Waste Water Treatment Plants
Lubrication Engineers lubricants have found ready acceptance in wastewater plants of all kinds. The ability to operate under difficult environmental conditions, and deal with the corrosive and hostile chemistry of sewage treatment makes them very useful. Also the absence of any toxic ingredients or additives is an important feature.
Proper maintenance of the equipment in wastewater disposal has become more important as well as more complex. There have been many new technical developments and a great deal of modern equipment put into use. This advancement demands more highly trained people and a much better knowledge of maintenance, lubricants and their application. Lubrication is the lifeblood of any mechanical system, but even more so in wastewater treatment equipment, as it is constantly in contact with harsh contaminants such as acid, moisture, and dirt.
Anti-friction & plain bearings operate under shock loads, high speeds, temperature extremes and contaminants. These bearings are exposed to chemical corrosion, dirt and moisture. They are widely found in motors pumps, U-joints and shafts, exhaust fan bearings, countershafts, turntable reservoirs, grit washers, disintegrators, grinders and rakes, conveyors, furnace step bearing reservoirs, scum burners, heat exchangers, ash hopper doors, ash elevators, ash screw conveyors, primary clarifiers, and blowers.
Lubrication Engineers recommends:
For various other applications such as air compressors, pumps, hydraulics & turbines Lubrication Engineers recommend:MONOLEC Hydraulic Oil
For gear reducers in pump/lift stations, wet wells, bar/drum screens, sludge, sewage, sump, slurry, scum, and circulating and chemical feed pumps, grinders, sludge thickeners, centrifuges, flocculators, collectors, skimmers, digestors, conveyors, grit collectors & removers, incinerators, ash elevators, aerators, & worm gear cases and turntable oil reservoirs in primary and secondary clarifiers L.E. recommends:
For grease fittings found in valves and sluice gates, on bar screens and drum screens, collector/skimmers, tank and scale rollers, and chassis points on grounds keeping equipment L.E. recommends:
For chains & chain drives, Lubrication Engineers recommends:
For miscellaneous applications such as standby generators & grounds keeping equipment, L.E. recommends:
