fewer oil purchases, less labour and waste in specific cases, as shown in the example below, help lower operating costs and maximise engine availability, which can bring significant savings and make business more profitable.
For example, following the introduction of Mobil Pegasus™ 1005 to lubricate gas engines used across five Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants at a UK district energy company, oil drain intervals (ODI) have increased by 150 percent when compared against the previous mineral product. As a result of the extended ODI, safety hazards were significantly decreased with fewer oil changes and less employee exposure to maintenance procedures and associated injury risks. Extended ODI has helped decrease used oil generated for disposal by 52 percent. Moreover, the annual savings generated were calculated at approximately £21,600 for the five applications as a result of increased equipment availability, reduced annual oil consumption/cost, and lower maintenance and oil disposal costs.
Another company to benefit from extended equipment operation thanks to Mobil Pegasus 1005 is E.ON Hanse Wärme GmbH, one of the major energy companies in Germany, which was looking for a lubricant that would help extend the operating periods of its gas engines. E.ON Hanse Wärme GmbH generates heat in several federal states, and operates and services 200 combined heat and power (CHP) generators. Following the introduction of Mobil Pegasus 1005, the company observed that the load-bearing parts of the engine were extremely well- protected and stayed cleaner for longer. The safety risks facing

employees as well as the operating costs were lowered by reducing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
At your service
In addition to advanced lubricants, ExxonMobil provides a number of services that help power sector operators achieve their safety and productivity goals. For example, the company offers training sessions to educate operators on how to care for equipment and perform lubrication tasks safely. ExxonMobil’s Field Engineering Services team also provides advice on how to maximise the benefits from their products to help extend equipment life and oil drain intervals.
Conclusion Safety, environmental care and productivity are intrinsically linked. Mobil products and services are designed to help minimise downtime by providing long drain intervals and improving equipment reliability. They support power industry operators in increasing the safety of their staff; some of the lubricants’ properties also help to reduce some environmental impacts by improving energy efficiency4
and therefore power
output, which helps deliver operational excellence beyond productivity.
