Shell Turbo S4 X 32
Premium based industrial steam, gas and combined cycle turbine lubricant
Shell Turbo S4 X 32 main applications:
- Power and industrial steam, gas & combined cycle turbines Shell Turbo S4 X 32 is used as the lubricating oil of choice in modern steam, gas and combined cycle turbines.
- Note that some applications with highly loaded gearboxes require a lubricant with enhanced anti-wear performance - for these applications use Shell Turbo S4 GX.
- Further industrial applications
Shell Turbo S4 X 32 may also be used for other industrial applications requiring a high performance gas turbine oil, such as the lubrication of turbo compressors.
Shell Turbo S4 X 32 is based on Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) technology and has been developed to meet the demands of the latest high efficiency turbine systems. Designed to offer outstanding, long term performance under the most severe operating conditions Shell Turbo S4 X 32 will minimise deposit and sludge formation even under cyclic peak loading conditions.

Performance, Features & Benefits of Shell Turbo S4 X 32
+ Extended oil life
Shell Turbo S4 X 32 delivers exceptional resistance to oxidation even under conditions of high oxidative and thermal stress. Excellent results in both the ASTM dry TOST and the TOST life test (ASTM D943) demonstrate the potential for Shell Turbo S4 X 32 to offer extended service life and reduced maintenance costs when compared to conventional mineral oil technology.
+ Enhanced Equipment protection
The greater resistance against varnish and sludge formation provided by Shell Turbo S4 X 32 allows turbine systems to operate reliably even during severe peak load operation. Minimising the formation of sludge and bearing deposits not only reduces the wear of critical system components, but can also reduce the risk of an unplanned turbine shutdown.
+ Enhanced System Efficiency
Demulsibility, air release and resistance to foaming are critical performance factors for oil in the latest turbine designs (especially turbines which have shorter oil residence times). Shell Turbo S4 X 32 offers excellent performance in all three areas, ensuring that optimum operating conditions are maintained.
