Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant PROLONG
PRODUCT USED: Prolong AFMT Summary Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant uses Prolong
Anti-Friction Metal Treatment in several applications including clarifying pond
actuators and primary pumps. One of the primary pumps which is driven by an
electric motor through a heavy-duty gearbox lost a gearbox oil seal on a Friday
night after hours, and all of its lubricating oil drained out.
This was discovered on Monday morning, and the pump was still running
perfectly, with only the residual Prolong to protect it. Results The seal was replaced, fresh oil was added (including
a booster of Prolong), and the pump was returned to service in a very short
time. Maintenance engineers estimated that Prolong saved
the city, $40,000 to $60,000 in gearbox repair or replacement cost, not counting
the cost of extended downtime. As an additional benefit at this facility the
ammeters monitoring the Prolong-treated systems show an average power
requirement reduction of at least 25%. |
