Spectro and Jet-Care Seeing Growing Demand for Engine Oil Analysis

Spectro and its sister-company Jet-Care International say they are experiencing increased demand for their oil and debris analysis programs in Europe and the United States.

David Glass, Spectro's founder and CEO, attributes the growth to the fact that both manufacturers and operators recognize the programs' potential to diagnose a problem before it becomes an expensive maintenance issue.

Today, the laboratories of the two companies are analyzing samples from OEMs such as Honeywell, Turbomeca, Eurocopter, Williams International and Pratt & Whitney, and major operators as well.  More than 40,000 engines, in over 80 countries are involved.

Spectro and Jet Care's Engine Condition Health Online (ECHO) application emails participating operators each time their oil samples are analyzed with the results and trend data.  If particular concerns are raised from a specific analysis result, the laboratory warns operators immediately by telephone.

ECHO's trending information also allows operators to make more informed decisions regarding overhaul, maintenance, parts procurement and other planning and purchasing decisions, the companies believe.  05-20-2007.
