We specialise in the treatment of transformer oils from new transformer oil fills to vacuum dehydration, oil refurbishment, retrofills, regenerated transformer oil sales generally exceeding the Australian Standard, oil disposal, onsite online or offline full oil regeneration (large and small capacity units to suit all size transformers), oil passivation, and long term low impact oil filtration. Turbine oils, compressor oils and HV cable oils also can be filtered or regenerated.

We also have several small profile oil treatment plants for restricted access applications.
