Anderol Inc. Highlights Industry-Proven Royco® 800 Lubricant Series at Global Petroleum Show 2006


Alberta, Canada (June 13, 2006) - ANDEROL Inc., a leading worldwide manufacturer of synthetic lubricants, is featuring its well-established synthetic-based compressor lubricant ROYCO® 800 series in its booth # 6072 at the Global Petroleum Show in Stampede Park, Calgary, AB, June 13 -15, 2006. The Polyalkalene Glycol-based ROYCO 800 series is known to work well for hydrocarbon compression applications, ensuring minimized solubility in hydrocarbon gases, increased energy efficiency and enhanced protection of critical compressor parts against rust, wear and corrosion.

Traditionally, compressor lubricants and hydrocarbon gases are soluble in one another. This relationship causes a deleterious effect on both the quality of the lubricant and the gas, leading to excessive equipment wear and increased maintenance costs. "The ROYCO 800 series, formulated with proprietary additive technologies, enhances equipment life by minimizing this solubility relationship and improving the quality of the processed gas," says Lucian Fletcher, technical service manager, ANDEROL Inc.

The ROYCO 800 series extends application life by exhibiting a high initial viscosity at cylinder operating conditions and minimal viscosity change from fluctuations in pressure, temperature or gas density. These lubricants are highly resistant to wash-off by gas condensates often present in compressor cylinders. They will prevent deposits, sludge, or varnishes from forming. Additionally, the ROYCO 800 series is completely non-reactive to additives in the gas stream and is compatible with well-strata treatment chemicals and all compressor components.

Products on display in the ROYCO 800 series include the ROYCO® 880 for high-pressure natural gas applications and ROYCO® 868, 886, and 889 for process gas and natural gas vehicle fueling applications. These polyglycol-based compressor lubricants are engineered to provide high film strength to protect against wear and corrosion. Formulated with pour points as low as -55°C, they provide exceptional cold-weather start-up protection for compressor cylinders, packings, gaskets, hoses, and other critical application components.
