Customer success story – save with Cat NGEO Special Application
Wabash Valley Power Alliance has 61 Cat generator sets rated between 800-1600 kW running on landfill gas (53 3516s).
The Challenge
Caterpillar and their dealer MacAllister completed a 7,000-hour test at their Liberty 3 plant in Monticello, Indiana, versus the Alliance’s current supplier. The challenge was to prove ability to extend drain intervals utilizing complete system solution (Cat oil, filters, S•O•S) and convert the business.
The Solution
MacAllister, with support from Caterpillar, delivered detailed results of the test and the overall dollar value potential savings using the Cat Systems Solution.
Test Results and Projected Savings
Product Performance: 1.7x extended drain intervals
- Extended oil drains by 500 hours per engine where there was no siloxane or silicon issue
Sustainability: 14,500 gallons saved
- Five fewer oil/filter changes annually per engine
- Less waste oil being disposed of annually
Product Savings: 305 fewer oil changes
- $300 reduced labor cost replacing oil and filters per engine
- 300 more work hours available per year
Productivity Savings: $61,000 yearly savings
- $1,000 per engine a year and improved component life. Expecting reduced O&M cost over life cycle of engine
