Frederickson Power

A GEM of a Unit for Frederickson Power




By Ric Chernesky
Frederickson Power


Frederickson Power is a combined cycle electrical

generating facility that has utilized CCECO equipment

since 2003 to remove contamination particles and water

in all our steam turbine oils. We have effectively and

consistently maintained a low ISO rating of around

12/11/9 with CCECO technology.  We have no evidence

of excess hydraulic varnish being created and oxidation

levels stay very low.


There is a lot of discussion in the industry today concerning

fine micron filtration & oil polishing.  CCECO’s GEM units are

the best we have tested.  We have considered other

conditioning techniques such as centrifuges, electrostatics,

balance charge agglomeration and adsorption and researched

which is the best for addressing varnish, oxidation, sludge and

water in our oil.  There are pros and cons with each of these

other methods but for us here at Frederickson Power and the

oil conditions we encounter, we have proven success in

maintaining our turbine oils with CCECO fine micron filtration

technology.


Our conditioning program is augmented with a diligent oil

analysis program through CCECO. We methodically monitor

oil conditions (oxidation, thermal degradation, contamination

and additive depletion) and oil physical and chemical properties

(viscosity, acidity, oxidation stability, and other changes).

Testing to date, indicates good oil conditions and properties with

a minor propensity to varnish which validates our success.  CCECO is a partner in our maintenance program and has significantly helped reduce MRO costs in our operations.

Paper Mill Saves Immediately

Oil, Equipment & Downtime


Simpson Tacoma Kraft Paper Mill Off-Line Kidney Loop Filtration.


When a CCECO GEM-100 industrial series was installed on the Chemi-Washer drive system at Simpson the results were immediate. Within 40 hours, the GEM-100, that “turns” the reservoir volume several times per shift, and had an ISO 14/11 for system oil cleanliness.  


According to Simpson, the return on investment (about $4,500 initial cost, including element and connections/fittings, and $175 for replacement element) is extremely good. The reduction of in-line filter change-outs alone can pay for the installation within a year.  Far greater savings have been realized by reduced oil and equipment replacement, repair costs, and downtime, with maintenance intervals extended more than twofold.  The CCECO unit is also quality construction, with user-friendly features for ease of operation.
