Total Base NumberTBN is formulated into the finished lubricant to counteract the by-products of combustion/acids. Formulators aim for a relatively slower TBN depletion rate, which is a function of a balanced additive package, base oil quality and formulation experience.

OxidationChemical process whereby oxygen molecules combine with hydrocarbon molecules, accelerated by temperature, increasing molecule size and in turn viscosity, shortening oil life.

NitrationChemical process whereby heat, oxygen and Nitrogen Oxides (NO2) contribute to viscosity increase, change in pH and sludge formation. Slowing nitration improves oil life which is a function of additive package, base oil quality and formulation experience.

White-Superior, Waukesha, Ajax and Cooper-Bessemer natural gas stationary engines

and it meets or exceeds ASTM D6210, D3306 and TMC RP 329. It is compatible with fully

formulated, phosphate free coolants, and should not be diluted by more than 25 percent

with other coolant formulations.

Understanding Value Drivers in Maintenance of Natural Gas Engines

For Typical Operations:

• Downtime directly impacts production

and revenue.

• Unscheduled downtime costs due to

engine failures are significant, due to

complexity involved with repairs.

• Lubrication preventative maintenance

tasks are difficult to manage in remote

locations.

• Due to size of engines, lock-out process

and remote locations, safety is often a

major concern for the mechanics.

• Engine overhaul costs are expensive –

extending time to overhaul by one year or

more is significant to lowering total cost

of ownership (TCO).
