Global coal demand to remain largely stable through 2025 — IEA
In its last publication, the Agency previously predicted a decrease in demand in 2024, with a moderate decline thereafter.
[LAS VEGAS, NV – SEPTEMBER 24 – 26, 2012] Answering the need for real time data and diagnostics for effective machine maintenance decisions, Spectro Inc. will preview its new, integrated solution for on-site lubrication analysis. This latest generation of portable fluid analysis solutions from the company is available to preview at MINExpo 2012 in Las Vegas, Booth 4107. 
“MINExpo is the ideal exposition to launch this highly advanced, portable lubrication analysis solution,” says Brian Mitchell, Spectro Inc.’s president and CEO, “because mining is one of the important application areas we researched when we developed this product. Much of a mining operation’s equipment is very high value and must operate in extremely rigorous and challenging environments. Regular monitoring of lubricating fluids is essential in keeping these investments running at peak efficiency and to their maximum useful life. Further, lost revenue due to equipment downtime can be substantial to these operators. The time lost in sending samples to remote laboratories in traditional oil and lubrication analysis can be the difference between predictive or reactive maintenance actions.”
With this battery-powered and solvent free tribology system, users can test for machine wear, contamination detection, and lubricant condition directly at the asset. The patent-pending design, housed in a rugged, briefcase sized package, combines particle counting, filtration and molecular and elemental spectroscopy all in one unit. Using simple, touch-screen technology, maintenance and reliability personnel can cost-effectively perform the eight most important lubrication tests in less than eight minutes; including course wear metals, fluid chemistry, TAN/TBN, water content, viscosity, soot, particle count, and filtergram.
