SGS Exhibits at the EOW 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden

July 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Meet SGS at the biggest European Offshore Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition organized by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA). EOW 2009 will be held for the third time on September 14-16, 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden.

During this 3-day event SGS will present to the European audience its wind energy services, such as offshore wind farm project certification and condition monitoring. SGS will be exhibiting at Stand no. B0921.

Visitors will have the opportunity to watch the SGS Wind Energy experts´ live Oil Analysis Demonstration. Effective oil analysis helps identify lubrication-related failures; therefore, regular monitoring of the chemical and physical changes in a lubricant is essential to detect machine wear and provide early warning for potential failures. Oil analysis can effectively reduce maintenance costs and increase the reliability and availability of monitored equipment. Samples for oil analysis can be taken from a wind turbine gearbox, generator or hydraulic system.

In addition to the live demonstration SGS kindly invites you to the Happy Hour at 4:00 PM on Tuesday, September 15, 2009, where the SGS Wind Energy Expert Team will discuss topics such as the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance phases of offshore wind farm projects and the risks they entail, among others.
