Manufacturing Plant Systems are critical pieces of equipment that need to be analyzed like any other system. However, they do present a fair amount of challenges. Over the last 20 years, OAL has developed methods to help keep your plants’ systems running and in great condition.

Controlling acid content, water and particulate are 3 big things on an oil system. With a Level 3 Oil Analysis Package, we can help you keep an eye on all 3 plus look at viscosity, wear metals and additives.

Identify Problems

If the oil runs too long or too hot; it will build up varnish. The varnish can cause you major problems on your servos and can lead to downtime. Testing your oil on a quarterly basis will help you identify if you are forming any varnishes and prevent costly repairs.

Recommended Quarterly Testing

Elemental Analysis (Wear Metals and Additives), Viscosity, Particle Count, Water Content, Acid Number and MPC

Recommended Year Testing

Elemental Analysis (Wear Metals and Additives), Viscosity, Particle Count, Water Content, Acid Number, MPC, Foaming, Flashpoint, and Resistivity

Filter Plugging

If your system is plugging filters prematurely you may already have varnish formed in your system. With filter analysis, we can identify if there is varnish or other contaminants in the filters and servos to help identify what is plugging your filters. Once you know what is plugging the filters you can fix the problem and reduce filter usage and end servo problems.
