Centrifuges

Design/Project Engineering & Execution Phase

  1. Bid review, selection, specifications.
  2. Centrifuge design appraisals.
  3. Rotordynamics design appraisals (lateral, torsional).
  4. Review of hardware design & construction drawings with OEM engineers/experts.
  5. Centrifuge assembly inspection, balancing and shop testing.
  6. Installation & commissioning and performance examination during warrantee period.

Operational Phase

  1. Reliability & Mission time (extension studies).
  2. Performance gap/stretch studies.
  3. Centrifuges malfunctions diagnosis and cure (low-high density liquid separation issue, vibration, noise, resonance, lube oil, thermal signature, mechanical performance).
  4. Best practices of centrifuges condition monitoring, operation and maintenance.
  5. Condition-based inspection & maintenance schemes and decisions.
  6. On/off-lines condition monitoring schemes.
  7. Root cause investigation of distressed components, failure and restoration (shaft, bearings, seals, casing distortion, foundation).
  8. Life cycle cost & remaining life assessment.
