Recovering Specialist Thermal Fluid After £80k Replacement
System Type
Specialist thermal fluid system
The Challenge
Within six months of spending over £80,000 on a full thermal fluid change, the site experienced a significant drop in flashpoints and fire point.
Confidence in the system and fluid integrity was reduced.
The Solution
TFS undertook a full OPC® analysis to identify the root cause of degradation.
For approximately 10% of the cost of fluid replacement, TFS:
- Removed flammable degradation components online
- Removed iron contamination online
- Removed acid online
- Improved fluid characteristics beyond post-change levels
TFS also delivered a PACT™ TOTAL Audit, including:
- GAP analysis
- Improvement plan
- Energy efficiency review
- Operator and maintenance training
- KPIs to support fluid life
- Emergency response and escalation prevention procedures
The Result
- Fluid restored without replacement
- Safety and reliability improved
- Energy consumption reduced
- Operator capability strengthened
- Long-term system improvement plan implemented
