Demulsibility 101
Steam turbines are responsible for up to 80% of global electricity production. Because steam powers these units, water ingression into steam turbine oils is a common concern. As the saying goes: “Oil and
→Change Intervals for ICB Filters Explained
Extend Lubricant Life with Proven Lubricant Chemistry Management Patented ICB® Ion-exchange Filters target fluid chemistry, removing varnish molecules and restoring lubricant solvency. This engineered workhorse, like anything else, exhausts with time. To maintain your
→Sustainability – An Holistic Approach of Modern Lubrication Management
What can we do to effect change in Lubrication Management? Achieving net-zero by 2050 is arguably the most challenging goal we will undertake in the history of humanity. For hundreds of thousands of

→MPC Varnish Potential Testing (ASTM D7843)
MPC varnish potential testing (ASTM D7843) is an essential analytical test to determine the propensity for a lubricant to form varnish deposits. With the probability of varnish-related failures reported to be as high
→Proactively manage fluid chemistry and physical contamination to ASTM D8323 standards
Engineered Fluid Contamination Solutions for critical Steam Turbine Electro-Hydraulic Control Systems (EHC Systems) The Electro-Hydraulic Control System (EHC System) is one of the most critical systems controlling steam flow, turbine speed and generator
→Electro-Hydraulic Control Fluid Resistivity Correction
Resistivity is a critical performance indicator for electro-hydraulic control fluid (phosphate ester fluid) quality. Low resistivity values are associated with electro-kinetic wear, a common failure mechanism of servo valves. For decades, users have
→Do Group II Oils Deserve Their Bad Reputation?
Users often complain that before using Group II base-stock oils, they didn’t have a problem with varnish. As a result, Group II oils have a reputation for being varnish prone, leading users to

Bad Turbomachinery Lubricant or Bad Maintenance?
Users often complain that their turbomachinery lubricant is not performing well because the varnish potential (MPC) number is elevated, or their oil is oxidizing when additives are still present. This drives users to
