Oil Analysis in Present
In addition to The diversity of equipment within an industrial site can span from 5-20,000 pieces of equipment that require lubrication. Moreover this equipment ranges from for example motors, drives, hydraulics, air compressors and chillers to robotic arms for discrete manufacturing systems and conveyor belts for process line control for instance.

Following Other equipment may include back up gen sets, firewater or process fluid pumps, powerhouses (gen sets or dedicated suppliers) as well as machine tools, valves and seals at the same time.

Therefore with such a vast amount of equipment in the industrial plant, and a dedicated on-site oil analysis program gives plant maintenance professionals access to immediate results, diagnostics also the ability to rapidly determine what maintenance actions are needed moreover.

However Oil analysis positively affects the KPIs which include in addition : percent uptime, percent reactive maintenance required moreover, percent of maintenance costs over the replacement asset value, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and the amount of inventory turn and maintenance, repairs also operations (MRO) parts as well as the meantime between failures (MTBF) at the same time in addition moreover.

However today, on-site oil analysis is integral to an optimized on-site lubrication program since it reaches across the facility and affects all asset components that are lubricated in addition. However, for many years on-site oil analysis wasn’t performed due to the large variety of rotating and reciprocating equipment within a facility and because of the different duty cycles, components and lubricants used in addition.

Therefore a lack of understanding about the role of oil analysis since it was often included as part of an oil company’s offerings. In addition, there was a reliance on outside testing labs and poor in-house lubrication practices for example. Moreover Also, there was a lack of in-house expertise needed to diagnose oil analysis results and an overall lack of action when issues were discovered finally for example too.
