About Us
We consider oil as an asset, not a consumable
Hydrachem provides hydraulic, lubrication and process services for high-value rotating assets. Our comprehensive maintenance solutions optimise system performance and longevity. We specialise in the systems that support the operation of turbines, rotating equipment and large compression plant.
Special purpose oil systems
We take care of your machinery's oil systems with a customised, engineered approach for each asset. Our team includes resources and technical staff for proactive planning, ensuring readiness for critical situations and unexpected events. In case of an unplanned shutdown, we’ve got you covered with pre-engineered and approved plans to maximise the opportunities that may arise from such events.
For asset owners who want tighter control of the maintenance budget
We developed Oil Conditioning as a Service (OCaaS), giving you peace of mind that your special purpose oil system remains in spec. Fixed price and locked-in, we use our expertise to prevent unexpected costs from equipment failures related to the oil system.
Unlike traditional service providers, we offer a results-driven, performance-based arrangement where customers pay for outcomes, creating shared value and delivering a reduction in total cost of ownership.
Optimise asset reliability and minimise maintenance costs:
- Treat lubrication and hydraulic fluids as valuable assets, not consumables.
- Engineered approach to achieve lubrication and fluid power-enabled reliability, ensuring systems operate at their Optimum Reference State (ORS).
- Three-phase development program encompassing assessment, engineering, and implementation, along with ongoing support and proactive maintenance.
Turbine system maintenance
We keep your turbines and critical rotating gear in check. From lube oil to seal oil, hydraulic/starter systems, fuel oil, and fuel gas – we've got it covered. We’re with you from installation to the very end of your asset's life.
