An intelligent automated grease-dispensing system (AGS) developed by Weir-Jones Engineering of Vancouver, B.C. significantly reduces operational and maintenance costs and lowers the potential for human error in operations that deploy submerged pumps or equipment requiring regular lubrication that must be remotely verified.
The AGS was developed in 2013 for use in the tailings ponds by a multinational operator in an Alberta oil sands mining operation. It is capable of supplying bearing and sealing greases to pumps located as much as 200 feet under water.
The system is ideal for the oil and gas sector and other industries that operate under extreme conditions where remotely operated equipment must be regularly maintained and its maintenance status confirmed.
In addition to submersible pumps, AGS provides automated lubrication for equipment located in inaccessible or hazardous locations. This includes material handling equipment and conveyor transfer points and equipment in pipeline compressor stations.
