Natural gas engine oils

Infineum offers a range of additives for use in natural gas engines under the Infineum M Series brand name.

Natural gas engines offer all of the benefits of their diesel counterparts-power, reliability and long life--with the added advantages of lower maintenance and less pollution. Owners of commercial and industrial facilities are finding that the clean-burning, natural-gas direct-drive systems are a cost-effective, environmentally sound alternative to electric motors and diesel engines. Natural gas engines have significantly lower operating costs than electric motors of the same output and are ideal for a wide variety of industrial commercial applications.

The Infineum natural gas technology is based on the same Salicylate detergent technology found in our railroad additive formulations. Salicylate detergent technology offers a substantial competitive advantage in natural gas engine oils:

• Unique chemistry yields cleaner performance
  
• Best performance for gas engine oils
  
• Anti-Oxidancy
  
• Total Base Number (TBN) Durability and wear protection
  
• Reduction of Piston Deposits (combustion chamber cleanliness)
  
• Better Rust Prevention
  
• Oxidation and Nitration Control

Performance claims and drivers

Gas engines, whether using natural gas from a pipeline, field gas, landfill or bio-gas, propane or LPG, or dual-fuel (diesel ignition) are expected to run trouble-free with only routine scheduled maintenance. A high-quality lubricant can help achieve lower maintenance costs by allowing extended oil drain intervals and longer time between overhauls.

Infineum offers a range of additive packages for gas engine oils. Based on unique and exclusive salicylate chemistry, they achieve extended oil drain intervals, even in API Group I (solvent extracted) base stocks, and exceptional cleanliness. They give unsurpassed rust and corrosion protection, and TBN Durability.

Packages are available designed specifically to extract the highest possible oxidation lifetime with API Group II (hydrocracked) base stocks, while maintaining high levels of deposit control.
