Used Oil & Lubricants Analysis Seminar: Rotterdam, The Netherlands

10th and 11th of September 2014

The industry has undergone rapid changes over the last decade as lubricant manufacturers have reformulated products to keep up with the developments in rotating equipment technology. The result is that the oil condition monitoring tools and contamination control technologies that have been successful in the past, are not necessarily relevant today. The analysis of lubricants for conformity and process control is important in providing a high-quality lubricant. The ability to measure a wide range of analytes cost-effectively can mean the avoidance of damaged equipment or changing the lubricant more frequently than necessary.

Join us in Rotterdam and meet our experts within the field of lubricants. You will receive the latest research on plant lubrication, providing attendees with valuable tools that can be implemented upon return to their plant. This course will immediately impact your plant’s reliability and availability by maximizing your oil performance. See the full program and register today.
