INTRODUCTION
Eurobadalla council, a shire located some 400 km s south west of
Sydney trialed N IS Tungsten
Disulphide spherical particles (IF-W S2) at an 8% concentration in
gear oil on two aerator units at one of their five water treatment
plants. The water plant dreads 9.5 million liters off fluent per day
servicing the tow ns in Eurobadalla shire. There are 25 aerators on
these plants and all25 units are now operating using gear oil
containing 8% IF-W S2. Each aerator holds about 30 liters of gear Environment
oil and careful monitoring will determine if oil life extensions are
possible to increase the financial benefits to the shire in addition to Extreme temperature regimes,
the energy saving of about 32,000 KW h pa, per aerator unit. humidity and presence of water
Air Contamination
PROBLEM
Dust and fine metal particles
present a threat to machineries
High cost of energy which the shire councils w ants to reduce. and personnel
Equipment Stress
Machineries are subject to
extremely heavy loads and
extreme pressure
Maintenance
Many equipment’s to maintain
with limited man power
