per year after system cost

Failure reduction: 60% of current failures avoided (based on case study data). Oil interval extension: 25% longer on average with condition-based management. Lab savings: full elimination of external sampling costs. These are conservative estimates — actual results vary by application.

About this calculator

This tool provides indicative ROI estimates based on industry benchmarks and Spectrolytic case study data. It uses conservative assumptions: 60% reduction in oil-related failures (vs. 62% in our biogas engine fleet case study), 25% oil interval extension, and full elimination of external lab analysis costs. Actual results depend on your specific assets, operating conditions, fluid types, and current maintenance programme. We recommend treating the output as a directional estimate, not a guarantee — and using it as the starting point for a conversation with our engineering team about your specific application.
