Water in Lubricating Oil

Author Message   Muhammad Yahya Khan Posted on Friday, April 30, 2004 - 08:03 am:    I am Acting DM Q & EHS in a Diesel Power Plant 120 MW having Eight WARTISALA 18V46 Engines. Due to some problem our lube oil becomes contaminated with water and water concentation inceases to 0.34 % analyzed by Dean & Stark Method. We are using Castrol TLX 554 lubricating oil with TBN 55. We had removed all the oil from the Engine sump and store it in the drums. Now my question is " Can we use this oil for Top up/ Sweetening in our Engines ?" Can we use it in our one Engine or all Engines?" Other Parameters are as under: Viscosity at 100 C Viscosity at 40 C c St c St 14.69 140.75 Viscosity Index Water Contents % 104 0.30 Fe Cr Al Ni Cu T.B.N (ppm) (ppm) (ppm) (ppm) (ppm) 16.55 2 11.5 25.3 1.5 42.21 Can any one suggest some better option?
