MORE INFORMATION ON OIL AND ENGINE FROM SLUDGE ANALYSIS

The deposition of sludge formed in engines can be prevented quite effectively by dispersants. However, these are incorporated into the sludge at higher levels than necessary for the disperant action. A better knowledge of the creation and nature of the sludge could help in devising ways to prevent the formation or deposition more efficiently.
