                PETROCANADA SENTRON™ LD 8000: OIL CHANGES REDUCED, ESSENTIAL SERVICES MAINTAINED

                25 November 2022

                PETROCANADA PRESENTS A BEST PRACTICE RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS SENTRON™ LD 8000 OIL IN THE COGENERATION FIELD

                STRATFORD GENERAL HOSPITAL’S 120 beds serve Perth County, Ontario, providing a much-needed public service for the county’s thousands of residents. Between its four hospitals, including Stratford General, the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance employs over 1,000 people.

                Good-quality and reliable public services are essential to, and highly valued by, local communities — especially during periods of global uncertainty.

                Stratford General Hospital’s central cogeneration plant, which consists of a 1,137-kilowatt Jenbacher engine with a tank boiler system, keeps these essential services running. Operating an efficient central plant saves the hospital around 8,000 megawatt hours annually of hydropower consumption and close to $350,000 annually in utility costs.

                THE CHALLENGE

                Provide a long-life engine oil with superior performance to reduce equipment downtime and enable AB Energy Canada to consistently provide its maintenance services.

                Prior to adopting Petro-Canada Lubricants products, AB Energy Canada, as part of the maintenance services provided to Stratford General Hospital, had to change the engine oil used in the cogeneration plant Jenbacher engine approximately every three months based on the oil analysis results and related Jenbacher directives. With each oil change requiring the engine to be stopped, such frequent changes were potentially reducing the hospital’s operational efficiency and could be detrimental to its ability to provide essential health care services to the local community.

                THE SOLUTION

                A premium stationary gas engine oil offering extended drain intervals and exceptional wear protection.

                Petro-Canada Lubricants SENTRON™ gas engine oils are high-performance, long-life engine oils used for stationary gas engines in a wide variety of applications, with a key focus on power generation and gas compression.

                SENTRON™ LD 8000 provides exceptional performance in severe service conditions due to its outstanding wear protection, minimizing polish and wear of cylinder liners and piston rings, while helping to reduce carbon buildup.

                THE RESULTS

                • Extended oil drain intervals

                • Less downtime

                • Increased engine efficiency

                • Improved performance in demanding conditions

                • Increased engine uptime
