Power plants run for decades with minimal downtime. Turbine oil must resist long-term oxidation and support the hydraulic control system with high precision.
Industry Challenges
What You're Up Against
Long oil-cycle life
Turbines often run for years without a full oil change, making oxidation stability critical.
Hydraulic control precision
Turbine control valves need oil with precise, consistent viscosity.
Continuous compressor duty
Plant auxiliary compressors must run uninterrupted with minimal carbon deposit.
Applications
Where It Applies in This Industry
Turbine bearing lubrication system
High oxidation-stability oil for long cycles.
Turbine hydraulic control system
Precise lubrication of control valves.
Instrument air compressors
Low-deposit oil for auxiliary compressors.
Generator bearings
