Unboxing: Shell Turbine Oil with Gas To Liquid Technology (Turbo S4 X & GX)

Noria VP of Services, Wes Cash, explains a base oil formulation you may not have heard of using gas to liquid (GTL) technology.

In this video, Wes discusses:

• The process involved in creating a GTL base oil
• How GTL base oils differ from standard Group I or Group II oils
• Beneficial fluid properties that GTL base oils can offer in turbine applications

Wes also gives a visual demonstration of how a GTL base oil performs against a conventional Group II base oil in terms of its ability to detrain or "de-gas" entrained air bubbles. He discusses other useful properties of GTL base oils—such as resistance to degradation or its lower varnish formation tendency.
