About STRATFORD GENERAL HOSPITAL

STRATFORD GENERAL HOSPITAL’S 120 beds serve Perth County, Ontario, providing a much-needed public service for the county’s thousands of residents. Between its four hospitals, including Stratford General, the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance employs over 1,000 people. Good-quality and reliable public services are essential to, and highly valued by, local communities — especially during periods of global uncertainty. Stratford General Hospital’s central cogeneration plant, which consists of a 1,137-kilowatt Jenbacher engine with a tank boiler system, keeps these essential services running. Operating an efficient central plant saves the hospital around 8,000 megawatt hours annually of hydro power consumption and close to $350,000 annually in utility costs.

Prior to being introduced to Petro-Canada Lubricants products, AB Energy Canada, as part of the maintenance services provided to Stratford General Hospital, had to change the engine oil used in the cogeneration plant Jenbacher engine approximately every three months based on the oil analysis results and related Jenbacher directives. With each oil change requiring the engine to be stopped, such frequent changes were potentially reducing the hospital’s operational efficiency and could be detrimental to its ability to provide essential health care services to the local community.

Switching to Petro-Canada Lubricants SENTRON™ LD 8000 enabled AB Energy Canada to limit downtime and maintain Stratford General Hospital’s ability to provide essential services to its patients.
