A Florida-based Seminole Generating Station experienced severe operating problems such as pump failures, filter plugging and valve sticking with the fluid it was using in its hydraulic systems. These issues were causing production inefficiencies and rising maintenance costs. Seminole decided to test ChevronTexaco's Clarity Hydraulic Oil, an ashless additive system that is biodegradable, in the generating station's coal unloading rotary dumper. Since implementing use of the new oil, Seminole hasn't experienced a single costly hydraulic system failure, according to their maintenance team. This outstanding performance convinced the team to employ the oil in additional applications, and it has since successfully eliminated copper leaching from ZDDP in oil coolers and motors.
