Drive Profitability with Novel Methodology for the Determination of Total Organochlorinated Components in Used Engine Oils
Sponsors
In-service lubricant testing laboratories are faced with increasing demands for profitability and customer satisfaction. To help support these goals, an innovative oil analysis methodology is now available.
Regular testing for fuel and glycol in used engine oil by gas chromatography can provide guidance on oil handling. Benefits include:
- Prevention of unnecessary oil changes
- Lowered costs associated with enhanced replaceable fluid lifetime
- Advanced warning of component wear prior to potential failures that could result in unexpected costs and downtime
Contaminant analysis including the measurement of the total amount of organochlorinated components in the oil can confirm the presence of precursors to engine harming hydrochloric acid which can lead to corrosion. Testing can also help ensure that exhausted oils meet required waste oil hazard classification for recycling.
This webinar covers a new approach to measuring total organochlorides utilizing a PerkinElmer Clarus® 590 GC with a Xylem’s XSD™ Halogen Specific Detector. This faster more efficient methodology eliminates the need for sample preparation and can analyze fuel in used engine oil in a tandem analysis in 3.5 minutes resulting in quicker actionable results for customers.
