  • Group V base stocks can be added to further enhance these performance attributes and provide the additive solvency and deposit control necessary for reliability in the turbine application.
  • turbine or turbomachine refers to a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid.

  • the present disclosure provides turbine lubricant compositions with desired antiwear properties.
  • Antiwear additives are generally required for reducing wear in turbine operating equipment where two solid surfaces engage in contact.

These include shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations, petroleum oil obtained directly from primary distillation, and ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process. Refined oils are similar to the oils discussed for unrefined oils except refined oils are subjected to one or more purification steps to improve at least one lubricating oil property.
