Robert Cutler
Improved Sustainability and Reliability of Machinery Via Lubricant Analysis: Where Chemistry Meets Engineering
This presentation will explain how lubricant analysis, using state-of-the-art technology and new methods, can provide engineers with a means to advance the reliability and sustainability of critical machinery, a low-cost solution in reducing unscheduled maintenance and improving ROI of equipment.
Dzmitry Korachkin
Oil Analysis for Safe and Sustainable Lubricant Life Extension
This presentation will cover oil analysis techniques for measuring lubricant useful life, monitoring of oil degradation and its impact on rotating machinery. The oil’s inherent oxidation stability and antioxidant additive levels play a part in resisting degradation. When degradation inevitably does occur, insoluble degradation products may form sludge and varnish. The propensity to form varnish can be monitored, with suitable filtration technologies then employed to mitigate varnish formation and deposition. Through careful monitoring and management, lubricant life can be extended safely.

Advanced Methods of Contaminant and Wear Debris Analysis
This presentation will cover analysis methods for wear particle characterisation and elemental analysis, including analytical ferrography, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX), infrared spectroscopy and microscopy.

The Benefits of the Site Lubrication Technician and Lubrication Focused Engineers
The “grease monkey”, “oily rag”, the “data dog” and the “lab rat” are deeply prejudicial terms we must banish to the realms of history.
Humans who provide first line analysis, inspection and interpretation of the situation and its risks are critical to the pursuance of reliable operations.
Let’s look at the role of the onsite lubrication technician and see what they can do for our operations if well managed, appropriately trained and properly motivated.
