Transformer oil filtration
Transformer oil filtration is a process through which sludge, dissolved moisture, and gasses are removed to secure the oil’s quality and performance. Transformer oil is susceptible to degradation as time advances since it is exposed to acid, dust, and moisture. The process filters fine contaminated particles with the help of a filtering device.
The transformer oil filtration plant works on the principle of filter out the impurities through stage-wise filtration, water, dissolved gases, acetylene, hydrogen, and other gases through vacuum extraction and, acid removal through the ion exchange principle. Transformer Oil Filtration is an important part of regular transformer preventive maintenance. The objective of oil filtration is to remove solids (sludge), remove gases present in the oil and to remove moisture from the oil.
