newsWHITE METAL or Babbitt bearings are used in a wide variety of rotating machinery and, just like conventional roller or ball bearings, they need to be replaced when they reach the end of their service life. Replacements can be manufactured by specialists such as Sulzer’s Southampton Service Center, which has recently upgraded its facilities.
articleThe offshore energy industry, whether it is oil and gas or offshore wind, is one underpinned by remote and distributed assets, critical operations and harsh environments. As such, it’s one of the prime sectors to benefit from digitisation and embedded technologies to support improved maintenance and monitoring
newsIndustrial customers require insights into the behavior of their assets to proactively plan maintenance across their production facilities. Commonly referred to as ‘condition monitoring’, this is achieved by measuring and trending operational parameters such as bearing unit temperature and vibration that give an indication of the asset’s condition
newsThe business of offshore oil and gas extraction is beset with challenges, not least maintaining productivity and reliability in a harsh working environment whilst ensuring staff safety. So, delivering routine maintenance services requires a concerted team effort, such as that demonstrated by Sulzer when replacing a large motor from an oil production vessel in the North Sea.
newsScientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT have come up with a striking new addition to contact stamping technologies in the ERDF research project ScanCut
productSulzer’s HST turbocompressors were specifically designed for the water industry’s need for high volume, low pressure air to feed aeration tanks. Four of the company’s first-generation HST 2500 machines have been doing that job for almost two decades at the Deventer wastewater treatment plant in the Netherlands. Now the plant’s owners have worked with Sulzer engineers to upgrade its existing units with three latest generation machines.
newsFor those in the energy industry, being able to identify pre-failure conditions and anomalous operation can offer a considerable advantage to a repeatable budget and bottom-line margins. Using this intelligence to permanently remove failure modes through retrofit solutions will further extend the service life of rotating equipment. Seth Tate, Technical Advisor with Sulzer, looks at how a cutting-edge software solution can analyse existing pump telemetry to reduce downtime and justify engineering improvements.
