Mobil Gas Compressor Oil is a premium quality, high performance, synthetic gas compressor lubricant based
on poly-alkylene glycol. It is primarily intended for use in gas compressors for hydrocarbon and chemical gases
where the crankcases and bearings operate in a gas filled atmosphere. It is particularly suitable for marine
service on vessels carrying liquefied gas cargoes. It also has application in general industry where problems
with oil and gas solubility issues have resulted in less than satisfactory equipment performance. Compared with
conventional mineral oil, Mobil Gas Compressor Oil has a lower gas solubility and consequently resists dilution
and has improved viscosity control which results in additional protection against wear, improved efficiency and
reduced foaming.
Mobil Gas Compressor Oil is a special purpose synthetic product developed to reduce the problems resulting
from gas dissolving in the lubricant and causing problems with wear, sealing, increased maintenance and frequent
oil changes.
It offers the following features and potential benefits:
Reduced hydrocarbon and Chemical Gas Solubility
Increased oil drain intervals versus mineral oils
Suitable for use with a wide range of gases, including
vinyl chloride and butadiene
Does not promote dimerisation of butadiene or generate
solid deposits
Advantages and Potential Benefits
Improved viscosity controlReduced component
wearReduced downtime and lower maintenance costs
Extended production capability, less downtime
Improves compressor efficiency for these gases and
simplifies inventory
Reduces maintenance and clean up
Applications: It is particularly suitable for marine service on vessels carrying liquefied gas cargoes. Mobil Gas Compressor Oil is recommended for the lubrication of crankcases and bearings operating in gas filled
atmospheres including:
Liquefied petroleum gases such as propane and butane
Liquefied natural gases such as methane and ethane
Hydrocarbon chemical gases such as ethylene, propylene and butylene
Chemical gases such as ammonia, vinyl chloride monomer and butadiene
