Hy-Green provides wind turbine products, including gear oil and hydraulic oil, engineered to maintain optimal performance in severe conditions such as temperature and climate variations. Our biodegradable formulations have demonstrated superiority over mineral-based alternatives (including synthetic PAOs) improvement for developers and O&M entities, ensuring consistent performance especially in challenging environments.
By minimizing component wear and extending service intervals and minimizing risk associated with maintenance (e.g. technician injury etc), our products contribute to longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs and an increase of c.8% LCOE across multiple assets, crucial factors for offshore wind turbines. Moreover, their eco-friendly nature mitigates the negative effects of oil spills, fires (given the high flash-point of our products) ultimately safeguarding local eco-systems and the environment from potential harm.
Key Benefits:
- Our product is formulated with a sophisticated blend of synthetic ester-based oils boasting rapid biodegradability and ultra-low aquatic toxicity. This ensures peace of mind in the event of accidental spillage or mishaps, whether on land or offshore, minimizing environmental impact.
- Our products fully saturated synthetic composition is inherently polar, resulting in greater adhesion to the metal. Given the low viscosity this means that our products provides a highly tenacious thin lubricating film separating metal surfaces where a high proportion of the wear occurs, resulting in up to 25% less component wear so less manufacturing of gear will need to take place, which is incredibly energy intensive. This benefit is not shared by other competing products.
- Featuring a lower pour point, our product enables wind turbine gearboxes to operate efficiently even at lower temperatures, eliminating congealing or thickening effects and reducing viscous drag for enhanced performance.
- Hy-Green’s synthetic oils feature a higher viscosity index without the need for thickeners and is completely shear stable, resulting in minimal viscosity changes amidst temperature fluctuations compared to mineral-based oils.
- Our wind turbine product components are LuSC listed and Eco-label compliant, ensuring they meet the highest standard of sustainability.
