6 off LUBE OIL SYSTEMS FOR POWER PLANT

A new delivery of LOS for an important Pumps manufacturer have been supplied by RIVI.
In this case, the final destination for these lube oil systems is a Power Plant in Kuwait, Az Zour, which is contracted by Siemens Power Generation.
The application of the oil systems, constructed in accordance with ANSI, API, etc is the lubrication of bearings of Boiler Feed Water Pumps and Motor.
Each system supply 40 lts/min of ISO VG 32 oil. A tank made of carbon steel and rest of lubrication components mounted on top, to cool and filter (25 microns) the oil, and control the pressure and temperature.
Four pressure switches are installed to alarm for Low pressure, trip the auxiliary pump, High pressure, and Low Low pressure.
An ultrasonic (vibration) sensor is installed to control minimum level of oil in the tank.
A differential pressure switch controls the filter element saturation.
You can see the pictures, to check the previous design, and final manufacturing of the LOS.
Please, send your suggestions or inquiries to fernando.bagues@rivi.net

RIVI DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE LUBE OIL SYSTEMS FOR API 611 STEAM TURBINES, FOR PETRO-CHEMICAL PLANT IN CHINA

A new lube oil system have been designed in the technical department of RIVI, for Sinopec Project, sited in China. In this case, the lube oil units are going to be manufactured to lubricated the bearings of Main Boiler Feed Water Pumps, driven by Steam Turbines, according to API 611.

API 614, CH. 3 FOR PETRO-CHEMICAL PLANT IN CHINA

A new project to lubricate the bearings of High Pressure pump and Driver is being designed for the Chinesse Company Sinopec. In this case, an API 614, chapter 1 & 3 with a flow rate for ISO VG 32 oil, 50 lts/min, is needed. The lube oil system include the following characteristics:

- Oil reservoir made of AISI 304, designed in accordance to the definition of the levels included in API 614 (amplianced to chapter 2, to provide more safety).

You can link directly with the datasheets of the components.

- Weld pad level gage, type UWR.

- Level transmitter, differential pressure type, 2" ANSI flanged.

- Bimetallic Thermometers, heavy duty series, stainless steel.

- Globe valves, CFM8 body, AISI 316 trim, ANSI 150 lbs.

- Pressure gauges, 0-16 kg/cm2, 4 1/2" dial diam.

- Excess pressure valve / relief valve, 1" ANSI 150 lbs.

- Oil-Water cooler, constructed according with TEMA C, ASME VIII, Div. 1.

- Duplex oil Filter, ASME VIII, Div 1, 20 microns of filtration grade.

- Differential pressure gauge, 0-2.5 kg/cm2 to filter clogging indication.

- Pressure transmitter, with digital indicator.

- Main lube oil pump, screw type, shaft-driven.

Nowadays the system is still manufacturing in RIVI work-shop, and it will be delivered the next January.

RIVI & ITALPRORAMAR JOINT EFFORTS TO PROMOTE LUBE OIL SOLUTIONS FOR POWER, OIL&GAS AND NAVAL MARKET IN ITALY

RIVI is congratulated to wellcome to the company ITALPRORAMAR as a new dealer in the Italian Market. We are proud to work with them, because they have an excellent history providing different solutions for naval, power and oil&gas customers. It´s a very good chance to introduce our lube oil systems, and other fluid solutions.

I would like to introduce our new partner. I wish you a lot of success in our new venture.

ITALPRORAMAR has been established in Genova in 1973 by Mr. Antonino Guarrera, together with a Group of Shipchandlers from the major ports of Italy.
The project was very innovative and ambitious for these times, and had the aim to supply the Ship with an omogeneous offer in everyone of these Harbours.
Unfortunately a "network frame" project like this one did not have the necessary "tools", like fax and e-mail, in order to be successfully managed, and so the other parners gradually left, leaving to the Genoa Office all commercial activity.
A number of very well known Sales representatives have then been achieved during the years, not only for the marine field but also in maintenance and lubrication of Gas Turbines.
A stock for marine lubricants has been established in Genoa, today covering Italian Area, South of France and Malta.
Since the very beginning the environmental theme has been carefully followed and developed, so promoting anti-pollution advanced equipments and only biodegradable chemicals, no-toxic for the human beings.
Now we are also involved in LUBE OIL SYSTEMS (acc. API 610, API 614, API 611...), Safety, selling lifeboats, escaping devices for ferries and fire doors.
Spare parts for engines and various machineries are sold from selected alternative sources, in order to provide the Ship with the best price/quality value.
Last but not least, we are supplying aluminium panels and complete prefabricated block for passangers ships, and also complete superstructures and helidecks, all built throught the Friction Stir Welding innovative technology, for which we are the sole representative in Italy.

Many thank ITALPRORAMAR for your work, and your trust.

For further information in Italy, you can contact to info@italproramar.com or sales@italproramar.com, Ms. Carmelita Guarrera and Mr. Roberto Roggero.
