A long-lived, efficient heating system relies on proper maintenance and regular cleaning. Industries that use hydraulic or lubrication systems need oil flushing to keep equipment in good working condition.  Although there are three main different methods of industrial oil flushing they all serve the same basic purpose. Removing contaminants from hydraulic and lube oil systems. […]

Guest Post: Professor Alina Adriana Minea Fluids are essential for many heat transfer processes in the majority of engineering equipment. Conventional heat transfer fluids include water, ethylene glycol, thermal, and engine oils.  Modern processes present a tremendous need for enhancing thermal processes. Especially regarding finding new solutions that may favor the miniaturization of components for […]

Guest Post: Kyle Petitt Renewable Energy Renewable energy technologies have historically struggled to compete with fossil fuel energy production. Renewables provide clean, carbon emission-free energy production. But, until recently, have been more expensive to produce and maintain than their petroleum-based counterparts [1]. Each method of renewable energy production has its own challenges. Existing fossil fuel […]

Coalescer filter systems are a key component of Canada’s oil and gas industry. These specialized filtration systems are integral to purifying the hydrocarbon mix, and are an important component of larger separation units. Without a coalescer, oil and gas processors would be unable to refine their product, or protect their refining equipment from corrosion that […]

Any industry that works with electric heaters of any kind needs to be aware of thermal fatigue. This type of ongoing thermal stress on your electric heater can easily cause a failure of the machinery, leading to catastrophic losses while endangering the safety and security of your team. Efficient industrial heater maintenance requires the ability […]
