A CMM-4 Unit Commissioned in Liberia

In the middle of August this year, representatives of GlobeCore visited Liveria, where they commissioned a CMM-4 unit. The commissioning process included operator training.

The unit is installed on a trailer for easy transportation to the location of serviced transformers. The unit was first started at one of the local hydropower plants. Trials included operation of the CMM-4 in all modes:

  • Oil degassing. In this mode oil was purified with removal of solid particles, water and gas;
  • Oil heating;
  • Pulling vacuum on power transformers. Note that the unit can evacuate not only transformers, but other equipment as well.

The unit performed well in all modes without exception. To receive advice or place an order, please use one of the contacts in the corresponding website page.

The New CMM-1CF for Purification of Oil with Very High Water Content

GlobeCore has successfully completed the final trials of the CMM-1CF unit with the processing rate of 1 m3/hour in May.

The primary mission of this product is not only filtration, but also removal of water from industrial oil. The unit can process oil with water content of 50% and more. The CMM-1CF can process diesel fuel, kerosene, petroleum, heating oil and other petrochemical products with high water contamination.

The unit is based on a fairly simple principle of coagulation. Oil passes through a special filter, where molecules of water form droplets and flow on the surface of the filter into a settling vessel, from which the water can be drained through a valve. To extend the life of the pump and the main coalescing filter, the unit is equipped with a cartridge filter (with the possible filtration rating of 1, 3, 5 or 25 μm).

The СММ-1CF has the following advantages:

  • low power consumption;
  • mobility;
  • compact size;
  • simple operation and servicing;
  • no heating or chemical influence on the processed oil.

GlobeCore has organized and conducted a seminar in the USA

March 2-3, 2018 in Houston, GlobeCore held a seminar for representatives of the Texas electric power industry.

During the seminar were discussed the issues of aging processes in electrical insulating oils influencing the efficiency of power transformers, including a report on the topic “Purification and regeneration of transformer oils with GlobeCore equipment”.

The practical part consisted of a demonstration of the CMM-0,6 unit and the laboratory UVR unit operation. The latter processed the control samples of used oil, restoring it to be clean and transparent. The results of the experiment impressed all participants of the seminar.

GlobeCore engineers Dave Wilson and Frank May are ready for the guests of the next seminar, which will be held on June 14 at 1110 Paige, Houston, Texas 77003, USA. Requests for attending can be sent by e-mail [email protected] or by phone +1 713-202-7983..

Presentation of GlobeCore equipment in Oldenburg

March 5, 2018 a regular presentation of oil purification and regeneration equipment was held in the International Training Center of GlobeCore (Oldenburg, Germany).

This time the event was attended by representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and their partners from Qatar. First of all, the guests were interested in the possibilities of GlobeCore equipment for processing an alternative diesel fuel obtained from pyrolysis oils.

During the presentation, the processing of such fuel was carried out on the  laboratory UVR unit. The samples are analyzed by representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina at their own oil refineries, to continue purchasing negotiations of GlobeCore equipment.

We remind that the UVR plants are versatile units that can be used for cleaning and regeneration of various types of oils, purification of diesel and furnace fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, kerosene, etc.

Colombia hosted an international exhibition Feria Internacional del Sector Eléctrico 2017

The exhibition Feria Internacional del Sector Eléctrico was established in 2006 and every two years brings together representatives of the electrical industry of Latin America and guests from other countries.

This year GlobeCore took advantage of the opportunity and took part in this event, which was held in Medellin (Colombia). From November 29 to December 1, the participants and visitors of the exhibition could appreciate the technologies of our company presented at a separate stand in the exhibition hall. The stand exhibited an example of compact and mobile equipment for processing of transformer oils – a CMM-0,6 unit.

GlobeCore held a seminar  for the guests of Feria Internacional del Sector Eléctrico 2017 wishing to learn more about our technologies of oil regeneration and their applications in restoration of industrial oils. the seminar was attended by representatives of Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Perú, El Salvador, Panama and other countries.

We would like to note the high level of organization of the exhibition. All three days passed in an interesting communication with participants and visitors, which allowed our company to establish new and existing business contacts in Latin America.

СММ-2,2 project was executed in Italy

September 17, GlobeCore started up and tested a CMM-2.2 unit in Foligno (Umbria), Italy.

This time, the startup and commissioning were carried out on site of a large locomotive manufacturer in Italy.

Italian railers use silicone oil in their locomotive transformers. The oil mostly consists of silicon atoms, its name comes from Latin “silicium” (silicon). This feature gives silicon oil the following characteristics:

  • stable temperature;
  • good heat transfer;
  • resistance to ignition.

Before every purification, it is necessary to ensure:

  • the unit is washed from the remains of the previous oil;
  • the filter elements are replaced;
  • vacuum column activator filters are replaced.

The tests showed CMM-2,2 purifying both mineral and silicone oils equally well.

Representative of Lube Team Hydraulic Antonio Pisaniello highly commended the work of our company representatives: “We were present at the commissioning of the equipment for filtration of silicone oil for railway locomotive 402B of Ansaldo / Hitachi to in Foligno. The start up was successful. I am satisfied with the work done. I thank you and until the next time”

We are also grateful to our Italian colleagues and look forward to further cooperation.
