At ExxonMobil's China lab Image: ExxonMobilExxonMobil (China) Investment Co has recently premiered its new high-performance gas and steam turbine lubricant for the Chinese market.
The DTE 732M lubricant will be used in both gas and steam turbines and is designed to improve reliability and optimise power output.
The lubricant is a result of close collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, who will use the oil in their heavy-duty gas and steam turbines. DTE 732M is made from a high-quality base oil with a unique additive formulation that ensures a sustained level of high-performance.
According to in-house testing, ExxonMobil’s latest offering boasts greater chemical and oxidation stability, longer life and improved cleaning properties, which increase efficiency and reduce maintenance downtime.
As pollution and energy security become increasingly important in China, the market for wind farms is also growing rapidly. The US major is hoping the latest offering will allow it to gain a greater presence in the lucrative alternative energies segment.
