Oil Analysis / Tribology

Oil sampling is one of the easiest and most effective condition monitoring tools offered by MMS and can provide excellent predictive maintenance assistance. Trending particle counts can be an early sign of bearing and seal wear long before vibration analysis and thermal imaging techniques can be affective. Another powerful tool in your condition monitoring program.

Oil Analysis can highlight the following:

• ISO standard particle counts.
• Oil additives and contaminants.
• Analysis of wear metals.
• Ferrous debris content.
• Viscosity changes.
• Sample examination under a microscope.

General oil sampling does not need to be so in-depth and can just be the technique we use to advise you of when oil and lubricants should be changed, simple condition monitoring.

MMS can provide our clients with complete sampling kits, which contain; sample bottles, Pumps & tubing and all the necessary pre-paid return packaging.

MMS Engineers can also work with you and gather the samples as part of an on-site condition monitoring oil collection schedule.

Sample reports can be issued in 3-5 working days.

MMS wins contract at Staythorpe Power Station

MMS is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract to setup a comprehensive Condition Monitoring system at the new Staythorpe combined-cycle-gas turbine (CCGT) Power Station.

The station, owned by RWE, will have four generating units, which will be successively commissioned by the end of November 2010.

Once completed, the CCGT will have four generating units capable of producing around 1,650MW of electricity – enough to power around two million homes. It will reduce average annual CO2 emissions by up to 7.5 million tonnes compared to an existing coal-fired power station producing the same amount of electricity.
