Lubrication Solutions for the PowerGen (Diesel) Industry
Across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, Diesel engines play a critical role in power generation. They offer the reliability, efficiency, and flexibility required for various applications. Diesel engines are widely used in both stationary prime power and mobile back-up power, particularly in areas where other energy sources are unreliable or unavailable.
Diesel engines in power generation face significant lubrication challenges because of high operating stresses, contamination and varying load conditions. Diesel combustion generates soot which can accumulate in the oil. This is especially the case where only high-sulfur diesel is availabe. Excessive soot leads to increased viscosity, sludge formation, and abrasive wear.
Downtime in the power generation industry can have significant repercussions for the companies. It impacts their financial performance, reputation, and operational stability. This can be very costly.
Revenue Loss.
Downtime directly translates into lost revenue as the company cannot sell electricity during outages, especially during peak demand periods.
Penalties and Fines.
Regulatory frameworks may impose fines or penalties for failing to meet contracted energy supply obligations. This can eventually lead to cancellation of the contract.
Increased Operational Costs.
Repairs, replacement of parts, and emergency labor costs during unplanned downtime are significantly higher than scheduled maintenance.

PowerGen (Diesel) Applications
- Prime Power
Large Diesel engines, mostly stationary set-up diesel engines. These are used as the primary source to supply municipal villages, towns, cities and large construction sites.They’re also used for Industrial Power generation like large industrial factories and mining operations to ensure consistent and reliable energy. - Medium sized Stationary Power
Emergency power for critical facilities like hospitals, data centers, airports, and military bases. - Marine and Offshore Applications
Power generation for ships, oil rigs, and other marine installations. - Mobile Power Units
Portable diesel generators used at events,in disaster recovery, and in temporary installations.
We have a comprehensive range of Trunk Piston Engine Oils (TPEO’s) and Diesel engine oils.These are backed with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approvals and/or meet the specifications of these OEM’s.
You also have the reassurance of knowing that Logan Lubricants are specially developed with a built-in “performance reserve” to ensure optimal lubrication at all times and reduced oil consumption. We always have the right product available, whatever the engine you use.
Many Powerplants, both stationary and mobile, can be in very remote places or rural areas. To be able to continually provide power without disruption, the ontime supply of lubricants is critical. With the Logan world-class supply chain we can ensure a timely and reliable supply of lubricants, when you need it and where you need it.
Achieve huge savings
Over the years we’ve supported many customers in Latin America, and Africa helping them deliver a reliable operation and achieve huge savings. Savings of thousands of US dollars annually are very common, depending on the size of your powerplants. Think what savings we could make for you.
We’re Logan, we’re different.
