The adverse effects of sulphur to health and the environment have caused limits to be set for its content in diesel fuel. For example, the maximum sulphur content in the EC Directive 98/70/EC and US Environmental Protection Agency is 50 ppm (starting from year 2005) and 15 ppm (from October 2006), respectively. As a result, […]

All lubricants leak somewhat from their machinery. While this fairly innocuous in most applications, they may contaminate the food in the food-processing industry. The challenge is therefore to find a lubricant that meets its mechanical requirements and also the health standards. In recent years, due to the global establishment and implementation of Hazard Analysis and […]

Mineral-based or petroleum-based lubricants are detrimental to the environment, as they are not easily biodegradable and are toxic towards aquatic organisms, and based on a non-renewable resource. Due to increasing global environment awareness, a keen search for more environmental-friendly lubricants is being made. Lubricants comprise 97%-98% base fluids with 2% performance additives. For better environmentalfriendliness, […]
