Transformer Oil Recycling by Hydrotreating in Kansas City
A naphthenic oil hydrotreater that turns waste transformer oil into PCB-free, water-white, low-sulfur insulating oil, with a thermal oxidizer for safe off-gas disposal.
Hydrogenation of waste transformer oil (electrical insulating oil) can produce an oil product that is far better in quality and yield than fixed-bed clay adsorption or reaction with sodium metal. This is proven at EMI of KC, a valued client of Sequoia.
The 5 million gallon/year naphthenic oil hydrotreater in Kansas City, Kansas (USA) produces oil free of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls, known carcinogens). The product oil has a water-white appearance and low sulfur concentration.
Sequoia’s scope
Sequoia designed the complete plant, supplied all processing equipment, and also supplied a thermal oxidizer for safe disposal of process off-gases from the plant.
