Boost AO offers two main advantages to industrial facilities. One, it eliminates the need to change oils because it replenishes the additives and consequently extends the oil’s life. It reduces expenditure and makes operations more cost-effective.
Two, it eliminates unnecessary oil waste. This turbine oil treatment solution helps you do your part in protecting the environment, supporting our Fill4Life™ advocacy.
Boost AO is a treatment customized specifically for your turbine oil and designed to rebalance your additive system. The formulation and treat rate are developed based on your original oil formulation and current condition of the in-service oil. The tailored additive components are blended into a concentrate having a similar viscosity of your in-service oil allowing Boost AO to be blended on-site with no special equipment.
Not every in-service turbine oil is suitable for additive replenishment solutions. Oil degradation products, mixed formulations and contamination are among some of the reasons that an oil may not be appropriate for restoring antioxidant health.
Fluitec’s scientists have developed a Qualification Test that is required prior to considering Boost AO. Qualification Testing includes running a battery of tests on your in-service oil, developing a customized Boost formulation, blending Boost AO at the specified treat rate with your in-service oil and performing compatibility testing according to ASTM D7155.
While Boost AO and the VITA Electrophysical Separation ProcessTM (ESP) deliver significant advantages on their own, together they create a true Fill4LifeTM system that replaces antioxidants and removes oil degradation by-products for a cleaner, greener operation.
The thermal and oxidative stresses cause two problems: they deplete the sacrificial antioxidants in oil and create varnish, a detrimental by-product. As a turbine oil treatment, Boost AO replenishes depleted antioxidants but still leaves the problem of varnish.
Fluitec developed the VITA ESP. Through a process called chemisorption, ESP technology removes suspended or dissolved oil degradation products without disturbing the fluid’s additive system. For best results, the ESP media should be tailored to each application and selected based on oil type and condition.
Fluitec warrants that Boost AO is compatible with the existing turbine oil and will not cause any adverse performance effects to the in-service lubricating oil or to the lube oil system*.The addition of Boost is warranted to meet the oxidative and viscometric performance requirements of OEM and International Standard Body turbine oil specifications, including:
Fluitec is committed to developing products for sustainability, and Boost AO is one of them. The main goal of this turbine oil treatment is to reduce oil waste as much as possible. It saves you a tremendous amount of resources and, at the same time, contributes to your environmental efforts.
By switching to Boost AO, you help make your industry greener.
Case studies have shown that Boost AO delivers significant cost savings for companies. Our clients have saved as much as 50,000 gallons (190,000L) of oil, translating into millions of dollars in savings. In extending the life of the oil, Boost AO has saved them huge oil replacement costs.
