Common Pump Bearing Problems and How to Solve Them
D3.1 Common Pump Bearing Problems and How to Solve Them
Keith Brand – Business Development Manager – Thordon Bearings Inc.
There are a number of issues that relate to bearing failures in a pump. Such failures can have catastrophic results. Choosing the correct bearing for the application can help insure reliable pump service. The author examines a variety of pump bearings, comparing their strengths and weaknesses.

Rotating to a Green World
D3.2 Rotating to a Green World
Vivek Narayanan – Infosys Consulting
Conventional Oil & Gas (O&G) and Power Generation industries have a plethora of rotating equipment and associated data collected and analyzed over several years. Organizations in these areas will require significant course corrections to achieve green-energy targets and there will be a lot of lessons learned in the transition. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss how to leverage predictive/prescriptive analysis of data collected from rotating equipment installed in upstream and downstream O&G facilities to optimize performance and output from offshore / onshore wind farms.
Michael McClure
Stop the Unplanned Downtime
D3.3 Stop the Unplanned Downtime
Michael McClure – Reliability Testing Services
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the challenges that Maintenance departments face today and the strategies that can be embraced to improve their efficiencies. Maintenance monitoring technologies have been in the market for years but improvement in their utilization is a continuous goal. How will that be achieved when Maintenance resources are limited, shrinking and compounded by a retiring, experienced workforce. With a goal of continuous improvement, leveraging emerging technologies is critical in Maintenance departments achieving their goal of eliminating Unplanned Downtime and its associated costs.

On-site Generation – Sustainability and Infrastructure (Virtual)
D1.3 Using on-site generation projects to drive sustainability and Infrastructure Improvement
Pete Kelly – Head of Engineering – Red Tree Engineering
The presentation will focus on industry experience and current economic modeling for three typical onsite power generation options at industrial facilities: (1) new combined heat and power, (2) energy storage options, and (3) back-up gensets. The advantages of each option will be explored in the context of facility resiliency and GHG reduction.
Project best practices for integrating the project into host facilities and practical considerations for successful project completion will be covered, along with applications of innovative design, procurement, and construction package sequencing to maximize schedule efficiency and reduce project risk.

Remote Inservice Oil Condition Monitoring – it’s for real “Real Time”
D3.4 Remote Inservice Oil Condition Monitoring – it’s for real “Real Time”
Rodney Sims – Industrial Lubrication Services
Oil analysis the leading indicator of machinery issues but currently a time lag in testing methods
- Mobile Oil Testing – On Site Analysis
- Online – Continuous Monitoring
- Digital Technology –Face Recognition Software
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the challenges that Maintenance departments face today and the strategies that can be embraced to improve their efficiencies. Oil condition monitoring technologies have been in the market for years and the continuous improvements are impressive and lend their self to utilization in a comprehensive maintenance plan. How will that be achieved when maintenance resources are limited, shrinking and compounded by a retiring experienced workforce? Continuous improvement, leveraging and embracing the emerging technologies is critical in Maintenance departments achieving their goal of eliminating costly unexpected downtime and increasing profitable uptime.

Using Fluid Analysis to achieve Proactive Management of Assets
D3.5 Using Fluid Analysis to achieve Proactive Management of Assets
John Dengel – ALS
ALS provides fluid analysis for power generation equipment, such as transformers, turbines, Turbo Machinery, Pumps, and all types of industrial equipment and assets. These fluid analysis programs are designed around the unique challenges and regulations necessary to keep your equipment in safe, working, order. This includes Transformer oil analysis; Turbine & Industrial oil testing, etc. The goal is not only to diagnose issues; but ideally to move into a predictive and proactive environment for your assets through trending analysis and AI to minimize or eliminate potential costly outages. A compelling ROI can be achieved by minimizing equipment downtime, permit more efficient maintenance scheduling, protect warranty claims, and increase equipment resale value. ALS provides fluid testing across many industries and a variety of testing services for oil, fuel, coolant, grease, metalworking fluid, and transformer oil. ALS does through Lab testing of the Fluids and/or utilizing sensors that provide a real-time, in-line fluid sensing technology for the detection of:
1. Metallic Wear Debris and particulates in a lubrication system.
2. Monitoring oil health for health state of lubricating fluids by providing continuous insight
3. Overall fluid quality
All in a manner of providing Actionable Information to our Clients that is meaningful that will allow for lower-cost corrective actions rather than conventional schedule based maintenance

Lime Cost Reduction for DFGD
D2.5 Lime Cost Reduction for DFGD
John Buschmann – MS Technology Inc.
The lime used for SO2 removal is one of the largest operating costs in a Dry FGD system. The quality of lime used, and the reagent preparation procedure before feeding the lime to the scrubber, has a significant effect on the reactivity of the lime with SO2. The water quality used for lime hydration and the temperature conditions in the hydration process are the primary variables in the reagent preparation process. Regular quality control tests on the purchased lime and the on site hydration process can result in significant cost savings.
