FTO-100

Summit FTO-100 is an ISO 100 synthetic ester based lubricant designed to be used as floor test and commissioning oil for reciprocating compressors. It is compatible with commonly used reciprocating oil base stocks including mineral, synthetic PAO, ester and PAG. Before a PAG oil can be used in the field, incompatible oils must first be flushed from the compressor system.

Compressor damage may occur if the system is not properly flushed. Summit’s FTO-100 lubricant eliminates any risk of compatibility issues from improper flushing or by the oversight of not flushing at all. FTO-100 contains vapor phase corrosion inhibitors for long term storage. The use of FTO-100 may eliminate the need to add extra preservative oils to the system. Summit FTO-100 may not be compatible with some paints used in some compressor frames.

HVR-150

The resistance to thinning out by hydrocarbon dilution allows HVR-150 to maintain the proper operating viscosity, extending drain intervals and parts life. This unique blend is treated with rust and corrosion inhibitors, oxidation control agents, and hydrogen sulfide inhibitors.

RECOMMENDED USES

LCG SERIES

LCG Series are specially formulated synthetic natural gas compressor oils designed to be inert to reactive and corrosive gases encountered in landfills, refineries, EOR and chemical process plants. LCG Series is based on 100 percent pure synthetic PAO. It’s extremely low vapor pressure results in minimal carryover past the separator. It does not contain sulfur or other impurities associated with petroleum based products that might react with the acids, chlorinated compounds or sour gases found in various applications. PAOs are fully saturated compounds and do not contain the alkenes or aromatics found in group I, II or even the group III mineral oils touted as being «pure.» LCG Series is ester free and not subject to hydrolysis issues encountered with most esters when used in acidic environments.

LCG Series is suitable for use in certain chloride containing environments where the use of mineral oil, esters or synthetic polyglycols (PAGs) are not permitted. Lubricants that are reactive with a gas stream may form by-products that are harmful to equipment or the environment. Solids may form and cause fouling or plugging issues in certain applications. LCG Series will protect oil wetted parts against the corrosive effects of common acids and water. It is engineered with superior technology to inhibit the effects of sour gases such as hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide on metal surfaces found within the oil wetted parts of a compressor.

RECOMMENDED USES

LCG Series is designed to result in longer fluid and equipment life for rotating compressors in corrosive and reactive environments. Please consult with a Summit Industrial Products lubrication expert about the suitability of LCG Series in these types of applications.

NGL SERIES

Summit NGL Series synthetic natural gas compressor oils are polyalkylene glycol lubricants formulated to combat problems associated with high pressure reciprocating compressors pumping natural gas, carbon dioxide, or process gases. The lubricant problems generally encountered with the compression of natural gas and CO2 are related to the reaction of the gas stream with the lubricant. These include:

– Solubility of gas in the lubricant causes reduced lubricant viscosity resulting in cylinder scoring and high wear rates. Compensating for this with a higher viscosity lubricant can cause handling problems at lower temperatures.

– Absorption of lubricant into the gas stream results in high lubricant usage rates and a depletion of protective lubricant film in the cylinder.

– Condensed hydrocarbon liquids in the cylinder area can «wash» the lubricant from the cylinder walls causing severe mechanical damage.

– The carryover from increased lubricant feed rates or use of heavily compounded oils to compensate for hydrocarbon and CO2 dilution and wash-out can damage the well formation and plug CO2 injectors.

– Gases such as CO2 and H2S may be corrosive to compressor components. NGL protects against the corrosive effect of these gases to compressor components while maintaining lubricating properties.

NGL Series lubricants are extremely resistant to hydrocarbon and CO2 dilution and absorption of the gas stream components. Any lubricant carryover will not impair the well formation as it is compatible with well-bore treatment fluids and soluble in water. The result is a lubricant maintaining the proper viscosity for wear protection, resisting wash-out and carryover, and posing no threat of damage to the well formation or CO2 injectors. The extremely high viscosity index of the NGL Series lubricants allows protection over a broad temperature range. The low pour point provides all-season ease of handling even in very cold climates. The use of pressurized and heated tanks as well as heat traced lines can be eliminated. Summit NGL Series can offer these same advantages when compressing a number of other difficult gases including hydrogen, helium and nitrogen. Please contact your Summit representative with your specific gas application.

RECOMMENDED USES

Summit NGL Series can offers advantages with reciprocating compressors pumping natural gas, carbon dioxide and a number of other difficult gases, including hydrogen, helium and nitrogen. Please contact your Summit representative with your specific gas application.

NGP 220

When a synthetic oil is not needed, Summit’s NGP 220 of highly refined petroleum based lubricants are formulated to provide some of the same benefits provided by hydrocarbon based synthetics such as PAO and PIB. The additive technology used in the NGP Series enable them to far outperform other mineral oil based lubricants. Some of the benefits are:

• The high viscosity index (V.I.) of NGP 220 is comparable to a synthetic PAO and means a significant increase in operating temperature range over most mineral based oils. It also means a lower viscosity grade NGP 220 product may be used in place of a higher viscosity mineral oil with a lower viscosity index. This can mean lower temperature flow limits and may eliminate the need for heated, pressurized day tanks and heat traced lines. It can also mean better lubricant film strength at higher cylinder and packing temperatures on reciprocating compressors.

• The pour point of the NGP 220 approaches that of a synthetic PAO and may be as much as 25 ºF lower than some mineral based oils. The lower limit may eliminate no flow shutdowns on cold days or the need for special tank and line heaters.

• NGP 220 is made from highly purified petroleum oils that only contain trace amounts of sulfur and other impurities found in group I mineral oils. Impurities common to many mineral oil base stocks can react with components of the gas stream to form by-products harmful to the compressor system.

• NGP 220 is formulated to inhibit against the corrosive effects of wet CO2 and H2S often found in gas compressor applications.

RECOMMENDED USES

NGP 220 is tailor made for gas compressor applications. It is not simply an R&O oil developed for general purpose lubrication put into gas compressor service. Both synthetics and petroleum based oils have their place in gas compressor applications. Consult with Summit’s Gas Compressor Specialist to find out which product is right for your application.

NGP SERIES

Summit NGP Series compressor oils are formulated from highly refined paraffinic petroleum base stocks and the unique additive Syntholate. The refining process includes catalytic hydrogenation to remove impurities, M.E.K. solvent dewaxing to provide low pour points and vacuum distillation to assure low vapor pressure. Summit NGP Series lubricants with Syntholate pay for themselves with the first lubricant change. The addition of Syntholate inhibits the formation of varnish and carbon and provides superior thermal and oxidative stability. Utilizing the superior petroleum base stocks fortified with Syntholate extends the life of Summit NGP Series lubricants compared to that of conventional mineral oils and provides the following money saving benefits: Reduces lubricant consumption – Extended drain intervals and lower vapor pressures reduce lubricant consumption;  Reduces maintenance – Reduces carbon and varnish formation thus extending the time interval between overhauls; Excellent lubricity – Provides improved wear protection for bearings and other moving parts; Good compatibility – The base stocks and special additive package provide excellent compatibility with system components and inhibit against hydrogen sulfide corrosion; Improves safety – Higher flash points provide a greater margin of safety.
