Sectors we serve
Heat, water, particles and additive depletion account for most lubricant-related failures in every sector below. What changes is which one dominates, and that changes the programme.
Sector by sector
The programme is the same. What changes is which failure mode gets the budget first.
01
Gas, steam and hydro turbine lube and control-fluid systems. The dominant risk is varnish from thermal and oxidative stress, and it shows up first as servo valve stiction and slow starts. Programmes centre on MPC trending and live deposit control.
02
Gas compression trains, hydraulic power units, pumps and valve actuation on upstream and midstream assets. Water ingress and particulate dominate; humidity and salt exposure in the Niger Delta make breather management as important as filtration.
03
Vessel and platform hydraulics, thrusters, cranes, stern tubes and generator sets. Salt water ingress and long resupply intervals mean condition data has to be good enough to plan a fix before the next port call.
04
Compressors, hydraulic presses, gearboxes and injection moulding. Usually the highest count of separate lubricants on site, which makes consolidation and cross-contamination control worth as much as the cleaning itself.
05
Kiln drives, crushers, mills and heavy gearboxes running in extreme dust. Solid ingress is relentless, so the programme is built around sealing, breather specification and filtration capacity rather than chemistry alone.
06
Compressors, chillers, conveyors and packaging hydraulics with food-grade constraints. Product selection is bounded by NSF category requirements, so cleaning and monitoring carry more of the reliability load.
07
Process compressors, blowers and pumps exposed to aggressive vapours. Contamination is often chemical rather than mechanical, so FTIR and acid number carry more weight than particle count in the alarm framework.
08
Standby generators, UPS flywheels and chiller compressors. These assets sit idle then must start on demand, which makes standby degradation, water condensing into a cold reservoir, the failure mode that matters most.
09
Clean utilities, compressed air systems, vacuum pumps and packaging lines. Documentation and traceability requirements mean every intervention has to arrive with the certificate trail attached.
10
Machine circulating systems with very large reservoirs, high water exposure and continuous duty. Volume alone makes charge replacement expensive, so extending charge life delivers the clearest return of any sector we work in.
11
Gas engines running on landfill and digester gas. Siloxanes and acidic combustion products attack the oil far faster than natural gas duty does, so acid number and additive reserve drive the change-out decision rather than hours run.
12
Cranes, reach stackers, straddle carriers and terminal hydraulics working in salt air. Sub-micron silt and dissolved moisture pass straight through the OEM filtration, so offline conditioning is what actually holds cleanliness between services.
13
Balers, shredders and material handlers on high-duty hydraulics in a dust-saturated environment. Ingress control and offline filtration matter more here than fluid selection.
