HYDROCARBON / PROCESS GAS COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION

Advanced Lubrication Technology for Critical Gas Compression Applications

Xaerus is recognised globally for its expertise in the development, technical support and application of high-performance lubricants for hydrocarbon and process gas compression systems.

Xaerus technical approach goes beyond lubricant selection. Xaerus works closely with customers and OEMs to understand the specific gas composition, compressor design and operating conditions before recommending the most appropriate lubrication solution.

Xaerus portfolio provides reliable lubrication solutions for both OEM factory-fill requirements and aftermarket applications, supported by technical expertise designed to help optimise compressor protection, lubricant performance and service life.

Application-Specific Lubricant Recommendations

Gas compression applications can present unique lubrication challenges due to gas composition, pressure, temperature, dilution effects and operating conditions.

Xaerus evaluates the specific application and gas stream to provide application-specific lubricant recommendations and dilution data, helping customers understand how the process gas may interact with the lubricant and influence viscosity, performance and lubricant life.
