Q What has made your company decide to put more emphasis on machinery lubrication? A Citizens Energy Group and its sites have gone to great lengths over the past 26 years to seek continuous improvement in machinery lubrication. Citizens encourages areas to continuously improve and become involved to ensure that a safe and reliable system exists for the internal and external customers. Q How does your company view machinery lubrication in terms of importance and overall business strategy? A Citizens views lubrication and how lubrication is handled environmentally as a high priority. Lubrication is the life blood of our machinery and must be properly handled not only to extend machinery life but also to be good stewards of our environment. Q What do you see as some of the more important trends taking place in the lubrication and oil analysis field? A The development of oil handling processes over the past few years has improved. Portable oil analysis instruments for pre-screening oil are plentiful. Procedures and tools have become more precise as we have all grown to understand the benefits of tracking conditions. Q What have been some of the biggest project successes in which you've played a part? A I can think of a few successful projects, starting with a vibration analysis program that has now been in place for 26 years. Like any program, it has had its ups and downs, but it has provided the necessary information to identify faults and to assist in extending machine life. Get to Know … You?
