for Ariege Biomasse Cogeneration, explained,
" We currently generate 4 megawatt-hours
of electricity via the turbine,
and we draw off our hot water, which is
used to produce wood pellets, the Pepite
brand. We belong to the Monnet-Seve
group, which is a national sawmill. On
this site, we operate a sawmill, which
frees up related resources and allows us
to run both cogeneration via our bark and
granulation via sawdust and chips. "
In a significant development in 2023,
Ariege Biomasse Cogeneration initiated
a partnership with TotalEnergies Lubrifiants
to optimize the maintenance
of its turbine. TotalEnergies Lubrifiants
supplied its advanced Preslia Evo lubricant
and offered the Fluid Management
service.
Preslia Evo, a high-performance lubricant,
is specifically tailored for steam,
gas, and combined cycle turbines, as
well as turbo compressors. It has been
formulated to preserve turbine cleanliness,
prolong lubricant lifespan, and enhance
turbine reliability and protection.
" Preslia Evo developed in response
to a specific need of the world's leading
turbine manufacturers, " said Isabelle
Pauly-Toscano, technical and commercial
manager with TotalEnergies Lubrifiants.
" They wanted a specific lubricant
capable of coping with recurring problems
of varnish deposition. Thanks to a
specific formulation of Preslia Evo, we
keep the turbine clean. Lubricant life is
extended through improved resistance
to oxidation, improving reliability and
protection of the turbine, while reducing
the carbon footprint. "
" Fluid Management is a service associated
to the sales of our products.
It is based on several stages, " said Max

Jegic, head of Fluid Management Services
with TotalEnergies Lubrifiants. Fluid
Management service encompasses an
on-site audit, the development and presentation
of technical and commercial
proposals, a risk analysis, service supervision
by TotalEnergies Lubrifiants'
operational teams, and the creation of a
comprehensive work report.
Since the introduction of Preslia Evo
and the Fluid Management service (Figure
6), Ariege Biomasse Cogeneration
has witnessed a notable improvement in
turbine performance and reliability. However,
it's worth noting that this evaluation
is based on just a few months of product
implementation, and longer-term benefits
may continue to emerge.
Ariege Biomasse Cogeneration stands
as one of the pioneering biomass cogeneration
plants in France to adopt Preslia
Evo and the Fluid Management solution
from TotalEnergies Lubrifiants. This partnership
serves as a testament to the
potential of TotalEnergies Lubrifiants'
technologies in enhancing the performance
and reliability of biomass combustion
turbines.
" The good thing about your service is
that you feel totally supported, " Combeleran
said. This collaboration underscores
the commitment of Ariege Biomasse Cogeneration
and TotalEnergies Lubrifiants
to advance the efficiency and sustainability
of biomass cogeneration in France,
emphasizing the pivotal role of cuttingedge
lubricants and fluid management
services in achieving these objectives. ■
