Case Studies

- Historical Success with Sloan Lubrication SystemsCompany: Dominion Industry: Natural Gas Services: Design & Installation, Tech Support Products: Lubricators The Problem Isn't the real goal to get it done right the first time and avoid problems? We think so. And so does Dominion Transmission. They called Sloan Brothers to install a complete, new Dual Zone Watchman Lubrication System on unit #1 of their Sabinsville Compressor Station. The specs: Clark HBA5-3 Integral Engine/Compressor; 1,100HP @ 300 RPM; 15 feeds to Power for 33 Pints/24 Hours, 6 Feeds to Compressor Rod Packing for 6 Pints/24 Hours. Installation was completed by a two-man crew in just 16.5 hours on site. That's all components installed, 310 linear feet of stainless steel tubing expertly run and strapped down, all system operations fully tested, and engine on line. The Solution Dominion Transmission knew that with Sloan Brothers there would be no problem. You see, Sloan Brothers supplied the first five HBA systems in 1965 when the station was Consolidated Natural Gas. In 1980, some were replaced new along with two new TLA systems. Several more systems were replaced in 1993 – and in 1999 when the compressor cylinders were converted to non-lube. In 2006 through 2009 we installed four more new systems. We have a long history of proven solutions – and no problems – at this site. The Result Sloan Brothers has been involved with Sabinsville Station for over 40 years, and they have had no trouble with their lubrication systems. We know how to build customer loyalty....Read
- Reduced Oil Consumption Cleans the Pipeline and the Air as WellCompany: Columbia Gas Industry: Natural Gas Services: Consulting, Design & Installation Products: Divider Blocks The Problem Keith Schaefer, from Columbia Gas Kenova Compressor Station in West Virginia, asked Sloan Brothers to assist him in reviewing his lubrication rates on four Cooper Bessemer GMWA8-2 engine-driven compressors. These eight-cylinder units develop 2,000 HP at 250 RPM and drive two 18" bore x 20" stroke compressor cylinders. Sloan Brothers first worked with this Columbia Gas compressor station in 1964. At the time, the recommended lubrication rates were 64 pints per 24 hours to the power cylinders and 24 pints per 24 hours to the compressor throws. The Solution Sloan Brothers began the rate reviews by pressure-testing the lubrication system components to verify that they were in good condition, particularly the divider blocks. In order to enable lubrication rate reduction it is imperative that these metering devices make accurate deliveries at the lower volumes. As a result, many were replaced with Sloan Brothers SB series to ensure the most accurate deliveries possible at lower rates. Pump capacities were addressed, terminal check valves replaced, and with the new divider blocks, the lube rates were reduced to 55 pints per 24 hours to power and 14 pints per day to compressor. This was a good start, but Keith was still concerned about carbon buildup in his power cylinder ports and oil carryover to the downstream pipeline. The Result Due to the accuracy and dependability of the new SB divider blocks, Keith was eventually comfortable adjusting deliveries down to 38 pints per day to power and 6 pints per day to compressor, resulting in yearly oil savings of $3,707. Comparing 1964 rates to today, that is more than five gallons of oil each day that isn’t being burned and spewed out the exhaust stack as smoke or sent down the pipeline where it must be removed as hazardous waste. As a bonus, cylinder liners, rings, riders and other wear components also lasted much longer between overhauls. All these improvements were made possible with just a few tweaks and the reliability of Sloan Brothers products and expertise....Read
