  • in reply to: Can you explain the potassium humate production process? #119593

    The production of potassium humate involves the extraction of humic acid from natural organic materials like leonardite or lignite. The process includes:
    Extraction: Leonardite is treated with a strong alkaline solution, such as potassium hydroxide (KOH), to dissolve the humic substances.
    Filtration: The humic acid-rich solution is filtered to remove impurities and unreacted materials.
    Neutralization: The solution is neutralized to stabilize the potassium humate product.
    Drying: The liquid potassium humate can be dried to produce powder or granules, or it can be left in a liquid form.
    Packaging: The final product is packaged as liquid, powder, or granules for agricultural use.
    The entire process is designed to maximize the concentration of active humic substances in the final product, ensuring effectiveness in farming applications.

    in reply to: How is the dielectric strength of a transformer tested? #118926

    To test the dielectric strength of a transformer, one employs a dielectric testing device, which often includes specialized testers like those from Globecore. The test involves applying a high voltage to the transformer oil while monitoring the breakdown voltage, usually under controlled conditions. This is essential for determining the quality of the insulating oil, as it should withstand a certain voltage without breaking down. The tester typically follows specific standards and protocols to ensure accurate measurements. The results help identify the effectiveness of the transformer insulation and predict potential failures, ensuring safe and efficient transformer operation. Utilizing a reputable dielectric tester assures compliance with industry standards and provides critical diagnostics for transformer maintenance.
