiency. As equipment continues to become more complex and manufactured with tighter clearances, system contamination is increasingly important to control maintenance costs and improve equipment reliability.
The Cost Reduction Game
At Shell, we approach total cost of ownership by identifying eight distinct factors that turn the wheel of equipment reliability, and we examine each of these factors when assessing a plant’s need. Learn about these and more in this white paper.
Five Tips for Turbine Oil System Care and Maintenance
One of the biggest concerns among turbine users is unplanned downtime. Although oil quality is critical to successful turbine operation, proper system maintenance is equally important to avoid this disruptive and costly scenario. Learn about these and more in this white paper.
