Description
HYCOM LS grades refer to extremely low, sulphur, high, viscosity lubricants for compressors specifically produced for the application of synthetic gas (Syn Gas) and LDPE compressor units operating under very high pressures and temperatures. These premium, grade industrial lubricant products for compressors are constructed with the main goals of providing very good oxidation stability, chemical compatibility, and catalyst protection, thus they can be considered as the most suitable ones for the most demanding petrochemical and fertilizer plant sections.
HYCOM LS oils can be used almost without any limitations in the compressors manufactured by Cooper Bessemer, Nuovo Pignone, and other major OEMs that are used in Syn Gas, Hydrogen, and LDPE processes.
Detail Description
HYCOM LS grades are ultra low sulphur high viscosity oils which can be used in syn gas/ LDPE compressors of make like Cooper Bessemer, Nuovo Pignone etc. The product will is compatible with syn gas operation at high pressure and there will be minimum risk of oxidation. The risk of catalyst poisoning is eliminated as the product has a very low sulphur content. (< 5 ppm )
Advanced Application Areas
Syn gas compressors
LDPE compressors
High-pressure petrochemical compressors
Fertilizer plant gas compression systems
Hydrogen and process gas compressors
