Industrial Domains
Heavy industries such as mining, oil & gas, and industrial plants are pivotal for global infrastructure but face significant operational challenges. These industries often grapple with severe labor shortages, high operational costs, and complex safety risks due to rugged and remote environments. OFIL Systems addresses these challenges by offering solutions that enhance safety, reduce operational costs, and improve equipment and workforce management. Our technology provides critical insights that empower businesses to monitor and optimize their operations effectively, ensuring equipment is used efficiently and safely, which is vital for maintaining productivity and operational continuity.
Mining
The Challenge
Mining operations depend on reliable power for heavy machinery and processing plants, often located in remote, harsh environments. Substations powering these facilities face unique challenges:
Dust and debris accumulation, leading to insulation contamination and arcing.
Extreme temperatures, accelerating wear on insulators and transformers.
Vibration and stress, damaging components and causing corona partial discharge (PD).
Undetected PD weakens equipment over time, resulting in sudden failures, costly repairs, and production losses.
The Solution
OFIL Solar blind UV corona cameras detect UV emissions caused by corona PD, enabling early detection of faults like insulation damage and surface contamination. They allow inspections during operation without shutdowns, offering real-time visual data for precise diagnosis and repairs.
The Business Impact
For mining facilities, integrating UV corona cameras into maintenance routines ensures:
- Proactive maintenance, reducing unplanned outages.
- Enhanced safety, by mitigating risks of electrical fires.
- Extended equipment lifespan, addressing issues before escalation.
