How the right engine oil and services can optimize the performance of your natural gas engines
Gas engines are becoming ever more powerful and complex. Increased combustion chamber temperatures and pressures place tremendous stress on the lubricant. As emissions limits tighten and lube oil consumption decreases, gas engine operators continue to struggle with increased operational and maintenance costs. To illustrate the point, in 2014, Shell asked operators "What issue are you most concerned with in your engines?" Almost 50% of respondents replied "improving oil drain". So what can be done to manage oil life and improve the efficiency of stationary gas engines?
Register for this Shell Lubricants webinar to understand current trends in stationary gas engines used for power generation, recap on common lubrication challenges and learn how the right natural gas engine oil can help improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs. Discover how having a comprehensive oil condition monitoring programme can deliver value and peace of mind to you and your business.
Real life case studies will be used to illustrate the benefits of using the right natural gas engine oil and the advantages of regular oil condition monitoring. For example, we will consider how a leading engineering and construction company in Indonesia recently achieved an 80% increase in oil drain interval as a result of switching lubricant and using Shell LubeAnalyst.
Join us on 13 October when we look forward to responding to your questions and sharing our insight to benefit you and your gas engines.
