CASE STUDY 

EQUIPMENT:  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%.
