FTIR analysis supports a beneficial choice of additives obtaining performance and avoiding lost production due to lubricant ineffectiveness. Traditional methods to provide knowledge for
operational decisions included sending oil samples for testing at a chosen laboratory. This process would take 10-12 days, which would make it ineffective and un-operational.
Using FTIR on-site IKM Ocean Team know instantly when customer oils have reached performance properties: avoiding contamination to spread unwanted particles from one location to the full system and decreasing further costs of wasted oil. On-site analysis optimizes the time and amount of oil used for flushing.
