Two advanced Gas Engine Oils expand our Industrial Portfolio

The new RAVENOL Gas Engine Oil LFG SAE 40 was developed specifically for a wide range of applications in demanding landfill gas, specialty gas, and biogas plants. Especially under difficult operating conditions, this oil stands out thanks to its exceptionally low-ash formulation, excellent acid neutralization, and high resistance to oxidation and nitration. These properties reliably protect the engine and oil from corrosion, deposits, and premature aging, even over extended periods, when exposed to aggressive gas qualities.

A significant advantage for operators is that a single product can be used for both landfill gas and biogas applications, which greatly simplifies product selection and reduces inventory requirements for facilities with mixed systems.

In field tests, including those conducted on GE Jenbacher, CAT, and MWM engines, the product impressively demonstrated its performance capabilities. Among other things, it resulted in significantly reduced piston deposits and a trouble-free extension of the oil change interval by approximately +50% compared to standard landfill gas oils on the market.

Manufacturer Approvals:

• Caterpillar CG gas engines
• MAN M 3271-4 (special gas)
• MAN M 3271-5
• MWM TCC gas engines

There are many additional recommendations from RAVENOL (see TDB).

To support these recommendations, numerous tests were conducted in advance under real-world operating conditions by the various manufacturers listed, and the results were evaluated as successful.

Key advantages summarized:

• Developed equally for special gas, landfill gas, and biogas
• Low-ash formulation for reliable protection of the engine and exhaust aftertreatment systems
• Excellent acid neutralization and corrosion protection
• High resistance to oxidation and nitration for stable viscosity and long service life
• Up to +50% longer oil service intervals compared to standard LFG oils on the market
• Field-tested: in GE-Jenbacher, CAT, MAN, and MWM engines, and more

With the new RAVENOL Gas Engine Oil SAE 40, we are now offering you a high-performance gas engine oil for use in modern natural gas and biogas engines. The product was specifically developed for maximum efficiency, operational reliability, and cleanliness. It is optimally tailored to the requirements of modern combustion technologies: stoichiometric and lean-burn.

Particularly noteworthy are the very low levels of piston deposits, minimized sludge formation, and reliable wear protection, which together contribute to a long oil life and extendable oil change intervals.

In real-world applications, the oil has already proven itself in numerous engines, including CAT, Waukesha, GE-Jenbacher, Wärtsilä, and MWM engines. This makes it a high-performance solution for operators who prioritize high efficiency, maximum reliability, and cost-effective operation.
