    Mutton biodiesel has a high cetane number, excellent lubricity, and clean combustion, which improves engine efficiency and reduces CO and PM emissions. However, its cold flow properties are poor due to saturated fats, potentially causing filter clogging in cold weather. Solutions include blending with fossil diesel, using cold-flow additives, or winterization. Biodiesel produced using the GlobeCore USB system is clean, moisture-free, and compliant with ASTM D6751 and EN 14214, ensuring safe use in standard diesel engines without modification.

    Chicken fat is rendered by low-heat wet or dry rendering, separating fat from bones, skin, and tissues. The resulting tallow is then filtered and dried to reduce moisture content. Further pretreatment may include deacidification if free fatty acid (FFA) levels are high. For biodiesel production, this refined fat is heated and mixed with methanol and a catalyst. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant integrates heating, chemical dosing, and separation, making it efficient for converting chicken fat—even with moderate FFAs—into high-quality biodiesel.

    Olive oil is rich in oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that enhances oxidative stability, combustion, and cold flow. This results in biodiesel with a high cetane number and good long-term storage performance. The low content of free fatty acids also minimizes soap formation during production, improving yield. The GlobeCore USB system capitalizes on these advantages by maintaining optimal conditions for high-purity biodiesel from olive oil.

    in reply to: Can mustard oil be used as fuel? #317707

    Yes, mustard oil can be converted into biodiesel and used as a renewable fuel in diesel engines. Its relatively high unsaturated fatty acid content makes it a good feedstock for transesterification, producing a clean-burning biodiesel with good cold flow properties. Direct use of raw mustard oil is not advised due to its high viscosity and poor combustion behavior. However, when processed in a GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant, mustard oil becomes a compliant and engine-safe fuel that meets EN and ASTM standards.

    The BDV (Breakdown Voltage) of transformer oil is a critical parameter measured by gradually increasing the voltage applied to an oil sample until it undergoes electrical breakdown. High-quality transformer oil typically exhibits a BDV exceeding 30 kV under standardized test conditions, ensuring its suitability for high-voltage applications.

    in reply to: which oil is used in electric transformer? #314771

    In electric transformers, the oil used is usually refined mineral oil. In some specialized applications, alternative fluids such as silicone-based or ester-based oils might be employed for improved performance or environmental benefits.

    in reply to: is standard for transformer oil testing #314630
    Karen Carter
    Member

    Standards for transformer oil testing are established by organizations such as ASTM International and IEC; these standards define the methods for assessing properties like dielectric breakdown voltage, viscosity, flash point, and moisture content to ensure safety and efficiency.

    Precise temperature control during freezing and hardening is crucial for limiting ice crystal growth and preserving texture. A uniformly processed mix from the Colloid Mill GlobeCore responds more predictably to rapid cooling, which helps maintain a smooth, creamy consistency in the final product.

    An emulsion tack coat is a thin layer of asphalt emulsion applied between pavement layers to promote adhesion. It is used before overlays or patching to ensure a strong bond and prevent slippage.

    in reply to: How is asphalt emulsion used in road construction? #131095
    Karen Carter
    Member

    Asphalt emulsion is used in various road construction processes due to its versatility and ease of application. It acts as a binder in cold mix asphalt, surface treatments, and pavement maintenance. In surface dressing, it provides a thin protective layer that seals the pavement and enhances skid resistance. In cold mix applications, asphalt emulsion binds aggregates without the need for high temperatures, reducing energy costs and environmental impact. It is also used for tack coats to ensure proper adhesion between pavement layers. The use of asphalt emulsion leads to faster project completion and improved road performance.

    in reply to: Can silica gel desiccants be reused? #123667
    Karen Carter
    Member

    Yes, silica gel desiccants can be reused after regeneration. The regeneration process involves heating the silica gel to remove absorbed moisture, allowing it to regain its drying capabilities. By placing the silica gel in an oven at temperatures of 120-150°C for about 2-3 hours, it can be restored for future use. For businesses that frequently need to reuse silica gel on a large scale, GlobeCore’s specialized equipment ensures a consistent and effective regeneration process, making it a cost-efficient solution.

    The lifespan of high voltage transformer bushings can be extended by performing regular maintenance, including visual inspections, oil level checks, and diagnostic tests such as capacitance and power factor measurements. Ensuring the bushing is properly sealed to prevent moisture ingress and conducting periodic oil analysis are also key. Timely repairs, such as replacing worn gaskets and addressing partial discharge issues early, help prevent long-term damage. Using high-quality materials, monitoring operational temperatures, and avoiding overloading also contribute to extending the life of bushings.
