Reduce service costs, avoid process interruptions, and extend equipment life with real-time oil condition monitoring for bioenergy operations.
Engines, gearboxes, and hydraulic systems used in bioenergy production often run under high heat and load, processing variable fuels and materials. These conditions accelerate oil breakdown, introduce contamination, and increase the risk of failure.
Tan Delta’s real-time oil condition monitoring gives you continuous visibility into oil degradation, wear, and contamination—enabling smarter maintenance, fewer shutdowns, and reduced lifecycle costs across your site.
Detect faults early and avoid breakdowns that delay delivery schedules.
Base service timing on actual oil condition, not calendar intervals.
Lower oil and filter use, reduce labour, and avoid emergency repairs.
Monitor CHP engines, gearboxes, and power units in real time.
Reduce waste oil volumes and unnecessary part consumption.
Act on live data trends instead of relying on fixed schedules or visual inspections.
Tan Delta systems are deployed in cogeneration plants, gas engines, and conveyor systems handling biomass and waste-derived fuels. Operators rely on live oil data to protect equipment, extend oil life, and reduce unplanned process downtime.
Tan Delta’s system provides reliable oil condition insights for bioenergy operators working in harsh, high-contamination environments. Reduce lifecycle costs, extend engine uptime, and optimise your maintenance program with one platform.
Real-time oil condition analysis for fixed installations in standard and hazardous environments.
Pre-configured kits with sensors, displays, and cabling — engineered for quick install into engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, and rotating equipment.
Displays, gateways, and manifolds for integration, readout, and remote monitoring in any environment.
How does oil condition monitoring help in bioenergy operations?
It provides real-time visibility into oil degradation, wear, and contamination, helping reduce unplanned downtime, improve servicing efficiency, and extend asset life.
What bioenergy equipment is it compatible with?
Tan Delta systems are used on CHP engines, gas engines, gearboxes, conveyors, hydraulic systems, and generators—any equipment using lubricating or hydraulic oils.
What kind of faults can it detect?
The system can detect thermal degradation, soot and fuel dilution, water ingress, and early-stage mechanical wear—well before failure occurs.
Can it integrate with SCADA or plant control systems?
Yes. Data can be integrated with PLCs, SCADA systems, control panels, or accessed via cloud dashboards depending on your setup.
What is the TDN Value?
TDN (Tan Delta Number) is a single real-time value that represents overall oil condition. It is calculated from the sensor’s raw data and allows users to track oil health and rate of change over time. TDN enables data-driven decisions on when to service or replace oil.
How do I view the oil condition data in the field?
Data can be displayed in-cab, sent to mobile devices, or viewed remotely via Tan Delta’s online platform, depending on your integration setup.
How is the data accessed?
Data is available through on-site controllers or remotely via cloud dashboards, SCADA systems, or integrated control panels.
