ARE YOU MONITORING THE CONDITION OF YOUR TURBINE OIL?

Gas-fired and steam-driven turbines are highly critical assets. Their availability and performance have an immense impact on plant reliability. Turbine performance and up-time is greatly dependent on its lubrication system as it must meet the critical demands of many years of operation in challenging environments. Gas turbine oil is formulated to last from five to ten years, while steam turbine oil will remain in service from ten to thirty years.

A well-rounded turbine oil analysis program should include routine testing on a monthly or quarterly basis, as well as a comprehensive turbine oil assessment annually. This level of detailed testing provides much greater insight into oil degradation.

Fluid Life provides a comprehensive turbine oil assessment that is designed to monitor continued oil serviceability and overall turbomachinery health. Our eight-page report includes an overall summary of results and recommendations, as well as detailed explanations for each category of tests being monitored. The comprehensive turbine oil assessment is widely recommended by turbine manufacturers on an annual basis, or more frequently for troubleshooting oil-related issues.
