At the end of 2015 Primato moved to a new location where the greenhouses are equipped with a combined heat and power installation. “We want to invest in a sustainable crop production”, tells Kevin Pittoors, director of the family-owned company. “The heat of the CHP-installation is used for heating, the electricity for the lighting of the crop and the CO2-emission is processed into plant nutrition.”
Reliability
The CHP-installation is powered by GE Jenbacher 624 engine which are considered among the best in the world, delivering a high performance and reliability. “The reliability is of utmost importance, because we cannot permit a power failure”, explains Pittoors. “That is why we rely on the high-quality engine oils and the experts of Q8Oils. They deliver an excellent service and are really engaged in the monitoring of the oil quality.”
“Because of its design, steel pistons and the high BMEP (Brake Mean Effective Pressure), the GE Jenbacher 624 engine is the ultimate challenge for gas engine oils”, says Alex Maltchev, Senior Product Application Engineer at Q8Oils. “That is why we choose this location to test our Q8 Mahler GR8 gas engine oil.”
High oil stability, low costs
The newly developed Q8 Mahler GR8, with its carefully designed additive formulation, has several interesting characteristics:
- outstanding performance
- high TBN retention
- high oxidation stability
“We want to help customers in reducing operational costs and extending engine lifetime”, says Joris van der List, Technical Service Manager at Q8Oils. “The quality of the Q8 Mahler products remains stable in the long term.”
Mark Hensen, Regional Sales & Technical Manager Germany, Austria & Switzerland adds: “The new Q8 Mahler GR gas engine oils show reduced lacquering and cleaner engines, resulting in less maintenance costs, an extended oil filter lifetime and a lower oil consumption. Ultimately, it’s all about giving our customers the reliability they need for a smooth operation!”
