Location: Weld County, Colorado
Generator: Cummins 275 kW Diesel Generator
Industry: Well Sites – Supplying water to homes and industrial facilities
Project Overview
Our customer requested a quarterly preventive maintenance (PM) inspection and service for their Cummins 275 kW generator. This generator serves a well site, which is critical for maintaining water distribution during power outages.
Well Site Power Needs
- Well sites generally require less chemical treatment compared to facilities sourcing water from natural resources (e.g., rivers or reservoirs).
- The main power need is to ensure pumps distribute water to the utility grid reliably.
- Emergency generators are vital; without power, pumps cannot supply water, leading to a rapid depletion of system water reserves.
Quarterly Maintenance Tasks Performed
- Visual Inspection
- Inspected the generator and its components for wear, damage, or potential issues.
- Engine Start Battery Test
- Load-tested the battery to confirm it holds adequate charge for reliable starts.
- Oil and Coolant Sampling
- Collected samples for lab analysis to detect any abnormalities in the engine’s condition.
- Engine Start and Run Test
- Started the engine and let it run to operating temperature to verify proper function.
- Running Inspection
- Monitored the generator and engine performance while running to identify any irregularities.
- Shutdown Inspection
- Shut down the generator after reaching operating temperature and inspected for issues during cooldown.
- Generator Breaker Closure
- Ensured the generator breaker was closed to maintain readiness for emergency operation.
Outcome
After completing the maintenance inspection and tests, the generator was placed back into auto operation, ensuring it is ready to supply power during the next utility outage.
