NGS Synthetic Blend Compressor Fluids

Petro-Canada’s NGS 1000 and NGS 1500 Synthetic Blend Compressor Fluids are a custom-blended combination of hydrotreated (HT) mineral oil and polyalphaolefin (PAO), fortified with corrosion inhibitor, lubricity improver, antifoam and pour point depressant additives. The additive system is compatible with sour (H2 S) hydrocarbon gas systems.

Features and Benefits

• Protects equipment from corrosion due to sour gas dilution
• Excellent low temperature properties minimize wear in cold temperature starts
• High viscosity index provides a stronger lubricant film over a wide range of temperatures
• Higher viscosity at operating temperature gives greater volumetric efficiency in rotary screw compressors

Applications

• NGS 1000 and NGS 1500 were developed for use as a compressor fluid for flooded screw compressors in natural gas field booster service. It is widely used for applications involving harsh chemical environments and high temperatures.
• NGS 1000 and NGS 1500 are specifically recommended for:
• Compression of the lightest hydrocarbon gases (methane and ethane) where the expected dilution is <10% wt.
• Lubricant / coolant for process and gas rotary screw compressors
• NGS 1500 is intended for larger screw compressors but may be used in smaller compressors that require an ISO 150 fluid
• Lubricant / coolant for process applications and is especially effective in combating corrosion and promoting long life in dry, sour hydrocarbon gas compressors
