Varnish and Lacquer Flushing Service in Gas Turbine Lubrication Systems

In December 2025, the technical team of Lubritech Peru S.A.C. successfully executed a comprehensive varnish and lacquer flushing, internal tank cleaning, and oil filtration service on the lubrication system of a Nuovo Pignone gas turbine, at a major industrial facility.

The main objective of the service was the removal of varnish, lacquer, and insoluble contaminants, as well as the restoration of oil condition and internal surface cleanliness, directly contributing to operational reliability and extended equipment life.

The process included initial oil draining, controlled chemical dosing, continuous fluid circulation, permanent process monitoring, and specialized analyses such as MPC (Membrane Patch Colorimetry), showing a progressive reduction in the ΔE index.

Subsequently, internal tank cleaning was performed under strict safety procedures, followed by final oil rinsing and filtration stages.
Final results confirmed compliance with the required cleanliness criteria, achieving NAS 4, ISO 4406 15/13/10, and MPC 3.7, leaving the system in optimal operating condition.

This project reinforces Lubritech Peru S.A.C.’s commitment to technical excellence, operational safety, and critical asset reliability.

Sicelub Lubritech at the 2024 Argentine Tribology Conference

On November 11 and 12, our company Lubritech Argentina actively participated in the Argentine Tribology Conference, organized by the Argentine Association of Tribology (AAT), an institution dedicated to promoting and disseminating tribology knowledge in the country.

This year’s event was particularly meaningful for our Group, as the General Manager of Sicelub Lubritech was elected President of the AAT for the 2025–2026 term, assuming the responsibility of continuing to strengthen this discipline, which is essential for industry.

Throughout the two days, we engaged with the leading tribology professionals in Argentina, sharing experiences, technological approaches, and current challenges related to lubrication, wear, friction, and rotating equipment reliability.

At the closing session, the Association’s President emphasized a powerful message:

Tribology is not only strategic for industry, but for an entire Nation.
International technical studies show that proper application of this science can generate savings equivalent to 1% of a country’s GDP, through reduced failures, improved energy efficiency, optimized maintenance, and extended asset life.

At Sicelub Lubritech, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing Tribology as a strategic tool for reliability, efficiency, and industrial competitiveness in Argentina and across the region.
