Real-time engine oil analysis helps AD operators protect assets

Providing a 24/7, real-time analysis of the quality of gas engine oil, the sensors detect any contamination including fuel, water or metal and provide a snapshot of the overall health of an engine – often the most expensive piece of equipment on an AD plant. 

Increase uptime

“Knowledge is power – the more information you have at your disposal regarding the running of your gas engine, the better you can manage its performance,” says James Thompson, managing director of Gen-C. “Oil quality is an often-overlooked area that can have a detrimental effect on an engine’s overall running. Our oil condition monitoring sensors can help operators plan scheduled maintenance at a time that coincides with an oil change, thereby increasing uptime, as well as protecting the engine by detecting any contamination issues as soon as they occur. They also help operators avoid over-ordering engine oil, keeping costs down.” 

Superior engine upgrades

As well as being available as a standalone product, Gen-C’s oil monitoring sensors now come as standard with all engine upgrades. “If your engine is stalling, failing, struggling to restart or delivering a reduced gas output, upgrading it will ensure it runs reliably and smoothly for years to come,” explains James. “Downtime will be reduced, electrical output and income will increase, your engine will emit fewer emissions and be easier to start.”

Gen-C’s engine upgrade service includes the latest ignition system, fuel mixer, throttle, detonation control, HT leads and spark plugs – as well as oil condition monitoring sensors – and comes with an open access control panel, enabling operators to take full remote control of their engine 24/7.
