No – pyrolysis oil has different chemical composition, viscosity, and contamination profile. It is not used in transformers and requires separate processing systems. Fluidex focuses on mineral and ester-based transformer and turbine oils, not pyrolysis fuel recovery.

An oil vacuum dehydrator heats the oil, then exposes it to a deep vacuum, where water evaporates at low temperatures. Fluidex systems maintain <10 ppm water levels, restoring BDV and preventing flashovers. Perfect for humid climates or after transformer repairs.

Yes. Fluidex offers marine-grade oil purifiers with stainless steel housings, compact frames, and shock-proof components. Ideal for ships with onboard transformers, hydraulic gear, or winch systems. Units remove water, sludge, and salt contaminants from oils in harsh marine environments.

Tan delta testing reveals insulation condition inside transformers. However, oil quality directly affects results – if the oil has high moisture or poor BDV, it can falsely indicate insulation degradation. That’s why combining purification (e.g., via Fluidex equipment) with tan delta testing gives the most accurate picture.

Industrial oil filtration systems play a key role in preventive maintenance by continuously removing contaminants from operational fluids. Fluidex systems are designed for a wide range of industrial applications, from transformer stations to heavy-duty hydraulic systems. By keeping oil within cleanliness standards, the risk of component failure is minimized. This leads to fewer emergency repairs, longer equipment life, and significant savings in maintenance budgets. The systems are available in both portable and fixed configurations.

An oil degassing station functions to remove dissolved gases, moisture, and contaminants from crude oil, drilling fluids, or insulating oil. The station improves the oil’s quality by separating gas from liquid, preventing issues like electrical discharge in transformers or gas build-up in pipelines.

Crude oil is degassed by passing it through a degassing unit or station where gases like methane, ethane, and hydrogen sulfide are separated. The oil is heated, and a vacuum or centrifugal force is applied to remove the gases. The degassed crude oil is then sent for further processing or transportation, while the gases are collected for use or disposal.

Transformer oil purification systems are specialized equipment designed to remove contaminants such as water, gases, and solid particles from transformer oil. These systems typically involve heating, filtration, vacuum dehydration, and degassing to restore the oil’s insulating properties, ensuring reliable transformer operation.
