Particle contamination is the number one cause
of lubricant related failure in equipment.
Chevron Products Company, a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, today
announced the launch of its ISOCLEAN Program, a first of its kind
national program that offers a solution to particle contamination
through products and in-plant services designed to assist customers
in maximizing the life of their equipment by meeting stringent
quality control standards set by original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs).
Chevron’s ISOCLEAN program includes ISOCLEAN Certified
Lubricants, which have been certified to meet the fluid ISO
Cleanliness requirements of OEMs, and ISOCLEAN Services, which are
in-plant services designed to clean up and manage contamination of
in-service lubricants and operating systems. Both offerings are
dependent on each other and help to reduce wear, decrease
unscheduled downtime and extend the life of equipment.
Chevron’s ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricants meet a specific ISO
Cleanliness code at the point of delivery, which represents the
most stringent cleanliness standards and specifications for
lubricants placed in equipment that are required by several leading
OEMs. An important first step in controlling lubricant
contamination is starting with a certified lubricant. These
products help reduce the expense and manpower required by end
customers to pre-filter non-certified lubricants to meet OEM
requirements.
ISOCLEAN Services are performed by a national certified network
of service providers at the plant location. Controlling particle
contamination for in-service equipment is another critical element
in maintaining efficient operation. The portfolio of services
performed may include:
- Fluid purification and dehydration
- Varnish removal and mitigation
- High velocity flushing
- Reservoir and tank cleaning
- Condition monitoring and system
audits
- Fluid handling consultation
Chevron began rolling out its ISOCLEAN program in early 2015 and
has developed a national network of ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricant
Marketers. The program has seen such dramatic success that it will
begin to expand internationally in 2016. The company’s goal is to
significantly increase the number of certified marketers throughout
many regions.
“No other company is as dedicated to providing solutions for
lubricant particle contamination as Chevron,” said Doug Hinzie, VP
Americas Lubricants at Chevron. “Our ISOCLEAN Program with
certified lubricants and services is proof that we are investing
heavily in this crucial industry need. In response to the request
for a turnkey solution from customers and OEMs, we developed this
comprehensive national program because we know how important it is
to provide a consistent solution which is certified and backed by
Chevron, and delivered wherever our customers need it.”
The number one cause of lubricant-related failures in equipment
is contaminant particles – most of which are so small that they are
unable to be seen by the naked eye. Controlling fluid contamination
early in the process can significantly reduce the costs to remove
it later, which is a direct saving that goes to the bottom line of
our customers.
“It doesn’t matter if you are in mining, construction or own a
fleet of trash trucks, it is all about lubricants and high pressure
lubricants – the cleaner that oil is the longer it is going to
last, because downtime is a killer,” said Freddie Dodge, expert
miner and star of “Gold Rush” on the Discovery Channel. “You get
peace of mind with ISOCLEAN lubricant system because every gallon
you use you get a certificate that it is free of harmful
contaminants.”
Chevron offers more than 50 ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricants for
critical equipment components from hydraulics to gear oils to
synthetics for a variety of industries: agriculture, construction,
manufacturing, mining, petrochemical refining, power generation,
and waste hauling. ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricants give customers the
opportunity to significantly maximize equipment component life: by
2 to 4 times in most cases.
These lubricants have undergone one of the most rigorous testing
processes in the industry to verify that the lubricants performance
is not compromised, which is exclusively done at the Chevron
Research and Technology Center. All products delivered by ISOCLEAN
Certified Lubricant Marketers meet the required certification
process, which includes multiple tests, and follows stringent
delivery processes to verify that the products meet specification
on each delivery.
