10. Oceanic HW 500 Series 15 Year Track Record
First Project was The Sun Balmoral
The 5 signifies 5% additives (lubricants, inhibitors etc)
The last two digits signify the glycol content.

11. Trapped Air In HW540 Air Gaps HW 540
Water Vapour from the Fluid can cause Corrosion in Steel Pipes or Components

12. Over-Heating HW540 pH could fall Fluid will turn from blue to green
Small non abrasive black particles of molybdenum will drop to the bottom.

13. Heavy Seawater Contamination of HW 540
A thin layer of oily material could form on the surface
The fluid will turn from blue to green
Molybdenum and insoluble abrasive white salt sinking to the bottom.

14. Oil Contamination in HW540
Oil layer will form at around 3-4% contamination
White emulsion will form and over extended periods bacteria could grow in the oil water interface
Fluid will go cloudy

15. Oceanic HW443 More tolerant to seawater intrusion
Has a Vapour Phase Inhibitor (VPI)
Contains fluorescent dye
Has a 6 year track record
First project Total Ellon/Dunbar
Temperature range -25 to 140°C
Less toxic than HW540 High biodegradability
No antifoam required

16. Working With Petrobras
Current Project is Plasticiser migration from umbilical hoses into the fluid.
HW 525
Nylon 11 liner

17. Fluids Saturated With BBSA
Oceanic HW443
Oceanic HW525

18. What We Are Testing Both HW525 and HW443 Corrosion Effectiveness
Filterability (NAS Cleanliness)
Lubrication Properties
Bacterial Resistance
Elastomer Compatibility

19. Results So Far Corrosion Resistance
Full results will not be available for at least another month
Preliminary testing has shown the corrosion protection in the fluid is unaffected by the presence of BBSA

20. Results So Far Filterability
Through a 0.8µm filter the time for fluid to pass did increase significantly.
The high viscosity of the BBSA caused it to stick to the membrane and slow the flow of fluid.
The BBSA did eventually pass through the filter
