About TriboTech: consulting engineering firm in tribology

Hans Møller has spent more than four decades in energy — from mechanical coal sampling in the 1980s and power-plant chemistry into applied tribology and the condition monitoring of offshore wind fleets and 400 kV transformers. His foundation is the Theory of Sampling: a result is never better than the sample behind it — the principle underneath everything TriboTech does with oil and grease. He takes full ownership of every project he runs, and clients rely on that and on the long-term relationships he builds and keeps. He stays in it because the work is specialist, often overlooked, and matters to the infrastructure it protects.

• M.Sc. Physics & Chemistry
• In energy since 1981
• Theory of Sampling (TOS)
• DGA & transformer oils

Jesper Vinther came to tribology from research science. He holds an M.Sc. in process engineering and a Ph.D. in nanotechnology from Aarhus University, where his work centred on surface engineering and electrochemistry — the surface science that underpins lubrication and wear. He has held research stints at Caltech and DTU, has peer-reviewed publications to his name, and is a co-inventor on patent application WO/2020/173822. He is a Certified Lubrication Specialist (CLS) for tribology and oil analysis, and he chairs Danish Standard committee S-510 (IEC fluids for electrotechnical applications) — the role he took over from Hans. Trained in the Theory of Sampling under Kim H. Esbensen, he co-developed TriboTech's grease-analysis method for early bearing-failure detection and turns analytical data into recommendations clients can act on.
