The number of past oil spills in Rhode Island has jsutifiably caused concern about any company that proposes to open transformer oil tanks and drain the oil without spilling it. We understand the consequences of even a small amount of oil that is spilled. We have trained our employees in every aspect of transformer oil disposal and we are pleased to state that we have not lost any oil through a spill or by any other means. Transformers have been in service long enough to be fragile and to have weakened connections and tubing that would not stand up to a metal fatique test. We are aware of vibrations when we begin to operate the disposal lines.
We have successfully managed to cover every aspect of safety and environmental protection concerns. We follow the state and feseral goverment regulations on handling oil that may be heavily contaminated with PCBs, as much of the transformer oil is.
Industrial Surplus thoroughly examines the transformer to detect any metal parts including mountings that may pose a leak problem as the oil is drained. Some experts place the PCB content in the oil as high as 99 percent. It is our commitment to handle the oil removal with the utmost care and without any leakage.
We have the latest equipment to safely remove the oil from your property and transport to the cleaning site. We do not discard any oil. All of the oil we collect is either recycled for further use or incinerated. Please review our web site at www.industrialsurplusworld.com for further information. We do buy Non pcb oil.
The transformer oil buyers and transformer oil importers are the market makers in transformer oil price. The oil is made from a high-grade mineral oil that is a by-product of gasoline. It is very stable under high temperatures so the oil tends to be very expensive. The importers and the buyers have a role and that role usually winds up being price determining.
