In-service lubricants degrade due to oxidation, causing increased viscosity, sludge, acid buildup, and deposits. This impairs friction protection, reduces demulsibility, clogs filters, and renders the oil unusable.

Foaming in amine systems for gas purification lowers efficiency, raises costs due to contaminants. Visaya’s FoamDDI automates foam testing, eliminates bias, and optimizes amine solutions with precise data.

Wear metals come from system wear, contaminants from external sources, and additives enhance performance. Element categories depend on formulation and use, with some elements shifting roles.

The Bakken Formation, a major shale oil region in North Dakota, Montana, and Canada, drives U.S. energy growth. This report covers its size, importance, development, processes, and key companies, though others may also be involved.

Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) extends oil change intervals, saving costs. For example, a facility with eight 410L machines saves $8,200 yearly by extending intervals two months. OCM detects faults early, boosts uptime, cuts waste, and saves thousands across industries like wind farms or fleets.

The ERAFLASH X by Eralytics revolutionizes flash point testing, surpassing ASTM D93 Pensky-Martens with faster, safer, and more precise results, using just 2 mL of sample across a wide 18°C to 370°C range.

The ERAFLASH X (EFX10) is an economical flash point tester for petroleum distillates, offering a 18°C to 370°C range with 2 mL samples. Compliant with ASTM D7094, it’s faster, safer, and more precise than ASTM D93 Pensky-Martens testers, ideal for fuel and lubricant testing. Compared to ERAFLASH, S10, and LT, it lacks add-ons like autosamplers or low-temperature cooling but excels in cost-efficiency. Competitors include Anton Paar’s ABA/TAG and Setaflash testers.
