PRESS RELEASE
SUBJECT: Analysts, Inc. announces the launch of VitalPointSM— the industry’s first fluid assessment program designed exclusively for power generation companies.
— Analysts’ new VitalPointSM program includes five comprehensive analytical packages; bringing industry-leading protection to the business-critical turbines that drive today’s power industry.
TORRANCE, CA — September 7, 2008. Analysts Incorporated, the acknowledged leader in oil analysis services since 1960, now offers an unprecedented line of analytical services; all developed specifically to meet the needs of power companies. “VitalPointSM represents the most advanced condition monitoring tools currently available for turbine oil users,” states Michael Forgeron, President of Analysts, Inc. “We recognize that power companies need to supply seamless service to their customers” he adds, “and VitalPointSM is designed to help them meet their increasing energy demands while controlling operational costs.”
VitalPointSM—the new power tool in energy diagnostics.
Virtually every home and business depends on the uninterrupted performance of turbines to supply the energy that powers our daily life. Weighing over 100 tons, today’s turbines rotate in excess of 7,500 rpm and can generate Terawatts of uninterrupted power. But this performance comes at a cost—along with energy, these turbines also generate enormous levels of heat, sludge and stresses on oils. VitalPointSM is the best line of defense against these destructive forces. This comprehensive program was developed to help today’s turbine lube-oil systems function at optimal levels—maximizing their ability to cool bearings, flush contaminants, detect in-leakage of gases, actuate valves, and protect critical lube-systems from failure.
The VitalPointSM program includes the following package of services:
TOMSM (Turbine Oil Monitoring) — Modeled from test recommendations in the ASTM D4378, for monthly to quarterly lubricant sampling intervals.
TOQSM (Turbine Oil Quality) — Modeled from the test recommendations in ASTM D4378 for semi-annual to annual lubricant sampling intervals.
QSASM and QSASM Complete — A testing package designed to assess the varnish potential of turbine oil in addition to several other important oil quality parameters.
TLASM (Turbine Lubricant Assessment) — The most comprehensive test package available for turbine oils. TLA covers the majority of the testing outlined in the TOQSM, as well as determining the varnish potential, additive levels and degradation mechanisms. Each report includes customized, detailed interpretations and recommended actions.
CFASM (Control Fluid Assessment) — The most comprehensive test package available for control fluids (phosphate ester lubricants). Phosphate ester fluids can remain in service for many years with proper maintenance. The CFASM package is based on testing
recommended by ASTM, major OEM’s and Analysts’ years of experience helping clients optimize fluid life while avoiding costly fluid replacement and down time. As with the TLASM, each CFASM includes customized, detailed interpretations and recommended actions.
VitalPointSM Diagnostics Include: Spectrochemical analysis, Viscosity analysis, Acid Number analysis, Lubricant Appearance analysis, Water Content (ppm) assessment, Color Assessment, Rust Test, Copper Corrosion analysis, Water Separability analysis, Foaming analysis, QSASM analysis, RULER analysis, FT-IR (Custom) analysis, Custom Reporting, and Sample Package Volume services.
VitalPointSM is yet the latest offering from Analysts, Incorporated—a company with a peerless reputation for pioneering new services and technologies for a wide range of industries. According to Analysts President, Michael Forgeron, this new package of services is simply an extension of their original goal, “Although our technologies have changed over the years, our vision remains the same; to provide the most advanced tests and services so that equipment owners may understand the precise conditions inside any lubricated component. Armed with the best analytical data,” he adds, “production managers can more effectively assess their equipment to prevent breakdowns and maximize profitability.”
VitalPointSM availability and pricing.
VitalPointSM services and analytical tools are currently available and being employed by leading power providers around the country. To learn more about VitalPointSM, contact Car Forgeron at 310-809-7921, or visit www.AnalystsInc.com.
