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.
