XADO pilot treatment: terms and application

Treatment of one unit of the plant under a method of instruction IE-24.6-25612000-005-2008 with measurements before and after; the result is recorded in a test report of the plant commission.

Obligations of the parties

XADO provides

  • compounds for the pilot treatment;
  • the component method from instruction IE-24.6-25612000-005-2008 with calculation of the compound quantity;
  • the report form, a filled example and analysis of the measurement results;
  • support by an XADO engineer throughout the cycle — support options.

The plant provides

  • a unit that meets the admission requirements;
  • access to the equipment for adding the compound and participation of technical staff in the measurements;
  • measurements before and after with the same instrument in the same mode, with the running time between them recorded;
  • a plant commission to confirm the measurements and sign the test report.

The compounds for the pilot treatment are provided at no charge. The terms of participation are set out in the pilot treatment contract.

Pilot treatment procedure

  1. Preparation of the lubrication system: elimination of leaks, flushing or replacement of filter elements.
  2. “Before” measurements according to the list in the component method.
  3. Adding the compound in stages at running-time intervals set by the component method: periods by component group.
  4. Normal operation until the end of the full treatment cycle.
  5. “After” measurements with the same instrument in the same mode.
