INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS FOR POWER GENERATION

Lubricants designed to keep you running.

Today’s high demand for energy requires turbines and generators to run at maximum efficiency, with minimum operational downtime. Maintaining the reliability of these large complex machines often comes down to the correct lubricant. This extends both machine life and service intervals, to help keep you running. At PLI, we do more than just supply the right lubricant, we offer the support and services that can take reliability and efficiency to the next level.

Let’s start talking

Meeting your challenges with our expertise

When you’re trying to balance meeting demand with maintaining machinery, you need a partner with technical expertise in the power generation industry. At PLI, we’ve developed specialised industry products that can keep heavy-duty turbines running efficiently or protect gas engines against impurities like halogen, siloxane and sulphur.

Reliability with sustainability

While energy demands are growing the plants that power the grid are ageing. Yet they must be maintained to exacting standards to ensure they do not exceed emissions guidelines. Talk to us about our energy saving fluids to help reduce your CO2.

Serviceability

Serviceability. Asking complex gas engines, turbines and generators to operate at peak, and with next to zero unplanned downtime is a real challenge. Ask us how our PETRONAS Solutions can help.

High efficiency output

Increasing the energy yield while running machinery continuously places extra demands on your equipment’s lubrication system. Ask us about products which could help extend fluid drain intervals.

Innovation and digitisation

Like the powergen industry, we use new technology and processes to develop a wider product offering. See how we innovate at our R&T centre in Turin.

Drain intervals extended by 1000 hours

Using Repsol Long Life Biogas 4005, Biogas Fuel Cell were resigned to oil drain intervals of +– 3000 hrs. Then our team offered to conduct analysis every 250 hours to show how PETRONAS could massively extend that.

“PETRONAS GEO BLG extended the drain interval from 3000 to above 4000 operating hours.”

Bearing life increased via temperature decrease

Bearing temperatures decreased by 40%. Bed changes extended from 4 to 6 months. Annual savings due to less oil consumption, approximately €3,500. Our Technical Team proved we could make major savings for Soma Thermal Power.

“With superior base oil and stable structure, PETRONAS Grease CaSX offers big advantages.”

PETRONAS Compressor A M4

PETRONAS Compressor A M4 Series are premium performance air compressor oils specially developed for up to 4,000 hours oil life in service*, even when operating at maximum discharge temperatures up to 100°C. Formulated with high quality selected mineral base oils enhanced with advanced anti-oxidant, anti-wear (zinc free), anti-rust and anti-foam additives, PETRONAS Compressor A M4 oils provide high varnish and deposit control, high thermal and oxidation stability for long lasting performance.

High varnish and deposit control ensuring high internal surface cleanliness, controls varnish formation providing longer equipment life
Up to 2,000 hours oil life in service*
High thermal and oxidation stability performance levels under high temperatures and pressure, enabling long oil drain intervals

Up to 2,000 hours oil life in service*

*Maximum values for each product. Individual oil condition strongly depends on the type of compressor and operating conditions. Oil condition monitoring should be carried out during the service to secure optimum oil performance.

Industry approved products

We pride ourselves on our extensive list of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) approvals. These mean our solution is tested and approved by both leading and regional OEM’s – so you are always assured of optimal compatibility between system and product.

Choose the right oil for you

We've developed specialised products for the powergen industry at our world-class R&T Centre in Turin. Designed to reduce maintenance costs and waste, they can help lower power consumption and CO2 levels, supporting your need for reliability with your efforts to improve sustainability.
