Transformer Oil purification – Towards Sustainability and Operational Efficiency with Triple M

Insulating transformer oil is a vital component in electrical power systems, playing a dual role in electrical insulation and thermal cooling. Over time, due to exposure to various operating conditions, the oil’s properties begin to degrade, which can negatively affect the transformer’s safety and performance.

This is where Triple M comes in, offering transformer oil regeneration services using the latest treatment and rehabilitation technologies, in accordance with the highest technical standards. This service is a core part of the company’s strategy for maintaining and safely operating electrical systems.

Causes of Transformer Oil Degradation:

• Oxidation: The oil reacts with oxygen, producing acidic organic compounds that weaken its insulating properties.
• Moisture Absorption: The presence of water reduces the breakdown voltage and increases the risk of electric arcing.
• Gas Formation: Thermal decomposition leads to the formation of gases such as hydrogen and methane, indicating potential internal faults in the transformer.
• Contamination with Solid Particles: Such as carbon fibers or cellulose insulation residues, which increase conductivity and negatively affect oil performance.
  
  

Triple M’s Transformer Oil Recycling Methodology:

• Inspection and Laboratory Analysis:
  The process starts by analyzing an oil sample to accurately assess its condition and determine the required treatment.
• Filtration and Separation:
  Sediments, moisture, and dissolved gases are removed using advanced, high-efficiency purification units.
• Thermal and Physical Treatment:
  The oil undergoes thermal and vacuum pressure treatment to restore its electrical and insulating properties.
• Final Testing:
  Precise technical tests are conducted to ensure the regenerated oil meets standard engineering specifications.

Environmental and Economic Benefits:

• Reduction of hazardous industrial waste.
• Lower costs by avoiding full replacement with new oil.
• Decreased carbon emissions resulting from unsafe disposal of used oil.
• Improved transformer efficiency and enhanced electrical network performance.
