TRANSFORMER OIL CONTAINMENT, SORBWEB™ PLUS CASE STUDY

During 2014/2015 SorbWeb™ Plus Transformer oil containment system successfully captured 5 separate accidental oil spills of varying degrees of severity. Two are shared here.

In 2015 approximately two weeks after installation, the SorbWeb™Plus oil containment system successfully captured an accidental transformer oil spill at a site in North America. A significant amount of oil was discharged into the oil containment which  required a partial remediation. Approximately 75% of the transformer oil containment was salvaged with only 25% requiring removal and repair, delivering outstanding performance and optimized remediation costs.

Oil spill environmental remediation and clean up response costs depend on a variety of factors, including most notably: location, oil type, spill size, and cleanup strategy which make it difficult to develop a universal per-unit cost factor.

The high environmental remediation costs, strict environmental regulations and inadequate protection against oil spills have created a growing need for cost-efficient and reliable oil containment systems. SorbWeb™Plus transformer oil containment technology manages oil spill risk with lower capital outlays while eliminating maintenance costs, for example:
