Measured outcomes
Every engagement closes with a signed report showing the baseline condition, what was changed, and the verified result. No engagement is called successful on the strength of an opinion.
Note for the Malina team: every case study on this page is a worked example showing the intended structure and level of detail. Before this page goes live, replace each one with a real engagement, use the client's verified figures, and obtain written permission to publish, naming the client or anonymising them as the permission allows.
Engagements
Each one names the sector, the system, the intervention and the figure that moved.
Power generation · Gas turbine
42 → 11MPC ΔE over 90 days
A 2 500 litre turbine lube system had sat in the alarm band for varnish potential for three consecutive quarters, with two slow starts attributed to control valve stiction.
Deposit-control fluid was dosed live at 4 % with a 25 L/min kidney loop running throughout. Filter elements were changed twice during the clean-up as deposit came back into solution.
Oil & gas · Hydraulic power unit
18 → 3Valve faults per year
Repeat sticking on directional control valves had been treated as a valve quality problem and answered with replacements. Oil analysis showed 640 ppm water and a soft deposit load.
Vacuum dehydration brought water inside limits, and correctly sized desiccant breathers stopped humid air re-wetting the reservoir on every thermal cycle.
Manufacturing · Compressor fleet
4 yrsCharge life, still in service
A fixed 12-month oil change schedule across a compressor fleet was replaced with condition-based change-out after a full baseline showed most charges were being discarded with over half their oxidative life remaining.
Quarterly sampling with defined caution and alarm limits now triggers change-out. Two units have been changed on data in four years; the rest remain in service.
Marine · Deck hydraulics
21/19/15 → 16/14/11ISO 4406 cleanliness code
Crane and winch hydraulics were running four ISO codes above the manufacturer's limit, with pump replacements running well ahead of expected life.
Offline filtration on a scheduled rotation, sealed transfer containers and a corrected top-up procedure brought cleanliness inside limits and held it there between port calls.
Cement · Kiln drive gearbox
63 %Reduction in filter consumption
A kiln drive gearbox was consuming filter elements at a rate that made filtration the single largest lubrication cost on the line, while wear metals continued to climb.
The programme addressed ingress first, seal condition, breather specification and housekeeping around the fill point, before any change to filtration or fluid.
Data centre · Standby generation
100 %Successful start rate maintained
Standby generator sets spend almost all their life idle, and a cold reservoir condenses water out of humid air every night, degradation that a run-hours-based schedule never sees.
Calendar-based sampling regardless of run hours, plus desiccant breathers and water activity monitoring, replaced a maintenance routine built entirely around operating time.
