What is Hydrocarbon
Management?
Hydrocarbons include Fuel,
Lubricants, Coolants, and
Additives (FLCA).
Hydrocarbon Management
(HCM) is core to maintenance,
operations, and asset reliability
Why is HCM essential?
Realization of Competitive advantage
from:
Reduced fuel, coolant, and
lubricant usage
Early detection of equipment
failures
Component life extension
Reduced environmental impact
