Real deployments. Real data. Real maintenance savings — across energy infrastructure and manufacturing operations.
In partnership with OptiGas (NEF Förderungs GmbH), a biogas engine operator extended oil drain intervals from 600h to 1,400h — with data trending toward 1,800h — by replacing fixed-schedule oil changes with real-time condition-based monitoring.
A steel rolling operator gained real-time visibility into water ingress in gear oil — triggering automated water removal systems the moment a break-in event occurred, replacing reactive lab sampling that left equipment exposed between intervals.
An aluminium cold rolling operator replaced slow, outsourced lab sampling with real-time inline additive concentration monitoring — enabling timely top-up decisions, freeing skilled technician time, and opening the pathway to fully automated additivation.
Real-time water monitoring identified intermittent ingress events on a marine vessel's diesel engine — pinpointing the root cause and enabling a planned cooler replacement before catastrophic failure occurred.
A gas turbine operator replaced quarterly laboratory sampling with continuous inline monitoring of acid number, water content, oxidation and amine concentration — delivering daily actionable data where previously results took up to three months.
Inline measurement of concentrate, pH, corrosion inhibitor and pH buffer replaced manual BRIX readings and periodic lab sampling — delivering R²=0.99 accuracy and enabling fully automated fluid management.
FluidInspectIR® deployed on a mobile filtration unit monitoring multiple 1000-litre IBC containers — providing real-time digital proof of filtration effectiveness, water removal and chemical dosing accuracy at every stage.
Water-glycol (HFC) hydraulic fluids lose water in service, pushing viscosity up and fire resistance down between laboratory samples. A feasibility study showed FluidInspectIR® predicting water content directly from the MIR spectrum, with viscosity and particle counting combined in a single inline system.
