Processing and transporting Natural Gas depends on reliable equipment. The lubricants you use are a crucial part of keeping your engines, turbines and compressors running smoothly.
Scheduled or unexpected downtime at remote processing plants and pipeline compressors can cost your company money. That’s why the combination of protection, performance and extended drain intervals has many in the gas industry turning to Petro-Canada as their solution for a broad range of lubricants.
Because downtime is costly and can lead to an interruption in power supply, Dutylex is committed to keeping you up and running. We will work closely with you to determine your specific challenges, then develop a lubrication reliability program with solutions that maximize uptime and protect your power generation equipment. Through careful attention to common power plant problems, we’ve developed case-specific solutions to enhance performance and extend the lifespan of your lubricants and equipment.
Each Dutylex solution begins with an onsite assessment of all equipment requiring lubrication. A trained, local Dutylex lubrication consultant provides you with a detailed report recommending lubricants, application methods, usage amounts, and drain or lube intervals. In addition to Dutylex’s comprehensive line of premium industrial lubricants, your Dutylex consultant can offer you our other reliability products and services to ensure the effectiveness of your program. Common areas of focus at power plants include:
Steam Turbines and Boiler Feed Pumps – Steam turbines and boiler feed pumps commonly suffer from problems associated with water contamination, oxidation and thermal degradation.
Ball and Rod Mills – Costly disposal, environmental concerns, ineffective lubricant and equipment damage are all issues that commonly plague ball and rod mills.
Bowl Mills – Strenuous operating demands and dusty, harsh environments can lead to serious problems for bowl mills.
