Better Lubrication Reduces Monthly Costs for a Midstream Operator by $200K
1 PagesThis case study describes how a midstream gas operator dramatically reduced operating costs and improved turbine reliability by implementing a high-velocity lubrication oil flushing program. The solution eliminated recurring bearing failures, restored lubrication system cleanliness, reduced costly turbine outages, and avoided the need to purchase replacement electricity during downtime. The project delivered savings approaching $200,000 per month and was subsequently expanded to additional turbine systems. An ongoing oil sampling program was also introduced to detect emerging issues early and prevent future equipment failures.
