What to do if an OEM fails to deliver on routine maintenance
Routine refurbishment of important rotating machinery is vital for continued, reliable operation but if the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fails to deliver an optimum service, what other options are available? H&P reports
How much do air leaks really cost?
We all know that compressed air leaks are a huge source of energy (and money) waste, but do you know how much they really cost? After conducting around 60 surveys in different facilities from different industries, using an ultrasound camera, UE Systems concluded that the average leak would cost around £1200 per year. When you think that any industrial site will have dozens or even hundreds of leaks, you can quickly realise the savings potential. H&P reports.

Vigilant vacuum pump maintenance urged to bridge international standards gap
With few international standards surrounding air quality for vacuum pumps, and a growing grey market of economical, low-quality replacements, maintenance engineers are being reminded to remain vigilant and pay attention to maintenance schedules. H&P reports.
From short lifetimes to increased availability with compressor revamp
A global chemicals company operating two vertical Process Gas Compressors faced significant challenges including high leakages, reduced gas flow, temperature issues, and a short wear lifetime of parts. These problems led to frequent compressor shutdowns and wasteful energy consumption. A system integrity analysis by Burckhardt Compression identified inappropriate materials and designs as the root cause of all problems.
