Fuel and lubricating oils are the lifeblood of industrial engines and machinery and their significant cost to procure reflects this, whilst making it an asset businesses cannot afford to waste. With fuel and lube quality directly affecting engine and machinery performance, efficiency and maintenance costs, the reaction of oil and lube products must be closely and consistently monitored to protect the investment.

Knowledge is power, and time is money. So it follows that fast and informed on-site decision-making is fundamental to deploying effective maintenance and safeguarding critical machinery from damage. The impact of successful troubleshooting can equate to millions of dollars in savings, but successful preventative measures can only be implemented if problems are identified in time.

Kittiwake’s oil analysis range enables engineers and facilities managers to conduct oil analysis quickly and easily, providing laboratory grade oil condition results in minutes. Detecting out-of-spec fuels or lubricants at the point of use helps to: 

• Protect assets
• Improve productivity
• Increase uptime
• Save money

Choose from a range of equipment and parameters to use individually or combine into a single Oil Analysis Suite with the Oil Test Centre.
 
The requirement for on-line machinery and oil condition monitoring is becoming evermore apparent as maintenance costs increase and production capacity and equipment performance is maximised.

While temperature, pressure and vibration sensors all have their part to play in a condition monitoring package, early detection of changes in oil and lubricant condition and regular, consistent monitoring of wear metal debris in rotating plant provide greater insight into the actual condition of vital machinery and equipment.

Kittiwake have developed a range of innovative and practical on-line sensors for wear metal debris and oil condition detection and monitoring.

The ANALEXrs range is designed to provide plant engineers and maintenance managers with real time, continuously monitored testing and analysis data for critical plant and equipment.

Suitable for use with slow, medium and high speed diesel engines, gas turbines, gearboxes, compressors, generators, vehicles and other oil filled plant, these sensors help to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve profitability.
