Biogas Lubricant: Compressor Lubrication in Upgrading and CO₂ Recovery

Biogas Lubricant: Compressor Lubrication in Upgrading and CO₂ Recovery Biogas lubricant usually means a specialized compressor oil for biogas upgrading and CO₂ recovery duty, formulated to keep working when the gas stream still contains CO₂, moisture, H₂S, siloxanes, and other trace contaminants. Biogas places its hardest demands on the compressor at the point where it […]

Gas Dilution in Compressor Lubricants

Gas & Refrigerant Dilution in Compressor Lubricants Process gas or refrigerant can dissolve into compressor lubricant under pressure — and the dissolved gas or refrigerant can change the lubricant’s operating viscosity, density and film-forming behaviour. The lubricant inside the running machine is not always the same lubricant that was poured in. Gas and refrigerant dilution […]

Requirements for an Air Compressor Lubricant

Requirements for an Air Compressor Lubricant Air compressors are a punishing environment for any lubricant — high temperatures, continuous contact with atmospheric air, and heavy contamination loads. The right compressor lubricant has to perform four critical functions at once: protect against wear, seal compression clearances, transfer heat, and resist oxidation over a long service life. […]
