Castrol Energy

Castrol offers a comprehensive range of lubricant products designed specifically for the energy sector. This category encompasses high-performance turbine oils, bearing oils and gearbox greases that are developed to meet the rigorous demands of energy generation and maintenance. With an eye on environmental impact, they have been developed to ensure that renewable energy generation remains as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible.

Wind turbine maintenance can be especially challenging, given that wind farms are often installed in remote locations and are subject to harsh weather conditions. Choosing the right lubricants can reduce the need for reapplication, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and require less frequent maintenance and repair.

As an authorised Castrol distributor, Broughton Lubricants provides these specialised solutions that cater to various applications within the energy industry, to ensure reliability and efficiency in power generation and operational processes. Castrol’s products are engineered with the following technologies for maximum performance:

• High oxidation stability: Castrol’s energy products are formulated to resist oxidation, which can lead to sludge formation and corrosion. In this way, they can extend the lifespan of both the oil and the turbine components, and minimise any need for reapplication.
• Corrosion protection: These oils provide a protective barrier against moisture and other corrosive elements to safeguard critical turbine parts against the corrosive impact of inclement weather conditions.
• Foam control: Low foaming characteristics ensure efficient system operation and reduce the risk of cavitation, a common issue in turbine systems.
• Environmental consideration: Castrol's commitment to sustainability is evident in the formulation of these turbine oils - they are designed to be less harmful to the environment than similar products, while delivering superior performance.
• Reduced friction: Alongside these specific benefits, Castrol’s products excel at the fundamentals by reliably reducing wear and ensuring smooth functioning of gears, turbines and bearings in energy applications.

Castrol’s extensive range of energy industry lubricants includes products designed to deliver maximum performance under even the most harsh conditions. This includes:

• Wind turbines that operate under high stress, and extreme weather and temperature conditions.
• Steam turbines, where efficient heat transfer and oxidation stability are critical.
• Hydroelectric turbines that require excellent rust and corrosion protection.
