Industrial Surplus Inc is a company in New Mexico that deals in transformer oil disposal. Transformer oil is a refined or treated crude oil used for insulating mechanical parts. The insulation process helps keep the internal parts of mechanical devices cool. This is a much more efficient method than the original, more expensive way of pumping air through the machine to regulate its temperature. In the 1930's pcb oil was used to cool mechanical parts. Pcb oil is fire retardant, but it releases highly toxic fumes into the air when heated to high temperatures. Its use was banned in the United States late 1970's. Today, only non pcb oil is used. This oil is a significantly less toxic substance and is utilized to help reduce the threat of environmental contamination.
Non pcb oil can be processed by acid, hydrogen, or other solvents to help attain the right insulating properties for the customer. It is important to unsure the product meets the specified temperature tolerance upon delivery with respect to the the transformer oil buyers. The definition of uninhibited oil is any oil processed free of the additives that improve oxidation. Inhibited oil is any oil processed with the use of those additives. The type and amount of additives used must be discussed and agreed upon with the client before delivery. It will be necessary to provide detailed documentation of all additives used to process the oil.
Transformer oil price fluctuates constantly with the ever-changing economy. It is cost effective for transformer oil buyers to expend the man hours in search of the lowest possible price from transformer oil importers. The delivery of transformer oil is highly regulated due to safety and environmental concerns. It is necessary to be familiar with your state's regulations before attempting transport.
