Wärtsiläsent back its materials specialists to school so that they could train in tribology, along with teams from all over the world. The course is a mix between theoretical training applied to the various engine parts and an analysis of concrete cases.
EVNA, a waste-to-energy plant, asked Cetim to assess the toothed wheel of a steam turbine. The analysis of its remaining useful life confirmed that it could continue to be used while the replacement wheel was being manufactured.
The manufacturer of equipment and tools for winegrowing, fruit growing and garden maintenance asked Cetim to optimise the high-speed gear train of its C35/C45 electric pruning shears.
A comprehensive fault analysis carried out quickly and efficiently on a bridge enabled French temporary structures specialist Locapal to make the rights decisions without delay.
Perenco consulted Cetim in order to understand the root causes of damage to the dome of a crude oil distillation tower. In three months, Cetim’s experts were able to identify the problems, recommend material changes and review the welding procedures.
With the signature of a multiannual failure analysis contract with Cetim, EDF Ceidre has enhanced its immediate response capability and has embarked upon a long-term partnership.
