Become an Expert in Gas Engine Oil Analysis
This workshop is designed for professionals who wish to deepen their knowledge of the analysis and evaluation of gas engine oils. In this intensive workshop, you’ll gain comprehensive expertise on the complex aging processes in gas engine oils and learn to interpret lab reports like a true expert. You will learn to identify changes in the base oil and additive system, understand the effects of different types of gases, and evaluate real-world analysis results in an informed manner. Our course is distinguished by its strong practical focus: Using actual used oils from a wide variety of gas engine and CHP applications, you will discuss critical findings with a small, experienced group (maximum of 15 people) and learn how to correctly interpret even abnormal combustion conditions. The in-depth exchange with colleagues and experts will enable you to take your analytical skills to the next level. Immerse yourself in the world of modern gas engine oil analysis and become a sought-after expert in your company!
