Lube-Tech PUBLISHED BY LUBE: THE EUROPEAN LUBRICANTS INDUSTRY MAGAZINE Conclusion


By considering all components, re-addressing solid boundary lubricants, and base oil chemistries of the existing ECF product range, Jet-Lube’s HPHT thread compound has succeeded in satisfying both the stringent OSPAR environmental performance criteria combined with the rigidity and robustness required to withstand the extreme service requirements of HPHT wells.


No.108 page 6


By reformulating away from heavy metal based compounds HPHT has a much lower density, this alone accounts for 50% greater coverage with the same mass. The use of vegetable oils in the existing ECF product range has not only delivered integral biodegradability, it is also a means of supporting more sustainable renewable hydrocarbon source.


In many industries, around 40 percent of a lubricant can be lost to the environment, given the particular aquatic type application the enhanced product biodegradability and aqua toxicity limits any pollution factors delivering the strategy of the OSPAR commission. As time progresses the Harmonized Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF) is quickly becoming a recognized international format included by some environmental agencies outside of the North-East Atlantic as well as in elements other marine type applications (Vessel General Permit (VGP)). This coupled with the Europe REACh initiative truly limits the propensity of harm or damage to the environment, in all a wholly sustainable future of efficient and truly environmentally friendly lubricants.
