Case Studies

We help customers build safe, effective, and efficient systems. We pride ourselves on delivering the results our customers need in a wide variety of industries. 

To see solutions we have developed and deployed for others in the past, take a look at some of our case studies. From standby gen-sets to marine power installations to combined heat and power applications, Solberg has worked with them all.

 

Crankcase Ventilation for Greenhouse New CHP Engines: CAT G3516H

A large Caterpillar Power Systems dealer in Europe approached Solberg in 2013 as they were having challenges with their current crankcase ventilation system on three CAT G3516H gas engines. There was significant contamination of the turbo with oil mist from the crankcase. Maintaining a specific vacuum/suction level in the crankcase was also proving to be difficult.

Crankcase Ventilation for New CHP Engines: CAT G3512E

A power systems dealer was looking for a reliable closed crankcase solution. This was a new installation for three Caterpillar G3512E natural gas engines in the Mid-West United States.These engines were to be used in a CHP application.

Crankcase Ventilation for New Marine Diesel Engine: CAT C280-12

A Caterpillar Power Systems dealer was looking for a reliable crankcase ventilation solution. The solution needed to effectively capture oil mist and keep it out of the surrounding environment. This was a re-power of two boats receiving two new C280-12 marine propulsion engines.

Crankcase Ventilation for Marine Diesel Engines: Mitsubishi SR16-Y3MPTAW

A marine vessel was being outfit with a new Mitsubishi engine that would require a closed crankcase system. Solberg was contacted to provide a complete crankcase system to be used. The kit would include a high efficiency coalescing filter (99.97% @ 0.3um) with an integrated under pressure regulating valve along with multiple air cleaners, hoses, adapters and brackets.

Crankcase Ventilation for Fishing Vessel Engine Retrofit: John Deere 6068 TFM76

The owner of a Pacific Northwest fishing vessel was in need of a crankcase ventilation system for his John Deere 6068 TFM76 engine. The current system was not effectively capturing the crankcase blow by oil mist. This was an issue as it created a hazard in the engine room.

Crankcase Ventilation for Sightseeing and Water Taxi Engine Retrofit: John Deere 4045

A Chicago based transportation and sightseeing company was experiencing difficulties maintaining their fleet of water craft due to ineffective crankcase ventilation systems installed on their John Deere 4045 engines. In addition to expensive change outs, the oil mist carryover and bypass from their existing system caused maintenance problems with alternators.

Crankcase Ventilation Retrofit for Biogas Engines: CAT C3516

A California based anaerobic digester developer needed a cost effective closed crankcase ventilation system that was tailored to fit Caterpillar 3516 engines. The engines are used for Biogas energy applications for dairy farms and other commercial facilities.

Crankcase Ventilation Retrofit: Wartsila 20V 34SG Natural Gas Engine

A power plant in the Western United Sates had an install base of 13 Wartsila 20V 34SG natural gas engines. Their previous crankcase filters were static and simply acted as a rough baffle for the oily vented crankcase emissions. The result was visible emissions into the atmosphere and condensing oil on the side of their building and on the ground.

Crankcase Ventilation Upgrade: Marine Diesel Engine C280-12

A Caterpillar Power Systems dealer was looking for a reliable crankcase ventilation solution for an inland towing vessel. The solution needed to effectively capture oil mist and keep it out of the surrounding environment. This was an upgrade for two C280-12 marine propulsion engines.

Crankcase Ventilation for Water Treatment Facility: CAT G3520C

A private energy company was looking to solve their crankcase blow-by oil mist issues. The oil mist was venting from their four Caterpillar G3520C natural gas engines which were generating power at a water treatment plant. They were looking for a cost effective, closed crankcase solution that would require minimal maintenance and no unscheduled downtime due to maintenance.
