Every facility has lubricated assets that must be managed, but not every facility knows how best to get started—or how to get it right the first time.

In this presentation, Paul Hiller (ICML) and Martin Williamson (KEW Engineering, Uptime101) will briefly describe the 12 interrelated areas of a successful, sustainable, audit-ready Lubrication Management System (LMS) as presented in the complete ICML 55 Standard for lubricated asset management, while also discussing the value proposition of the ICML 55 in proper context with training and certifications.

As a contributor to the initial ICML 55.1 (2019) Requirements document, and as a longtime ICML training partner, Martin lends his unique perspective to this discussion. He is well-positioned to describe trends that he has seen with certification candidates in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market, as well as his thoughts regarding where APAC should expect to reap the most benefits when applying the ICML 55 Standard.

This session is aimed at Maintenance & Reliability leaders, asset planners and practitioners at asset-rich facilities who are tasked with the planning, design, implementation, and review of lubrication management activities, including contractual resources, service providers, and advisors. Attendees considering organizational compliance with the broader ISO 55000:2014 will recognize that applying the lubrication-specific ICML 55 Standard will be a helpful and necessary “stepping stone” on the path to excellence.

The Audience will learn how to take the first step towards unlocking your assets and asset management potential by applying:

• SAS-AM’s Asset Dependability Assurance Framework (ADAF), NSW Health and SAS Asset Management manufactured a paradigm shift in the management of the critical assets and systems.
• its core principles of Practical, Pragmatic and Agile, SAS Asset Management helped NSW Health overcome significant challenges with respect to missing asset data to produce a 10-year asset management plan for each of its critical systems.

They will also learn how to break the cycle and position your organisation on the path towards continuous asset management improvement.

Greg and Sanya recently released their book, "Preventing Turbomachinery 'Cholesterol' - The story of varnish published by Industrial Press Inc. In their presentation, they will be talking about some of the myths surrounding varnish. 

Oil can be considered the lifeblood of our machines and practices that we employ with our machines are similar to what we do in regular life. Our machines need to be healthy (just like our bodies), so we take oil samples (similar to blood tests) and determine if we have the correct quantities of good stuff and not too much of the bad stuff. 

In this session, they will discuss some key concepts which are covered in the book such as preventing deposits and a couple of the technologies which can be used to prevent varnish. 

The objective of this presentation is to present the ferrography analysis of wear particles contained in used cylinder lubricant oil samples that collected from the main engine cylinder units of a commercial marine ship. TBN, Water and PH measurement, ferrography analysis and ICP-Elemental have been employed to extract the relevant information about the physical aspects of used cylinder oil and the wear condition of the parts from cylinder units in main engine. 

The study showed that the application of wear particle analysis and ferrography is an effective means to identify and respond to maintenance needs of marine ships in the main engines' cylinders. Ferrography is a technique in which wear debris and contaminant particles are separated from a lubricant, and arranged according to size on a transparent substrate for analysis.

The most efficient way to achieve sustainability goals is the adoption of technologies that helps in energy management, decarbonization, asset reliability, resilience, environmental goals, and many more.

Industry 4.0 is about marching toward digital transformation by integrating each asset or internal process starting from designing, supply chain, and usage of products till their end with more visibility, real-time data, cost reduction, and overall impact on the sustainable environment.

Some of the objectives for this session include;

Industrial oils can rapidly degrade and cause sludge, deposits, coking which leads to varnish on the machine internals. This has become more prevalent due to factors such as chemistry, operating conditions OEM designs etc.

This webinar will explain various degradation methods in industrial oils and explain how to monitor oil degradation (from a user's perspective) and prevent premature discarding of the oil.
