Work sites in North Dakota that use transformers must regularly maintain those transformers, which means dealing with transformer oil disposal. The way that transformer oil is disposed of largely depends upon what type is used. Industry standards dictate that non PCB oil be used in all transformers, but older ones that were in use before these laws may use oil that is full of PCBs.
If your North Dakota work site uses PCB oil, it can't be thrown away or recycled using the usual petroleum oil standards. Instead, it must be handled very carefully because it is toxic and very dangerous. Some transformer oil importers may provide disposal services, but many do not. A company could buy the equipment that can be used to handle such waste, but it is usually much too expensive. Someone would also have to be trained to use the equipment, adding yet another expense.
In cases like this, using a service like Industrial Surplus Inc. will allow the business to dispose of both PCB and non PCB oil at a reasonable cost. They are a transformer oil buyers service that will ensure the oil is either recycled or disposed off in accordance with all government laws. In some cases this means incineration, something that most businesses that use transformer oil can't do on their own.
Industrial Surplus Inc. will come directly to your North Dakota site to test the oil and see what procedure needs to be taken to properly and legally dispose of it. The price for the removal and disposal will be set in advance so everyone knows what the cost is and what is expected. They are professional and will do the job efficiently and for a good price.
After removal the business can then re-fill at the prevailing transformer oil price. If the oil had PCBs in it, then they can be replaced with PCB-free oil according to current standards. Knowing that dangerous oil laden with PCBs is not only off your site but properly taken care of is great peace of mind for workers and owners alike.
