Case Studies

SKL Maintenance Systems Corporation case study APAC0017 – Chesterton products – Chesterton Industrial Lubricants

Lube-oil plates are almost always exposed to harsh chemicals and environments when applied in the marine industry. An extreme build-up of carbon and scale deposits can occur and cause efficiency issues with the potential of halting activity completely. Solvents such as Chesterton® 346 Descaler and Chemical Cleaner and Chesterton® 803 Industrial and Marine Solvent II are the perfect solutions for breaking down build-up and getting your lube-oil plates back up to standard and in tip-top shape with no worries.

Products featured in the case study:

• Chesterton® 346 Descaler and Chemical Cleaner
• Chesterton® 803 Industrial and Marine Solvent II

Chesterton 803 Industrial and Marine Solvent II

During maintenance, problems were encountered when checking lube-oil cooler plates with the following concerns:

• Extreme carbon and scale deposits
• Toxic odor of chemical during cleaning which results also in damaging the plates

Heavy carbon deposits on lube-oil plate

A combination of two Chesterton® products were prescribed and together formed the perfect, unique solution for the client’s concerns.

Chesterton 346 Descaler and Chemical Cleaner was used to remove heavy scales. It has a special inhibitor to prevent any possible attack on base metal surfaces.

Chesterton 803 Industrial and Marine Solvent II was applied to remove carbon deposits.

Chesterton 803 IMS II can be applied on a wide range of surfaces with great success
