Key Objectives:
• Continuous Operation: The system operates while the transformer remains in service, eliminating the need for shutdowns during moisture removal.
• Moisture Removal: Achieves moisture content reduction from over 5% to below 0.01%, significantly enhancing oil quality.
• Contaminant Removal: Filters out solid particles down to sub-micron levels, ensuring compliance with cleanliness standards (NAS 5 / ISO 15/12).
• Real-Time Monitoring: Equipped with sensors and monitoring devices that track moisture content, temperature, and other key parameters to provide real-time feedback on the transformer’s condition.
• Self-Regulating: Some systems are self-regulating, automatically adjusting to changes in moisture levels and operating conditions to optimize drying efficiency.
• Compact and Efficient: The system is typically compact and can be installed directly on the transformer, often requiring minimal space and integrating smoothly into existing transformer setups.
Applications:
• Power Utilities & Power Generation Plants: Ensuring reliable operation of transformers in power generation.
• Industrial Facilities: Providing efficient oil purification for transformers in manufacturing environments.
• Substations: Maintaining optimal performance in electrical substations.
• Maintenance Services: Portable filtration units available for on-site transformer maintenance.
Features & Benefits:
• Operates continuously unattended
• Solid Removal filters to separate the solid particles up to 1.0 micron size
• Maintains Moisture up to or less than 5 PPM in the transformer
• Online minute to minute monitoring of moisture PPM in the Transformer oil
• Real time performance monitoring can be done from the control room through SCADA
• No need to shutdown the transformer, it remains in-service during process
• Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces overall transformer maintenance costs by extending the lifespan of both the transformer and the oil.
• Improves oil quality parameters i.e. physical, electrical and chemical
• Removes oil acidity level & carboxylic acid
• Improves dielectric strength of oil
• Extends oil & transformer service life – maintaining PPM & NAS value
• Enables transformer to run at higher load cycles
• Environmental Compliance: Operates with eco-friendly practices, contributing to sustainable energy management.
