Drilling rig: failure modes and monitoring solutions

A drilling rig is a machine used for drilling into the ground or into rocks when they are extremely rigid or require deep drilling. There are three main drilling techniques: Failure modes in drilling rig components Combustion engine faults This component is responsible for transforming thermal energy into mechanical energy, providing the driving force needed… Continue reading Drilling rig: failure modes and monitoring solutions

Wind turbines: how to increase the reliability of this asset

Wind turbine: learn about its main components and how to monitor this asset According to the National Electricity System Operator (ONS), wind power accounts for 10.9% of the Brazilian electricity matrix and is expected to reach 13.6% by 2025. This growth is linked to the pursuit of increased clean energy production, in order to honor… Continue reading Wind turbines: how to increase the reliability of this asset

Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know

Grain rolling mills are assets responsible for processing cereals in order to turn them into food suitable for animal digestion. Grain rolling takes place by passing the grain between two rollers, which can be smooth, knurled or grooved. This process crushes and fragments the grains. The nutritional value of the processed cereals is thus altered,… Continue reading Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know

Hydrocyclone: learn about the most common faults

Hydrocyclones are equipment used to separate solids from liquids or liquids of different densities. This asset has a cylindrical-conical vessel with a tangential inlet flow at the top, an outlet at the bottom (the apex) through which the denser or larger material is removed, if it is solid – called the underflow. As well as… Continue reading Hydrocyclone: learn about the most common faults
