In todays highly competitive energy market where turbines are expected to be able to cope with flexible operational regimes one of the prime requirements is to remove water from lubricants as quickly as possible. Comocri has in the last year completed trials in numerous stations all of which have been successful and resulted in orders or commitments to order, in most cases the trials have highlighted problems to the turbine engineer that were not apparent previously and should in the course of time result in greater longevity of rotating parts.

Where the seal oil was part of a combined lubrication system a significant lowering of the dew point temperature was achieved.

In trials on dirty oil tanks, oil that was deemed to be out of spec was successfully brought back to usable specifications and in one trial documented by station personnel achieved the following ISO count results. From a start point of 24/19 the oil was cleaned to a ISO count of 13/10 and at the same time de-watered. 

Where water removal is carried out by other means we can offer equipment to de-oil the water discharge for it is our experience that these discharges can contain as much as 50% oil which place an enormous strain on the stations water clean up systems.

Where a station discharges straight to a watercourse we can offer equipment to de-oil the discharge to the Environmental Agency standard, not only do these units have exceptional efficiencies but are entirely self monitoring and do not allow out of specification discharges, thereby giving peace of mind to the station personnel and take away the threat of legal action for breaching environmental standards.

Where stations draw cooling water from riverborne sources we have the ability to remove particulates and bacteria to international standards our units are available in  10M3/hr to 3,000M3/hr modules.
