Minimac accepted the challenge to filter 72 kiloliters of Oil within 72 hours

Success is FUELED by Challenges and Problems. One example of a thermal power plant, the UMPP (Ultra Mega Power Project) 2*800MW, had to deal with such a challenging problem.

An early shutdown of the unit in the 2021 plant is called an annual shutdown. During start-up, they found oil quality is not up to mark to circulate in the system. After cleaning 72 thousand liters of Oil, it was essential to operate the plant within 3 to 4 days to keep quality as per standard. The head of maintenance of the unit looked up to find a reliable and trustworthy name in the market for the work and then approached Minimac Systems Pvt. Ltd. for the rescue.

Manufacturer & Supplier of Oil Purification & Reconditioning Plants, Allied Machinery, & Laser Particle Counters. So the Minimac team took on the challenge – 72 hours to filter 72 kiloliters of Oil. It was a huge challenge, with the team familiar with its capabilities, but to drive the machine to the site and do the job on time was a big provocation. They sent the machine via truck and ultimately towed it with their own trucks. The installation took 8 hours, and they were thus prepared to hit the milestone.
