• Decreases in Flash point.

4. Effective heat transfer is hampered in heat transfer areas.

These are solvable issues by our products and expertise, let us look at them.

LEAKAGES THROUGH VALVE GLANDS ??? Pack with Macstar VF + Macstar 2800,

Valves packed with this Macstar combination, Macstar VF + Macstar 2800, are guaranteed for virtual zero leak performance till the life of valve.

The entire job of valve gland packing is undertaken by us and guarantees are absolute. The valves packed with Macstar combination are tagged and perform with almost no leakage.

LEAKAGES THROUGH GASKETTED JOINTS ??? Use Macgraph gaskets,

Macgraph gaskets are specifically developed for Thermic Fluid duty application. These are ready to use, cut to size gaskets which resists the leakages through gasketted joints.

LEAKAGES THROUGH PUMP GLAND ??? Pack with Macstar Hotpack.

Macstar Hotpack is ready to use, manufactured to size, Thermic fluid pump packing, in set form. It is manufactured according to the gland size. Data we require is OD of shaft / sleeve, ID of gland box and no. of rings, pumps packed with Macstar Hotpack are guaranteed for 0-5 drops / min. rate of leakage, offer phenomenal service life and excellent leakage control. Normally we have seen payback time with Macstar Hotpack is about 8 days only.

LEAKAGES IN CONTROL VALVE ??? Install Macstar CV Pack,

Macstar CV Pack is a ready to use, manufactured to size, control valve packing in set form. Again we require following date to manufacture the set,

• a
• OD of shaft or sleeves

• b
• ID of gland box

• c
• No. Of rings

Control valves packed with Macstar CV Pack have absolute control on leakage irrespective of no. of time control valves operates.

PACKING FOR THERMIC FLUID HEATER DOOR ??? Macstar Gold.

Macstar Gold is high temperature compatible Thermic Fluid heater door packing rope which resists the oxidation and does not reduce the size over the period of time. It seals the door perfectly and offers phenomenal service life. It is available in all forms, shapes and sizes.

ON-LINE THERMIC FLUID FILTRATION SYSTEM ??? System Fact-O.

Purpose : Filter out all the contaminants in Thermic Fluid system developed, generated acquired like carbon, ash, thick agglomerated oil, highly viscous oil, corrosion products etc. and keep the oil clean, free flowing.

System Fact-O is designed to filter out unwanted Thermic Fluid contaminants, On-Line i.e. without any shut down or down time to keep the circulating Thermic Fluid clean, free flowing and healthy.

Data we require for System Fact-O designing is as follows,

• a
• Total hold up volume.

• b
• Latest Thermic Fluid analysis report.

CLEAN SYSYEM OFF-LINE ??? DECARBONISE THE ENTIRE THERMIC FLUID ??? With Thermclean - XL

Thermclean ??? XL is oil based, decarbonising ??? cleaning compound to clean and decarbonise the Thermic Fluid system internals. It is to be mixed with oil and is circulated using the system pump. It will penetrate the carbon ??? carbonaceous deposits, remove them off the metallic surface. After completion, remove the old oil from the system; fill up with a new oil and commission as recommended norm, slow heating basis.

CLEAN ??? DECARBONISE THE ENTIRE ON-LINE THERMIC FLUID SYSTEM ??? With Thermclean ??? OL

Thermclean ??? OL is oil based Thermic Fluid decarbonising compound, designed to remove the carbon and carbonaceous deposits from the system internals, On-Line, i.e. no shut down or down time basis. The removed contaminants will be trapped in System Fact-O, On-Line filtration system. It is also used to correct the acidity levels of Thermic Fluid. The strong antioxidant in Thermclean ??? OL overall protects the entire oil.

INCREASES THE FLASH POINT OF THERMIC FLUID ??? Operation UFP

Operation UFP is a service, under our supervision and guidance specifically targeted to increase flash point and fire point of the Thermic Fluid System. It is a controlled mechanism, under supervision, is carried out while the system is in operation.
The acidity level of TAN no. may increase which needs to be corrected using Thermclean ??? OL.
Installation of System Fact-O, which filters the carbon, On-Line, is a must.

INCREASES FLASH POINT OF THERMIC FLUID SYSTEM ??? System Relief

System Relief as the name suggest, is designed to relieve the operation and maintenance team from the Thermic Fluid related worries and troubles. Whenever Thermic Fluid is heated, the low boilers are generated and needed to be vented out effectively and efficiently as they are thermally not stable. They tend to produce carbon, carbonaceous matter, polymerized matter etc. Low boilers also tend to bring down the flash point of the oil which necessitates the change of total oil from safety point of view. These low boilers are removed from the system through deaeration tank. Sometimes they are undersigned or not efficient in removal of low boilers, hence low boilers start accumulating in the system.
It can also be installed in the plant if your dearation tank is not performing well due to less of viscosity of Thermic Fluid.

CONVERT YOUR WATER COOLED PUMP TO AIR COOLED PUMP ???

Only area (apart from process side), where water comes in contact with oil; is the Thermic Fluid pump gland cooling area, where water is used to cool the gland area. Scaling on this area decreases the heat transfer rate across gland area. Pin holes and cracks in the same, might cause water ingress into the system. Both these cases are highly risky and increase fire and accident hazards.
We have launched an air cooled replacement for water cooled pumps, which is oil to oil cooling, finally cooled by air. Pump conversion is a very simple activity and technique now.

INSTALLATION FOR VALVES AND FLANGES ??? With Insulation Pads.

Insulating Valves and Flange is a tricky operation as it has got uneven, intricate shape and leakages pose a fire hazard, a big safety concern. Insulation Jackets.
Insulation Jackets for valves and flanged joints. Normally insulations in Thermic fluid system is done with glass wool or rock wool, with specific thickness, cladded with Aluminium. Problems with this type of insulation is,

• a
• Leakages through valve glands and through flanges go unnoticed.

• b
• Leaked oil gets absorbed in insulation itself which is a very big safety hazard.

Our insulation jackets are non oil absorbing, easy to apply and easy to be taken out whenever required.

THERMIC FLUID SYSTEM AUDIT ???

The difficulties and problems in operations pose a much bigger risks, i.e. fire hazard. Secondly the effective heat transfer issue. All the issues pertaining to effective operation and maintenance of Thermic Fluid System can be addressed by.
The purpose of audit is that Thermic Fluid System operates at the peak of its efficiency, without any problems and difficulties, without any fire hazard and Thermic fluid should give optimum life.

          1.  To find out the reasons for known and unknown problems in the Thermic Fluid System.
          2.  To improve Thermic fluid operations and up - time of the system.
          3.  To remove the perennial problematic areas.
          4.  look into every aspect of the Thermic Fluid System in order to improve the same.
          5.  To make the system operations safer.
          5.  Walk through audit, to check all systems to identify seen - unseen problematic areas. It can result into
               planning and combining of reactive & preventive measures, to solve the problems.
