Lube oil

Lube oils for gas turbines and diesel engines are continuously contaminated with water, fine metal particles and decomposition products, requiring ongoing purification to prevent engine wear and ensure equipment availability. GEA treatment plants are reliable, efficient and robustly designed to meet the stringent requirements of the oil field industry.

The importance of lube oil

Lube oil is essential for the reliability and efficiency of equipment used in exploration, drilling and production. Drilling rigs, pumps, compressors and other critical machinery depend on high-quality lube oil to operate smoothly under harsh conditions. Continuous operation in demanding environments requires lube oil to prevent equipment failure, reduce downtime and maintain optimal performance. Proper lubrication minimizes wear and tear, reduces the risk of breakdowns and extends the service life of expensive machinery.

Efficient lube oil treatment with GEA centrifuges

GEA centrifuges are designed to efficiently separate contaminants such as water, metal particles and decomposition products from lube oil. Using high-speed rotation and powerful g-forces, these machines ensure the oil remains clean and effective. The self-cleaning separators continuously purify the oil, reducing wear on engine parts and extending the oil's service life. This process helps lower purchasing and disposal costs.

Advanced control systems guarantee optimal performance, while the self-cleaning design allows for unsupervised continuous operation. GEA centrifuges handle high throughput rates with low energy requirements and minimal maintenance, making them a reliable and cost-effective solution for lube oil treatment.
