NGP
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: lubricants are formulated from highly refined paraffinic petroleum base

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, NGP-220

PGS-2
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.

444
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.

NGL-888 is extremely resistant to hydrocarbon dilution and

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.
