Keep Every Production Asset Running at Peak Performance
YOUR INDUSTRIES, COVERED
Fluid Lifecycle Management Across Process Industries
From heavy crushers to precision hydraulics, process industries depend on fluid integrity across a wide range of equipment. We cover the critical assets and fluids that keep your production running.
LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT
Most fluid problems in process industries don't happen overnight. They build up over months and become visible only after production is affected. Our lifecycle approach gives you visibility and control at every stage.
Full Fluid Lifecycle Management — From Commissioning to End-of-Life
Phase 1
Planning & simulation
Right fluid specifications from the start
Condition-based change intervals — not fixed schedules
Evaluate and compare fluid strategies before committing
Phase 2
Operational control
All fluid data in one view — lab results and real-time sensors combined
Automated alerts and trend analysis across every system and site
Data-driven actions: extended fluid life, less waste, fewer failures
Phase 3
End-of-life & reporting
Know exactly when a fluid needs to be changed
Reduce waste fluid volumes and disposal costs
Sustainability and compliance reporting — automated
✓ Reduce unplanned downtime by acting before failures occur
✓ Extend fluid and component service life
✓ Maintain production quality and cleanliness standards
✓ Meet sustainability and reporting requirements with automated data
MONITORING
Lab Analysis + Real-Time Monitoring — Complete Fluid Visibility
Two complementary monitoring methods, one integrated view. Whether you prefer periodic lab testing or continuous online monitoring — or both — we give you the data you need to act.
Lab analysis
Send fluid samples to our laboratory for comprehensive analysis. Every result comes with a Performance Statement: true condition, developing risks and clear action recommendations. Analysis typically covers:
Chemical condition — oxidation, viscosity, additive health, TAN/TBN
Cleanliness — particle count, sizes, ISO cleanliness codes and microscopic assessment
Contamination & wear — water content, wear metals and component-specific indicators (ICP)
Coolant condition — pH, glycol concentration, reserve alkalinity, inhibitor levels, ATP
Transformer oil — DGA, BDV, TAN, water content, oxidation and aging indicators
Real-time monitoring
Continuous fluid condition data from IIoT sensors, flowing securely to Fluid Eye® via edge connectivity. AI-powered analytics detect trends and anomalies — automated alerts and clear guidance, 24/7.
Four monitoring packages, used individually or combined:
Oil Quality Trend — oil quality index and temperature
Cleanliness Monitoring — particle counts, sizes, ISO codes and humidity
Chemical Analysis — water, oxidation, antioxidant depletion, TAN/TBN and viscosity
Coolant & fuel monitoring — conductivity, pH, temperature and tank levels
Expandable with custom parameters: transformer monitoring, pressure, flow, tank level and CMMS integration.
OPTIMIZATION
Fluid Optimization — Better Performance, Longer Life, Less Waste
Monitoring tells you what's happening. Optimization is what you do about it. We offer a full range of interventions to restore fluid quality, protect equipment, and reduce total fluid costs.
Impurity removal & filtration
Remove water, particles, varnish and other contaminants before they cause damage — designed for demanding process conditions, high-pressure systems and critical uptime requirements
Includes: Offline filtration, varnish removal, water removal, particle filtration, component flushing.
Additives & fluid conditioning
Restore depleted additive packages and extend fluid service life without full oil changes. Reduce waste and procurement costs while maintaining full protection.
Includes: Antioxidant top-ups, inhibitor treatments, fuel conditioner and customized additive programs.
Projects & expert advice
Not every fluid challenge fits a standard solution. Our engineers work directly with your teams to solve complex fluid problems, optimize change intervals and build fluid management programs.
Includes: On-site assessments, fluid management audits, change interval optimization, training and support.
✓ Extend cooling fluid and transformer oil lifecycles significantly
✓ Reduce waste fluid volumes and disposal costs
✓ Keep backup fuel in ready-to-fire condition at all times
✓ Lower total cost of ownership across all six fluid systems
DATA MANAGEMENT

Managing fluid data across multiple machines, sites and teams is complex. Fluid Eye® brings it all together — lab results, sensor data, maintenance history, alerts and reports — in one centralized platform.
One view, every system — from a single lube point to enterprise-level fleet
Integrated data sources — lab results and real-time sensor data in the same dashboard
Smart alerts — automatic notifications when action is needed
Reporting & compliance — generate maintenance reports, ESG data and audit trails with one click
Multi-site management — compare performance across plants, sites and regions
No spreadsheets. No scattered reports. Just clear, actionable fluid intelligence.
"Oil condition management is a reliable way to ensure stable and uninterrupted operations."

Metals & Metal Manufacturing
From steel mills and foundries to metal forming and component manufacturing, this sector places some of the most extreme demands on fluids — high temperatures, heavy continuous loads, water and scale contamination, and strict cleanliness requirements for finished components.
Key equipment: Rolling mills, presses, quenching systems, continuous casting machines, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, compressors.
What we monitor: Hydraulic oil cleanliness and condition, quenching fluid quality, gear oil condition, water contamination, particle count and ISO codes, high-temperature oxidation.

Common failure modes we prevent:
Hydraulic system failure from particle contamination under high-pressure cycles
Gear and bearing damage from water ingress and thermal degradation
Component damage from insufficient cleanliness in precision manufacturing
Mining & Minerals
Mining equipment operates in some of the harshest conditions in industry — abrasive environments, extreme loads and remote locations make fluid management both challenging and critical. Unplanned failures in crushers or conveyors have immediate production impact.
