Oil Quality Management Solution By Spectrum Oceanic

Oil Quality Management Solution (OQMS) is a comprehensive approach to maintaining clean and reliable oil for your equipment. OQMS is essentially about measuring and monitoring the quality of the oil and also continuously cleaning it to keep it free of contaminants and maintain its lubrication efficiency. With our oil quality management solution, you can detect potential issues before they cause significant harm, ensuring the reliability of both your oil and your machine. By keeping your oil in optimal condition for longer periods, OQMS reduces costs and improves efficiency, ultimately increasing the longevity of the machine.

Benefits of Oil Quality Management Solution

Eliminate Oxidation Sources For Clean Oil

The oil quality management solution's to the lack of accurate and reliable sensors, and the need for continuous data analysis to identify changes in oil quality

Increased Machinery Life Span

It ensures the oil is of the highest , quality preventing premature wear and tear on machinery and increasing its lifespan.

Prevention Of Costly Repairs

By providing detailed oil quality data and remote accessibility of oil health data, the solution helps to detect potential issues early, preventing costly repairs.

Enhanced Maintenance And Oil Analysis Capabilities

The system provides detailed oil quality data based on several key oil quality indicators, improving maintenance practices and oil analysis capabilities.

Improved Machinery Performance And Reliability

With high-quality oil assurance, it helps to improve machinery performance and reliability.

Extended Oil Change Intervals

The solution helps to achieve savings of up to 50% on the new oil expenditure by safely extending oil change intervals beyond conventional norms.

Why is Managing Oil Quality Important?

The lube oil is like the lifeblood for engines and other rotating equipment. It gets contaminated over a period of time due to the operational wear & tear and ingress of dirt, moisture & leakage of fuel. This weakens its lubrication efficiency and the continued use affects the engine performance and, in the worst case, causes a breakdown. Your machinery and components last longer, when oil is cleaner 54% of the machine failures can be linked to improper lubrication. Clean oil = proper lubrication = less friction, wear & tear = lesser failure. Lesser failures lead to enhanced life of machinery & components!

Key Challenges In Oil Quality Management

Bypass Oil Cleaning Limitations

Bypass oil cleaning systems are designed to filter out from the oil as it circulates through the system. However, relying solely on a bypass system to maintain oil cleanliness and quality standards can have limitations.

Nemesis Of Oil Management

Oil oxidation is the process by which oxygen reacts with the hydrocarbons in the oil, leading to the formation of byproducts such as acids, sludge, and varnish. This process is the nemesis of oil management because it can reduce the performance and lifespan of the oil, as well as the equipment it lubricates.

Oil Oxidation Consequences

The consequences of oil oxidation can be severe and can include varnish formation, reduced load-bearing capacity, increased particulate matter, and greater wear and tear on equipment. Varnish is a particularly problematic byproduct of oil oxidation, as it can adhere to equipment surfaces, reducing their efficiency and causing them to malfunction.

Measuring Oil Quality: Quantification Challenges

Traditional methods of oil quality assessment are often subjective and rely on visual inspections or lab-based tests, which can be time-consuming and expensive.

Engine Failures Due to Lubrication Issues

Approximately 56% of engine failures can be attributed to lubrication-related problems. This highlights the critical role of proper oil quality management in preventing equipment breakdowns and costly repairs.

Early Detection of Wear and Faults

Changes in oil quality can aserve as early indicators of engine wear and emerging faults. However, effectively identifying and interpreting these changes requires consistent monitoring and analysis of oil conditions.

Costly Oil Changes and Top-ups

Oil changes and top-ups are significant expenses in engine maintenance. Blindly following running-hour-based oil change intervals without considering the actual oil quality can result in unnecessary costs, with expenditures on new oil potentially increasing by 50%.

Requirements To Set Up OQMS

Oil Condition Monitoring System

The Oil Condition Monitoring System offers real-time monitoring of oil quality through 22 parameters, accurately detecting optimal oil change times and indicating remaining oil life.

Oil Filtration System

The Oil Filtration System provides continuous and thorough cleaning, achieving absolute filtration down to 3µ with over 99.75% efficiency, removing all contaminants, including water, to extend the machine’s lifespan.
