With oil and gas prices fluctuating, it is important for companies to ensure high value for time and money spent at operating plants. Our NGP Series lubricants are tailor-made for rotary screw and reciprocating gas compressor application so that your units can run longer.
It utilizes synthetic properties – at petroleum costs – with these benefits:
Reduces the need for seasonal lubricants with pour points as low as -27°F (-33°C) and high viscosity indices
- Lower viscosity can be used in most applications which means better pumpability at low temperatures and better film strength at higher temperatures
- Prevents corrosive effects of wet CO2 and H2S gases
- Feed rates can be reduced 10- to 15-percent for cylinders and packing on reciprocating compressors
The properties of Summit’s NGP Series highly refined, partial-synthetic blended lubricants with additive technologies approach those of a synthetic PAO. These additives enable the lubricant to outperform competitive mineral oil or R&O products. Used in the wrong applications, R&O and mineral oils can:
- increase wear rates
- lower the compressor’s efficiency
- increase horsepower consumption
- increase oil carry-over
- fail to inhibit against corrosion
- produce varnish
The NGP Series is made to combat some of those issues.
In summary, NGP Series products will save you money in both the short-term and long-term by providing excellent lubricating properties, extending lubricant drains, reducing maintenance costs, increasing compressor run time, and adding greater margins of safety.
