Transformer Insulating Oil Recycling
What Happens to aging dielectric oils?
Contamination is the major cause of oil breakdown and subsequent
transformer failure. Water and particulate contamination challenge
the effectiveness of dielectric properties to maintain minimum 30kv
performance to assure expected device life and service reliability.
Water is the acid enabling mechanism that reduces TAN (total acid
number). Particulate contaminates decrease IFT (interfacial tension),
and power factor. Oil color testing is directly related to particle
contamination. As the dielectric oils age you may experience any
of the following
• High replacement costs
• Disposal costs
• System failure
• Service Outages
• Moisture in oil
• Contaminants in oil
Solution: COMO Filtration
Systems
COMO has standard and custom designed Transformer
oil specific equipment that ranges from single filter element Load
Tap Changer and on-site transformers to in-plant multi-stage PLC
(programmable logic controller) controlled 1 micron particulate
filtration with Fullers Earth sequence and post filtration. Batch
recycling machines to 3000 gallon process volumes are also part
of the mix.
