Offshore Platform Stops Compressor Trips within hours after DECON™ Application
A major operator runs a MAN screw compressor on a West Shetland fixed-leg offshore platform in the North Sea, lubricated with Castrol Aircol SR32.
The unit began experiencing high bearing temperatures that escalated to compressor tripping events. These are automatic shutdowns triggered by the safety system when temperature thresholds are exceeded.

Lubricant Varnish: What We’ve Learned and What We Still Don’t Know
25 years of research have transformed how we detect, treat, and understand lubricant varnish — but critical gaps remain. Here's where the science stands today.
Data Centers Are Redefining What a Lubricant Is
The fastest-growing fluid market for companies like ExxonMobil, Shell, FUCHS, Castrol, and Lubrizol has nothing to do with turbines, hydraulic presses, or gearboxes. It’s a stainless steel tank full of servers submerged in dielectric fluid.
