How it works

First we prove the savings

We work with your team to design protocols to compare improvements against your base data.

Graphene in one minute: a single atom thick carbon layer that coats metal inside your engines, reduces friction, removes heat, and reduces wear. All these benefits without disruption to your operations.

We learn your operation

We run the trial on site

You see the numbers

Measurable impact

Savings you can measure on your mine

Up to 8%

Diesel reduction in trial conditions— typically 5–8% once validated on site

Less wear

Smoother metal surfaces and longer life for engines and drivetrains

~30 days

Typical window to validate results on your operation

Mining

Diesel powers almost everything that moves at a mine. When friction reduces inside your engines, you burn less fuel—and your maintenance team spends less time fighting wear on the assets that matter most.

Simera Trace combines graphene expertise with an on-site benefits trial. We set it up with your people, measure against your baseline, and show what energy and maintenance savings look like in your real operating conditions.

Results vary by load, equipment mix, and based on your data. That is why we validate on your mine—not with generic promises.

Cut energy costs. Protect your fleet.

Validated 8%-13%

Diesel reduction in light vehicles—expected 3%-5% savings on heavy equipment.

Less wear

The tribochemical action of graphene reconditions the engine from the inside and provides longer life for engines and drivetrains.

Why graphene

Advanced science. Explained simply.

Graphene is pure carbon—one atom thick, incredibly strong, with ultralubrication properties. In your engines it reduces friction by 50% and wear by 20-70% with Point of Seizure reduced by 30%, so you save energy and protect engines.

Less friction at pistons, rings, and bearings

Heat moves away from contact surfaces faster

A protective layer when oil film disintegrates

Start your fuel savings trial

Less friction

Microscopic graphene flakes plate onto metal surfaces inside the engine—so parts slide against graphene, not bare metal.

Better heat transfer

Friction creates hot spots. Graphene pulls heat into the oil and block—protecting rings, liners, and bearings under load.

Boundary protection

When oil pressure drops at start-up or under extreme load, graphene stays on the metal—reducing scuffing until the full oil film returns.

Tribochemical action

Graphene platelets pack tightly into crevices, cavities, scraes and asperities inside the engine, and fill them up. This “reconditions” the engine from the inside out to reduce blow by, and lengthen engine life.
