Addition of nano-sized WS2 additives to oil enhances the performance of the oil, reduces metal wear and increases productivity of engines and hydraulic equipment. Fleet trials have shown the product's value in a range of engines in different vehicle sizes.

As a fledgling democracy in a resource-rich nation, stability and continuity is important for the future development of Mongolia. Techenomics Mongolia is one of a number of mining technology companies playing a part in Mongolia's ongoing growth.

A trial of the use of nano-sized WS2 oil additives in various fleet vehicles operated by a council in a mining area of regional New South Wales, Australia, has demonstrated considerable cost savings for the council and important environmental benefits. The trial showed that the additives increase the life of the oil, and its performance, thereby boosting productivity and reducing maintenance costs. The additives reduce friction and limit metal wear. They are reduce the production of harmful emissions, thus reducing the council's environmental footprint.

Optimisation and productivity are buzz words in mining at present and they also apply to maintenance. In order to have sustainable mining operations, it is important that due attention is given to optimising maintenance, which Techenomics does with its oil analysis, condition monitoring and fluid management services, complemented by the tungsten disulphide additives it distributes.
