Fri, 2019-03-22 13:21 — aliabdul
Energy efficiency is one of the most important aspirations for every end user who owns a machine either stationary rotating equipment or a vehicle. Right now, the industry accounts for almost 35% of world’s energy use. Lubricants play a critical role throughout the lifetime of equipment maintenance and operational criticality and also contribute towards the larger goal of Energy efficiency. Under today’s diverse operations where severe conditions of varied temperatures, environmental challenges, high loads including peak loading are the new norm, the equipment is even more challenged. The energy efficiency story for our lubricants is very powerful. The greatest contribution that Shell Lubricants can make to the Energy Challenge is to develop technically advanced products and services that help our customers use less energy while providing lasting protection for vehicles and machinery. Our expertise in lubricants technology and our close relationships with equipment manufacturers have enabled us to develop ‘energy-efficient’ lubricants for a wide range of industrial sectors and applications. These help customers run their machinery more efficiently with reduced energy costs and lower CO2 emissions
