Safe, efficient, and reliable operation of equipment like the drawworks, top drive, rotary table, and mud pumps depends on proper lubrication. Water, dust, and dirt make lubricant contamination a major concern, but oils and greases must also withstand extreme temperatures, shock, and high loads. DropsA manufactures different lubrication systems, including wire rope lubrication, for equipment carrying heavy loads in harsh conditions, along with pressure-rated fittings and anchor blocks, pressure safety valves and check valves, and advanced filtration components.

From compressors and gas turbines to pumps, valves, and actuators, every component needs precise lubrication to reduce friction, minimize wear, and ensure reliable operation. Select DropsA systems use lubricating oils selected for viscosity characteristics and exceptional contamination resistance. We offer reciprocating compressor systems for onshore and offshore processing, which feature one running and one standby pump, a pressure safety valve, check valves, pressure gauges, and a master divider.

Whether handling liquids or gases, pipelines pose some particular lubrication challenges. Beyond temperature extremes and contamination risks, pipeline equipment is often remote, and devices like valves operate only intermittently. DropsA offers automated equipment, including flow sensors, pressure switches, and more, customized for your machinery and designed for easy field replacement.

Unplanned downtime resulting from poor lubrication of refinery equipment can be extremely expensive. Prevention means putting maintenance programs in place to ensure every pump, compressor, turbine, gearbox, and fan gets the right quantity of the right lubricant at the right time. Our oil mist systems deliver atomized oil, carried in clean, dry air, to bearing surfaces, helping reduce vibrations, lower operating temperatures, extend bearing life, and save money by using significantly less oil than traditional lubrication systems.

Offshore lubrication needs to be reliable, low-maintenance, and resistant to highly corrosive, rugged conditions. Selecting the wrong lubricants or using inadequate lubrication can lead to accelerated wear, damage, and disruptive, dangerous failures. DropsA carries ATEX-compliant automatic grease systems that can handle marine and oil conditions, dual-line distribution configurations for variable pressures and temperatures, pneumatic drives to reduce electrical hazards, and stainless steel components for saltwater environments.
