Metals are used for the fabrication of many structures, vehicles and objects like cars, buildings, ships, etc. Because corrosion causes metal to deteriorate it is not wanted in our modern-day metal-applications. Yet it is a natural process that is dependent on several factors. In this article we explain what corrosion is and how it arises. We also take a look at the different types of corrosion.
Water miscible and neat metalworking fluids are some of the most complex liquid sorts around in terms of chemistry and working environments. To help users on how to manage metalworking fluids, Q8Oils published the ‘engineers guide to using soluble metal manufacturing fluids’.
Primato grows tomatoes on a total surface of 125.000 m2. For the powering and heating of their greenhouses, they use a combined heat and power (CHP) installation, driven by INNIO Jenbacher 624 engines. The newly developed Q8 Mahler GR8 was successfully tested in this challenging application and resulted in longer drain intervals, higher efficiency and cleaner engine parts.
Petroleum Economist, an independent publisher who analyses the energy market since 1934, hosted its annual award ceremony on 21 November in London. Q8Oils was awarded the “Project of the Year” award!
The Q8 Bach XNRG bio-lubricants exceed the EN 16807 requirements, combining excellent cutting performances with an eco-friendly character.
Caterpillar Energy Solutions approved Q8 Mahler GR8 as gas engine oil for the use in MWM TCG and Caterpillar CG gas engines with increased pollutant concentration.
TEDOM approved Q8 Mahler GR as gas engine oil for the use in natural gas- and biogas engines. The approval was the outcome of two field tests in Italy, showing excellent results on oil stability.
The increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel-economy demands have forced engine manufacturers to downsize engines while improving their power and torque. The downside of today’s smaller engines with higher power density is their risk to abnormal disruptive combustion, such as knocking and a new phenomenon called low speed pre-ignition (LSPI).
The formation of varnish is a common problem for turbine operators. Varnish is difficult to remove and is seen as a silent machine killer that gradually deteriorates the performance of installations. The choice of the right turbine oil is the most efficient way to fight varnish formation. To understand which turbine oils can prevent varnishing, you must understand the characteristics of varnish and how it is formed.
Emission regulations are an hot item for the automotive industry. To meet the latest Euro VI regulations, truck manufacturers integrate an after treatment device (ATD) in the engine to limit the exhaust of undesired pollutants.
