Yes, sunflowers can be grown and harvested to produce oil, which is then converted into biodiesel—a renewable fuel. In addition to oil, sunflower plant residues can be used as biomass for energy generation. However, the oil is the most valuable component for biofuel production. With the GlobeCore USB biodiesel unit, sunflower oil is processed into biodiesel with high efficiency, making it an excellent crop for energy farming. The unit provides a scalable, eco-friendly solution that supports both small-scale and industrial biofuel production.

Homogenization ensures even dispersion of pigments and additives, preventing settling, and improving flow characteristics. The USB 6 Impeller Stirrer provides high-speed homogenization for long-term varnish stability.

Transformer oil is filtered using methods such as vacuum dehydration, filtration, or centrifugation to remove moisture, particulates, and oxidation byproducts.

PCBs can still be found in older transformers, electrical capacitors, and other legacy equipment. They may also be present in contaminated sites or as byproducts in industrial waste, even though new production and use have been discontinued in most countries.

Quality control involves testing raw materials for purity, precise ingredient measurements, and maintaining controlled processing conditions. Regular sensory evaluations, laboratory analyses, and calibrated equipment ensure product consistency. In-line sensors and automated sampling detect deviations early, while adherence to standards such as HACCP ensures both safety and quality.

Insulation is tested using methods such as dielectric strength testing, insulation resistance measurement (using a megohmmeter), and partial discharge tests. These tests ensure the insulation can withstand operational voltages and environmental stresses.

SEM provides high-resolution images of the bitumen’s surface morphology and microstructure. It can reveal the distribution of additives, the texture of the binder, and the interaction between bitumen and aggregates or modifiers. SEM helps in understanding the physical changes in bitumen due to aging, modification, or environmental exposure at the microscopic level.

Performance Grade (PG) bitumen is defined by the Superpave system, which classifies binders based on their performance over specific temperature ranges. PG grading considers both the maximum and minimum pavement temperatures, ensuring the binder resists rutting at high temperatures and cracking at low temperatures appropriate to the climate where it will be used.
