Operation and long storage of lube, turbine and other industrial oil cause contamination of the oil, leading to poor performance. With time, this process causes increased equipment wear, and, in case of electrical insulation oil, failures in electricity transmission grids. It is practically impossible to prevent or stop this process. However, the oxidized oil canRead More
Bitumen emulsion is a binding material, consisting of water and bitumen. Emulsion is a disperse system, with particles of bitumen dispersed in water. The main task is to keep bitumen microparticles from coalescing, which maintains physicochemical properties of the emulsion and its quality. This stability is achieved with special emulsifiers. Bitumen emulsions are transportable, easilyRead More
Although the topic of mixed fuel is relatively new, it is constantly attracting the attention of young and experienced drivers. On hearing about “mixed fuel”, they immediately try to find out what it is and whether it can be used in their cars. Let’s try to understand ourselves. Mixed fuels appeared due to a shortageRead More
Quartz is a natural mineral. It is quite common in the earth’s crust and has a number of important properties: high strength, resistance to fracture, and high sorption properties. Quartz is a component of rocks and minerals, and its mass fraction in the earth’s crust is more than 60%. In industry it is used mainlyRead More
January 20 – 26, GlobeCore employees visited Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) on a business trip. The purpose of the trip was the CMM-4/7 plant commissioning and the presentation of GlobeCore equipment for the representatives of the electric power industry. The CMM-4/7 performs degassing, drying, cleaning from mechanical impurities and heating transformer oils, before filling them intoRead More
REMOVING IMPURITIES FROM FUEL Fuel Purification is a process mandatory after long term storage or contact with air. There are many methods of removing water and particulate matter from motor fuels. The most common methods are settling, centrifugation and filtration. Of course, all processes have both advantages and limitation, and research into the development ofRead More
Recently, the energy of the wind has become a very popular energy. This method of obtaining energy is environmentally friendly, as it does not produce harmful waste. To better understand wind turbine, let’s consider what kind of equipment it is and how it works. In general, wind turbines are structures carrying a nacelle with bladesRead More
Laying of asphalt surfaces during road repair and construction uses bituminous binders. Bitumen at normal temperatures is a solid or viscous substance. The use of bitumen in this state is impossible, therefore, it is modified in various ways to improve its physicochemical characteristics. Bitumen heated to 100-200°C is used in the preparation of asphalt mixtures.Read More
It would be hard to imagine the modern industries without a variety of machines and mechanisms that improve the production processes in all branches of the national economy. Typically, these machines include knots of friction and adhesion, which wear out in time, due to intensive abrasion of metal parts. The friction is reduced by theRead More
Today, the largest share of consumed lubricants belongs to petroleum based oils. The upward trend of this product requires new and improved existing methods of collection, processing and regeneration. One of the most economical ways of handling oil resources is regeneration of used oil directly on site. As oil aging have a great impact onRead More
It is common knowledge that moisture significantly reduces the insulating properties of transformer oil. The influence of moisture in oil is different depending on the temperature and the amount of moisture and the state it is present in a dielectric fluid. The moisture in oil can be present in three states: emulsion, solution and sedimentedRead More
When the transformer is under load, the energy loss in the magnetic core and the windings turns into heat which can damage insulation. It is important to keep a close watch on the temperature inside the equipment to prevent overheating and possible fires at substations. The main part of transformer cooling in this case isRead More
Grinding precision is one of the main parameters of cement quality. This construction material is one of the few, whose strength is improved by interaction with molecules of water. It is important to ensure thorough hydration of the substance. Apparently, water binds smaller particles better. Specific surface is the parameter used in laboratory conditions toRead More
Dear Valued Customers! We would like to remind that GlobeCore provides an opportunity to increase the existing bitumen-emulsion plants performance by introducing an additional block. It has the potential benefits in the form of efficiency and functionality. It allows to raise the productivity of both GlobeCore plants and plants of other manufacturers. One such projectRead More

Calle Central y Tercera Av. 15. P.O. Box 538-2120. Calle Blancos, San José, Costa Rica. Seminar program: Discussion of the effect of the oil aging processes on the efficiencyRead More
The fifth issue for 2017 of “Industrial WaterWorld” magazine published an article entitled “Decontamination of Oily Wastewater Using Electromagnetic Vortex Layer Devices”. The article analyzed the main directions of cleaning and neutralization of wastewater containing oil, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Also, the article described the principle of operation of electromagnetic vortexRead More
Oil Recycling technologies and ways of realization Oil recycling is an important direction in handling mankind’s industrial waste. To make the existing ecological situation better, it is vitally important to organize a proper waste oil collection and delivery to specialized enterprises engaged in oil recycling. Oil recycling is not exactly a new problem. Recent yearsRead More
A CMM-10TS unit was commissioned in a suburb of Chicago on 19-23 December 2017. This unit was designed and built to a custom order for thermal vacuum drying of high viscosity industrial oil with high water content. Commissioning confirmed the capabilities of the CMM-10TS, which can effectively dehydrate industrial oil contaminated with water: approximately 16Read More
The nonrenewable energy sources such as oil, gas, shale and coal compels humanity to look at alternative resources, in particular, at the energy of water, wind and sun. Hydroelectric power plants and storage hydroelectric power stations occupy a special place in the modern energy systems, balancing the loads when load changes, and storing energy forRead More
