Transformer Oils

Apar's Special Oils Refinery (SOR) with a refining capacity of over One Lakh Tons per annum of Speciality Oils is a pioneer and market leader in manufacturing Poweroil Brand Transformer Oils and commands over 50% market share in India.

SOR produces a comprehensive range of low sulphur NAPHTHENIC and PARAFFINIC base "Poweroil" Transformer Oils through a multistage continuous refining, clay contacting and vacuum filtration process, resulting in severely hydrotreated low aromatic oil, free of polar compounds. This ensures very high oxidation stability and ageing properties, guaranteeing long product life. Selection of the right Low Viscosity Index Naphthenic base oils also ensures excellent cooling characteristics. To maintain product leadership, SOR has a unique tanker flushing and filling arrangement for bulk supplies, and a high speed automatic drumming line, both of which are equipped with dry air and nitrogen blanketing.

SOR's ISO 900-2000 accredited quality assurance system requires 21 Quality Tests to be performed on each batch produced to determine all physico-chemical and critical electrical properties like Breakdown Voltage, Tan Delta and Ageing Profile of the Transformer Oil.
SOR's well equipped R&D and Quality Control laboratories form the nucleus of its close co-operation with leading Transformer manufacturers and OEM's like ABB, Siemens, GEC-Alstom etc. to proactively develop new grades meeting International Standards like IEC 296 Class I-IA, II-IIA, BS148 Class I-IA, II-IIA, III-IIIA, ASTM-3487, DIN57370/VDE7370 and National Standards like IS-335 and IS-12463.
