Summit NGP Series lubricants are formulated from highly refined paraffinic petroleum base stocks and the unique additive Syntholate. The refining process includes catalytic hydrogenation to remove impurities, M.E.K. solvent dewaxing to provide low pour points and vacuum distillation to assure low vapor pressure. The addition of Syntholate inhibits the formation of varnish and carbon and provides superior thermal and oxidative stability. Utilizing the superior petroleum base stocks fortified with Syntholate extends the life of Summit NGP Series lubricants compared to that of conventional mineral oils and provides the following money saving benefits: * Reduces lubricant consumption - Extended drain intervals and lower vapor pressures reduce lubricant consumption. * Reduces maintenance - Reduces carbon and varnish formation thus extending the time interval between overhauls. * Excellent lubricity - Provides improved wear protection for bearings and other moving parts. * Good compatibility - The base stocks and special additive package provide excellent compatibility with system components and inhibit against hydrogen sulfide corrosion. * Improves safety - Higher flash points provide a greater margin of safety. Summit NGP Series lubricants with Syntholate pay for themselves with the first lubricant change. Available as: NGP-100, NGP-150
Summit NGSH Series lubricants are formulated from the highest quality synthetic hydrocarbon base stocks. NGSH lubricants are extended life fluids with special additives to protect equipment from wear, rust and hydrogen sulfide corrosion. These fluids are designed for rotary screw and reciprocating compressors in natural gas service. Summit NGSH Series lubricants are compatible with commonly used seal materials and equipment designed for use with petroleum oils. Available as: NGSH-68, NGSH-100, NGSH-150, NGSH-220
Summit NGPS Series partial synthetic lubricants are a blend of synthetic and hydrogenated paraffinic petroleum base stocks. This unique blend is specifically designed for natural gas compressors and is additive treated with rust and corrosion inhibitors, oxidation control agents, anti-wear compounds, hydrogen sulfide inhibitors and defoamants. Available as: NGPS-68, NGPS-100, NGPS-150
Summit PGS-2 synthetic lubricant is a polyglycol-based product for use in enclosed gears, bearings, and compressors where conditions demand the unique properties of this fluid. Better wear protection, thermal and oxidation stability, and reduced sludge and deposit formation insure enhanced performance when compared to petroleum-based lubricants. When used in gas compression applications, the resistance to thinning out by hydrocarbon dilution allows PGS-2 to maintain the proper operating viscosity, extending drain intervals and parts life. Due to the varying make-up of gases and operating temperatures, please contact your Summit representative for specific product recommendations.

Summit PGI synthetic lubricants were designed for use in the compression of propane as well as many natural gas applications. Available in three grades for rotary screw and reciprocating compressors, PGI is especially suitable for wet gas situations. Due to the varying make-up of gases and operating temperatures, please contact Summit for specific product recommendations. Available as: PGI 68, PGI 100, PGI 150
The
lubricant problems generally encountered with the compression of
gas are related to the reaction of the gas stream to the
lubricant. These
include: * Solubility of gas in the lubricant causes reduced lubricant viscosity resulting in cylinder scoring and high wear rates. Compensating for this with a higher viscosity lubricant can cause handling problems at lower temperatures. * Absorption of lubricant into the gas stream results in high lubricant usage rates and a depletion of protective lubricant film in the cylinder. *
Condensed hydrocarbon liquids in the cylinder area can
"wash" the lubricant from the cylinder walls causing
severe mechanical damage.
Summit
NGL-444 polyalkylene glycol lubricant was formulated to combat
these problems associated with high pressure reciprocating
compressors pumping natural gas, carbon dioxide, or process gases.
NGL-444 is extremely resistant to hydrocarbon dilution and
absorption by the gas stream.
The result is a lubricant maintaining the proper viscosity
for wear protection and resisting wash-out and carryover. The
extremely high viscosity index of NGL-444
allows lubricant protection over a broad temperature range.
The low pour point provides all season ease of handling
even in very cold climates. Summit NGL-444 can offer these same advantages when compressing a number of difficult gases including hydrogen, helium and nitrogen.

The carryover from increased lubricant feed rate or use of
heavily compounded oils to compensate for hydrocarbon dilution and
wash-out can damage the well formation. Summit NGL-888 polyalkylene glycol lubricant was formulated to combat these problems associated with high pressure reciprocating compressors pumping natural gas, carbon dioxide, or process gases. NGL-888 is extremely resistant to hydrocarbon dilution and absorption by the gas stream. Any lubricant carryover will not impair the well formation as it is compatible with well-bore treatment fluids and soluble in water. The result is a lubricant maintaining the proper viscosity for wear protection, resisting wash-out and carryover, and posing no threat of damage to the well formation. The

LCG-100 is a specially formulated compressor lubricant designed to be inert to reactive and corrosive gases encountered in landfills, refineries, EOR and chemical process plants. LCG-100 is based on 100 % pure synthetic PAO. It’s extremely low vapor pressure results in minimal carryover past the separator. It does not contain sulfur or other impurities associated with petroleum based products that might react with the acids, chlorinated compounds or sour gases found in various applications. PAOs are fully saturated compounds and do not contain the alkenes or aromatics found in group I, II or even the group III mineral oils touted as being "pure." LCG-100 is ester free and not subject to hydrolysis issues encountered with most esters when used in acidic environments. LCG-100 is suitable for use in certain chloride containing environments where the use of mineral oil, esters or synthetic polyglycols (PAGs) are not permitted. Lubricants that are reactive with a gas stream may form by-products that are harmful to equipment or the environment. Solids may form and cause fouling or plugging issues in certain applications. LCG-100 will protect oil wetted parts against the corrosive effects of common acids and water. It is engineered with superior technology to inhibit the effects of sour gases such as hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide on metal surfaces found within the oil wetted parts of a compressor. LCG-100 is designed to result in longer fluid and equipment life for rotating compressors in corrosive and reactive environments. Please consult with a Summit Industrial Products lubrication expert about the suitability of LCG-100 in these types of applications. The information contained in this document is the result of careful testing in our laboratories, complemented by selected literature.
