Transformer oil is used for the smooth operation of transformers, by insulating, cooling, and subduing electrical discharges and breakdowns within the machine. Oils of this nature formally contained pcbs, highly toxic substances that were harmful to the environment and to people, but was later banned in the early 70s. Non pcb oil was formulated as a safer alternative for transformer use, but like with everything else, the oil will eventually lose its insulating and cooling properties as it ages. When this happens it needs to be disposed of promptly.
Disposal of used oil from a transformer must be done according to strict EPA and HIPAA guidelines, because it is toxic to living organisms and very slow to breakdown. Industrial Surplus Inc. encourages companies who want to sell their used oil and dispose of it properly and safely to contact them. They will either reprocess or incinerate it strictly according to state regulations.
This is extremely important because there is a constant need for oil but without the cost of further extraction, which in turns saves energy. When the oil can no longer be used as a lubricant it can be converted to fit the needs of industrial institutions that use recycled oil as an electricity and energy source. Transformer oil buyers don't have to depend on transformer oil importers overseas to ship them refined oil.
Industrial Surplus is a Better Business accredited company that can manage the transformer oil disposal in Nevada. Once the recycling process is complete, this oil can be used as an energy source for a wide range of industries. The transformer oil price for a company to dispose of used oil will cost a whole lot less than having to dispose of contaminated or non potent oil themselves. Industrial Surplus Inc. is definitely a smart choice!
