Innovative Solutions

Our innovative solutions enable users to confidently measure the quantitative composition of specific elements in a wide range of properties in fuels, petrochemicals, water, coatings, and other difficult matrices.

Oil Conditioning Monitoring

Viscosity analysis helps avoid equipment failure by detecting oil degradation in vapor recovery and refrigeration compressor applications.

Features
  • Identifies early warning signs of oil degradation
  • Detects, measures, and monitors changes in viscosity, so operators can take corrective action at the first sign of oil degradation
  • Conducts both off-line (in a lab) and in-line (on equipment) oil analysis at consistent intervals and in real-time to identify trends that precede equipment issues or failures
  • Optimizes equipment performance and reduces lifecycle costs through oil condition monitoring
  • Needs no operator intervention
