USA: North America’s geotextile manufacturer comes up with a solution to prevent oil leaks from power transformers.
Chronic oil leaks are the most significant problem for electric power substation transformers.
They cost power producers and distributors thousands of dollars in clean-up, not to mention liability and reputation.
North America’s company Albarrie has come up with a containment solution, called Albarrie’s SorbWeb™Plus Secondary Oil Containment. The solution form layers of smart fabrics to trap and absorb transformer mineral oils around utility substations. This virtually maintenance-free and cost-effective solution is custom-designed to meet site specifications, helping companies achieve environmental compliance in line with SPCC regulations.
The company will also present their solution at this year’s IEEE PES T&D Conference in New Orleans, USA.
Albarrie is a market leader in geotextile manufacturing in North America. They have a proud 40-year history of developing innovative technical fabrics that solve environmental problems. The company partners with utility companies, nuclear power plants, solar and wind farms, hydro power plants, consulting engineers and more to solve transformer oil containment problems using their smart, permeable oil-reactive fabrics.
