Gas Engine Lubrication Opportunities for Archer Lubricants Biomass

Gas Engine Lubrication Opportunities for Archer Lubricants Biomass Digestion, Landfill and Clean Gas Applications

Market Caterpillar, Jenbacher Sales are up Re-shoring of Industries that use Gas Engines and increased CHP Legislation (Fed and State) driving capture of biomass gases at feedlots and farms Emerging Market in our own backyard…

Market The Renewable Gas Engine Market grows with the population.

Competition Biogas and Landfill • Mobil Pegasus 605 • Chevron HDAX LFG • Conoco El Mar Supreme Clean Gas • Mobil Pegasus 805, 905, 1005 • Chevron HDAX 40 • Conoco El Mar LA 40 What’s the difference?

Market GEO Market 100 Mgal per year; 4% Biogas CHP Oil durability and reliable drain intervals critical Users are risk averse; engines are expensive and maintenance proscribed Small compared to overall NGEO Market, but important differences…

Renewable GEO Market Use Medium Ash vs Low Ash products Engine assets are owned by the feedlot owners, municipalities; not power generators or pipelines Oil analysis is important, so local support is ideal

Value Proposition Extended oil drain with proven success Field support from the Dealer Better deposit/valve recession control Proven Value for the Customer…

OEMs • GUASCOR – Smaller engines, commonly used in landfill applications – Currently in trial, successful so far • GE Jenbacher – Most common in biomass digestion • Caterpillar • Cummins, Wartsila, Deutz, MAN, RR, MTU etc… All require a field trial or some sort of approval.

Guascor 150 k. W to 1240 k. W

Jenbacher 250 k. W to 4. 4 MW

Relevant Questions • How many engines does the site have? • Inquire about the specific engines used to obtain engine Information – – – Manufacturers Model Numbers Serial Numbers How old are the engines? How long can they run between rebuilds? • Does the site have an analysis of the gas composition? If so, ask for a copy of the analysis. •

Relevant Questions • What oil are they using now? – What’s current oil drain interval? – What parameter are they using to set their oil drain interval? • TBN, TAN, metals, etc. – How much make up oil are they adding? (weekly or daily quantity per engine) Some engines may require more make-up. Determine what operator will value: extend drain interval, reduced make-up oil, reduced down time.

Timeline • June – Finishing trial at feedlot with Guascor engine – Video Testimonial • July – Creation of collateral materials – Incorporate into training – Obtain additive

Timeline • August/September – Distributor/Dealer Training – Product Launch Announcement • October – Distributor/Dealer Training – Newsletter Article • November – New Product Launch – Advertising

Questions or Comments?

Why do we need different oils for different fuel sources? • Biomass gas and landfill gas are much dirtier than clean methane extracted from the ground • The impurities are much more acidic • Require “medium ash” in Bio and Landfill, “low ash” in clean applications • Landfill gas has the additional problem of a much more diverse and variable impurities content. Cow poop is pretty consistent.
