Novelty in oil purification equipment at GlobeCоre

GlobeCore is a developing company that continues to please its customers by designing new equipment and improving old units.

In September, the company presented an upgraded degassing equipment for transformer oil – CMM-1H.

It is an improved version of a mobile oil station – CMM-1.0.

Like the previous model, the new unit operates on the principle of vacuum drying, which involves heating the oil and feeding it into the vacuum chamber, where, under the influence of low pressure, the water is evaporated and removed by a vacuum pump.

The new improved CMM-1H unit has several advantages:

  • smart heating control system;
  • a collection of water condensate;
  • a centrifugal (output) pump;
  • ease of management;
  • a separate connection for evacuation of transformer;
  • pumpless vacuum supply.

“Mojave Heat-100” is a compact hot air drying unit

Most stages of maintenance and repair work on power transformers require depressurization of their active part.

Depressurization can result in wet atmospheric air getting into the windings insulation, which is undesirable. To prevent this happening GlobeCore produces a “Mojave Heat-100” unit, the last model was shipped to the Customer in September.

The equipment carries out drying of transformer tanks with dry hot air with was previously purified from moisture and mechanical impurities. Also a “Mojave Heat-100” regenerates the adsorbent.

“Mojave Heat-100” consists of an adsorber, a blower and a heater. The equipment is compact in size, which is convenient for transportation and use.

Adsorbent  regeneration is realized directly in the unit. It eliminates zeolite losses when loading and offloading.

Commissioning of regenerative equipment in Spain

August 16 this year in Seville, Spain was completed the project of putting into operation  a CMM-2R plant for transformer oil regeneration.

The plant  includes all elements needed  to perform regeneration of transformer oil properties (filters, regeneration columns, pumps, tanks, electrical control cabinet, etc.).

This equipment can work in the following modes:

  • automatic regeneration of transformer oil;
  • regeneration with an external degassing unit;
  • reactivation of used sorbent.

The plant’s regeneration capacity is 0.3 m3 / h, and the duration of sorbent reactivation is less than 19 hours.

You can purchase a CMM-2R regeneration plant or get answers to all your questions on through contact information.

СMM-2,2 plant was started up in Jizan

August 8, 2017 our company’s operation personnel performed commissioning and adjustment of the CMM-2.2 unit  in  Jizan (Saudi Arabia).

This equipment is multifunctional, since in addition to cleaning insulating oils from mechanical impurities, water and gases, it also heats electric equipment with hot oil and vacuum drys power transformers. The plant’s capacity in drying and filtration mode, is 2.2 m3 / h, and in  degassing mode – 1.5 m3 / h.

Multiple oil passage through a CMM-2,2 unit provides oil purity with total gas content below  0.5% (at the initial 10.5%) and mass moisture content below 10 g / t (at the initial 50 g / t).

In order to assure easy movement both between transformers and electrical substations, the equipment is containerized and mounted on a single axle trailer.

Additional questions regarding this CMM-2.2 plant can be asked by contacting our managers  on the  contacts link.

Equipment presentations every year in Zimbabwe

A year ago, GlobeCore held presentations in the capital of Zimbabwe, Harare.

Unfortunately, not everyone was able to participate in the events. Therefore, our company was happily to give  another opportunity and to hold a series of presentations, this time in Bulawayo  in June 8, 2017.

The main attention was given to the electrical industry of Zimbabwe: and its issues in purification and regeneration of insulating oils, as well as vacuum treatment and drying of solid insulation of power transformers. Traditionally, the presentation included a practical part. The  laboratory UVR unit demonstrated oil regeneration on the real samples of contaminated industrial oil

GlobeCore is grateful to all participants for their interest and assistance in organization, and is sure that such annual meetings forge fruitful cooperation.

CMM-4/7: now in Finland

On May 31, 2017, the CMM-4/7 unit started its operation in Helsinki (Finland). First it serviced a 400 MVA transformer.

CMM-4/7 is a multifunctional unit  – it has three modes of operation:

  • First the unit warms up and then it starts processing oil in degassing mode. In this mode, the oil is heated to a set temperature, filtered, degassed in vacuum and passes through fine filtration at the exit;
  • The unit heats and filtrates oil in a vacuum column without degassing;
  • The unit diagnoses good condition and serviceability of all components (valves, pumps, etc.).

CMM-4/7 units are used in enterprises engaged in installation and repair of oil-filled high-voltage equipment in workshops and on-site. The processing rate of this unit in degassing mode is 4 m3 / h , and in  heating and filtration mode is 7 m3 / h.

Processed oil parameters:

  • Volumetric gas content – below 0.1%;
  • Moisture content by weight – below 10 g / t;
  • ISO 4406 industrial purity class  – / 14/12;
  • Mechanical impurities content – below 8 g / t;
  • Filtration fineness -5 μm.

The unit is connected to the transformer by TSS (Transformer Security System) to monitor the oil level and to protect the transformer from oil leaks or breaking of hoses.

CMM-4/7 and CMM-12R installed and commissioned in Botswana

In May, 2 more installations of GlobeCore equipment took place. At this time in Gaborone (Botswana) were put into operation two new units  CMM-4/7 and СММ-12Р.

CMM-4/7 processes insulating oil (through drying, degassing, cleaning from mechanical impurities) and heats oil before refilling, it also vacuum dries and evacuates transformers. The degassing mode is designed for a maximum processing rate of 4 m3 / h, and the heating and filtration mode for 7 m3 / h.

CMM-12R is also a multifunctional equipment designed for processing insulating oils and  for maintenance of transformers. It differs from CMM-4/7 in the  possibility to regenerate oil by removing dissolved gases, solid particles, free and dissolved water, as well as oil decay products.

CMM-12R  service program for transformers includes :

  • Removal of sludge from windings;
  • Evacuation;
  • Heating a  transformer and its active parts with hot oil.

The number of GlobeCore equipment is growing in Pakistan

May 13, 2017, the number of GlobeCore equipment in Pakistan increased by one unit.

A CMM-4/7 unit was commissioned by the company’s engineering team in Lahore. This equipment performs heating of power transformers, as well as drying, cleaning, degassing and nitriding of insulating oil.

CMM-4/7 provides:

  • volumetric gas content below 0.1%;
  • moisture content by weight –below 5 g / t;
  • ISO 4406 cleanliness class – / 14/12 .

Regular servicing of power transformers with CMM-4/7 allows to prolong their service life and maintain the reliable operating life of the transformer.

GlobeCore held a presentation in Ecuador on May 3-4

May 3-4, in Quito (Ecuador) GlobeCore together with Tcontrol S.A. organized and held a seminar on modern technologies for cleaning and regeneration of mineral oils, fuels and other petroleum products.

The event was part of a series of presentations held by GlobeCore. in order to raise the awareness of managers and specialists in the energy, fuel, chemical and petrochemical industries. It was also aimed at finding new partners for mutually beneficial cooperation. The seminar was attended by the representatives of different countries such as Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica and El Salvador.

The first day was focused on GlobeCore. equipment in general and the CMM-12R- regeneration plant in particular. This unit was commissioned in Quito in August last year and continues to successfully regenerate transformer oil. Finally, the discussion with questions and answers was held on CMM-12R features and capacity.

The second day discussed a possible technical and commercial cooperation on an individual basis.

The event has reached its goals. Our company has established new partnerships, and showed new opportunities  and new equipment GlobeCore  equipment to conference guests.
