ALPGS Series Synthetic Blend Natural Gas Compressor Oils

ALPGS Series natural gas compressor oils are synthetic blends formulated from highly refined hydrogenated peraffinic petroleum and high temperature synthetic base stocks. The addition of syntholate inhibits the formation of varnish and carbon and provides superior thermal and oxidative stability. Utilizing
the superior base stocks fortified with syntholate extends the life of Simmons Synthetics ALPGS Series natural gas compressor oil compared to that of conventional mineral oils and provides the following money saving benefits:

• Reduces lubricant consumption-extended drain intervals and lower vapor pressures reduce lubricant consumption
• Reduces maintenance-syntholate reduces carbon and varnish formation thus extending the time interval between overhauls.
• Excellent lubricity - Provides improved wear protection for bearings and other moving parts.
• Good compatibility - The base stocks and special additive package provide excellent compatibility with system components and inhibit against hydrogen sulfide corrosion.
• Improves safety - Higher flash points provide a greater margin of safety inspection results.
