March 2-3, 2018 in Houston, GlobeCore held a seminar for representatives of the Texas electric power industry.

During the seminar were discussed the issues of aging processes in electrical insulating oils influencing the efficiency of power transformers, including a report on the topic “Purification and regeneration of transformer oils with GlobeCore equipment”.

The practical part consisted of a demonstration of the CMM-0,6 unit and the laboratory UVR unit operation. The latter processed the control samples of used oil, restoring it to be clean and transparent. The results of the experiment impressed all participants of the seminar.

GlobeCore engineers Dave Wilson and Frank May are ready for the guests of the next seminar, which will be held on June 14 at 1110 Paige, Houston, Texas 77003, USA. Requests for attending can be sent by e-mail [email protected] or by phone +1 713-202-7983.

March 5, 2018 a regular presentation of oil purification and regeneration equipment was held in the International Training Center of GlobeCore (Oldenburg, Germany).

This time the event was attended by representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and their partners from Qatar. First of all, the guests were interested in the possibilities of GlobeCore equipment for processing an alternative diesel fuel obtained from pyrolysis oils.

During the presentation, the processing of such fuel was carried out on the  laboratory UVR unit. The samples are analyzed by representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina at their own oil refineries, to continue purchasing negotiations of GlobeCore equipment.

We remind that the UVR plants are versatile units that can be used for cleaning and regeneration of various types of oils, purification of diesel and furnace fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, kerosene, etc.

The second issue from February 2018 of the leading magazine in wind energy “Wind Systems” Magazine, published a Frank May article, entitled “Changing Turbine Gearbox Oil”.

The articles discusses the main points to pay attention to when servicing the gearboxes of wind turbines and, in particular, the oil change. It shows the advantages of the CMM-G gear oil changer from GlobeCore, solving the described task.

We invite you to read the full article.

January this year, the  engineering team of GlobeCore came to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), to present and commission equipment.

This time, the CMM-4/7 unit was put into operation, designed for degassing, drying, cleaning from impurities and heating transformer oils used in power transformers. This equipment is multifunctional, as it can also perform heating of oil-filled equipment with hot transformer oil, vacuum drying and vacuum treatment.

After treatment, transformer oil has the following parameters:

• breakdown voltage – not less than 60 kV;
• content of mechanical impurities – no more than 8 g / t;
• moisture content by weight – no more than 10 ppm;
• volumetric gas content – not more than 0.1%;
• ISO 4406 class of industrial purity – – / 14/12.

A distinctive feature of this commissioning was connection of the oil station to an energised transformer with a TSS security system.

At presentation, our employees brought the representatives of the electricity sector in Malaysia up to date with the capabilities of the GlobeCore equipment, and demonstrated the features of oil regeneration using the laboratory version of the UVR oil station.

In the end of December 2017, GlobeCore specialists visited the United States, commissioning a CMM-10TS unit in a suburb of Chicago.

This unit is different from our stock products, since it was built to employ heat and vacuum to remove water from highly viscous industrial oil. During the commissioning, the unit was able to remove about 16 liters of water from one cubic meter of oil. This is the equivalent of 16 000 ppm water content.

As always, GlobeCore is ready to take orders to manufacture custom equipment.

Dear friends! We are happy to announce that a new service center commenced operations in Costa-Rica in November 2017. This service center will assist our clients throughout the Latin America.

A stock of spare parts will be made available to the clients. It is also possible to visit the new service center to purify and regenerate samples of industrial oil using GlobeCore machines. To do so, contact the center as follows:

September 17, GlobeCore started up and tested a CMM-2.2 unit in Foligno (Umbria), Italy.

This time, the startup and commissioning were carried out on site of a large locomotive manufacturer in Italy.

Italian railers use silicone oil in their locomotive transformers. The oil mostly consists of silicon atoms, its name comes from Latin “silicium” (silicon). This feature gives silicon oil the following characteristics:

• stable temperature;
• good heat transfer;
• resistance to ignition.

Before every purification, it is necessary to ensure:

• the unit is washed from the remains of the previous oil;
• the filter elements are replaced;
• vacuum column activator filters are replaced.

The tests showed CMM-2,2 purifying both mineral and silicone oils equally well.

Representative of LubeTeam Hydraulic Antonio Pisaniello highly commended the work of our company representatives: “We were present at the commissioning of the equipment for filtration of silicone oil for railway locomotive 402B of Ansaldo / Hitachi to in Foligno. The start up was successful. I am satisfied with the work done. I thank you and until the next time”

We are also grateful to our Italian colleagues and look forward to further cooperation.
