Measurement solutions for lubricant analysis to optimize development and quality control
Lubricants make our everyday lives run smoothly. From car engines to wind turbines and conveyor belts – all these machines need to be properly lubricated to ensure the highest performance, long component lifespan, and short downtimes. Therefore, consistent quality and optimal formulation are crucial. As requirements and regulations are continuously placing higher demands on performance, longevity, and safety, measuring solutions need to be able to keep pace with the latest developments.
Language: English
The importance of Oil-Condition Monitoring: Know when to exchange your lubricant to avoid unplanned, costly downtimes
Nobody likes downtimes, particularly unplanned ones. That’s why oil-condition monitoring (OCM) is steadily gaining in importance. With an ever-increasing amount of machinery and used oil samples, OCM requires fast and robust measurement solutions, capable of analyzing a wide variety of samples, from barely used transformer oils to potentially contaminated engine oils.
Language: English
How to increase and maintain efficiency when trading and storing lubricants
The quality of lubricants is ascertained right after production and blending at the refinery. In order to keep this quality at the expected level during transport and storage, careful handling is required. As soon as deviations are found, an immediate reaction is required as this has a direct impact on the operator's financial accounting. In order to continuously monitor the properties of your products and to enable precise account settlement, Anton Paar offers a wide variety of established solutions at many points along the lubricant chain to the end user.

The importance of compliance, sustainability, and efficiency
The disruptions to global petroleum supply and consumption as a result of COVID-19 and associated mitigation efforts have been significant as road and air travel fell sharply when economies around the world went into lockdown. Combining this dramatic impact with trendsetting governmental energy policies asking for the use of alternative and more sustainable fuels and consumers’ growing concern for climate change and their call for a healthy future rewrites the rules of the game for the whole petroleum industry.
Anton Paar can help you keep up with the latest trends and regulations, strive for more efficient production processes, and remain competitive in this highly contested environment using a wide portfolio of innovative measuring devices.

How fuel analysis supports development of cleaner marine fuels
The new IMO 2020 regulation has resulted in major changes for the shipping industry and marine fuel manufacturers. The mandated reduction of sulfur content in marine fuel (bunker fuel) will see many vessels switching to LSFOs (low-sulfur fuel oils) which comply with the sulfur limit of the IMO 2020. This poses new challenges for fuel producers, bunker blenders, and engine manufacturers alike. Join us to find out how our wide portfolio of innovative measuring devices supports you in developing, blending, and testing new low-sulfur fuels and fuel oils.
