Electrical Oil Services (EOS), a brand of HCS Group and a leading supplier of new and recycled insulating oils and associated services, has achieved an important milestone in further expanding their sustainable “Closed-Loop”-model for recycled transformer oils in Europe: EOS Premium has been accredited according to the new international standard IEC 60296:2020, type B for “as new properties oil”. Siemens Energy Global Laboratory confirmed that the recycled insulating oil fulfils the requirements in the delivery state and for the oxidation stability after ageing.
“The IEC 60296 certificate proves the high quality of our recycled EOS Premium insulating oil”, says Kilian Gerbl, Head of Sales at Electrical Oil Services GmbH, who adds: “This accreditation will further strengthen confidence of many utilities and industrial asset managers in considering recycled insulating oil versus new unused oil for their transformer management.“
EOS Premium is a significant advance in regenerated insulating oils, giving the asset manager and maintenance company owner the highest quality of regenerated mineral insulating oil on a sustainable basis whilst providing both economic and environmental benefits of circular economy. EOS Premium complements the option of on-site mobile regeneration as part of an overall insulating oil management program, reducing the carbon footprint.
The EOS “Closed-loop” model allows transformer oils to be regenerated to as new quality for re-use on a sustainable basis. This makes Electrical Oil Services a key contributor to the circular economy.
