Oil Regeneration System
UVR – 450/16
 Extends oil life
 Saves money
 Environmentally friendly
 Extends transformers life
 Can be used for treatment of nearly all mineral oils
 Re-refined oil prices are competitive to equivalent
virgin oil prices
Globe Core™ Oil Regeneration System is
designed to remove solid particles,
regenerate and lighten electric
insulation, turbine, industrial*, mineral
oils.
The most sophisticated to
date oil reuse method is
regeneration, defined by
EEC Directive as “ any
process whereby base oils
can be produced by refining
waste oils, in particular by
removing the
contaminants, oxidation
products and additives
contained therein”.
Regeneration prolongs the
life of the oil resource
indefinitely. This form of
recycling is the preferred
option because it closes the
recycling loop by reusing
the oil to make the same
product that it was when it
started out and, therefore,
uses less energy and less
virgin oil. Regeneration of
used oil takes only about
one-third the energy of
refining crude oil to
sufficient quality.

2. The viscosity of the product must not exceed 70cSt at 50o
C, with moisture content below
200g/ton.
*- industrial oil can only be regenerated after preliminary removal of water, fluid, oxi-acids,
carbenes and asphaltenes.
Regeneration Pods
Oil Regeneration System consists of upper and lower oil tanks, coarse and fine filters,
adsorbent cartridges vacuum pump, heaters and instrumentation. The control panel contains
vacuum and pressure gages, switches, indicating lights and temperature controller. Used,
contaminated oil, fuel is drawn through coarse filter into the upper oil tank of regeneration
system by means of an inlet pump. The liquid is then fed to the regeneration cartridges that
rely on an adsorbent principle to restore acidity, interfacial tension, colour, resistivity and other
parameters close to new oil or fuel conditions. Regenerated oil is accumulated in the lower oil
tank and pumped out at the end of the process.

Vacuum chamber I – is a cylindrical vessel filled with regenerated oil. IN the top of the front
bottom of the vessel, there is an inlet for regenerated oil, a level sensor of high oil level and an
inlet for vacuum evacuation of the chamber. In the lower part of the back bottom, there is

3. flange for flushing of the vessel. The tank also features a liquid level indicator for visual control
of the liquid level in the chamber.
Vacuum chamber II – is a cylindrical vessel filled with regenerated oil. IN the top of the front
bottom of the vessel, there is an inlet for regenerated oil, a level sensor of high oil level and an
inlet for vacuum evacuation of the chamber. In the lower part of the back bottom, there is
flange for flushing of the vessel. The tank also features a liquid level indicator for visual control
of the liquid level in the chamber.
Reservoir - is a cylindrical vessel, filled with contaminated oil. An inlet is welded into the vessel
for connection with the atmosphere. There is an oil inlet and a level sensor welded into the
front bottom, as well as a level indicator for visual control of the liquid level in the vessel.
Contaminated oil outlet and a drain outlet are welded into the lower part of the vessel. The
back bottom of the vessel is equipped with a connector for auxiliary unit.
Regeneration pod is a vessel, filled to the middle with regeneration media. Media and oil enter
the pod through the upper lid.
The lower part of the pod consists of a metal sidewall an the lower lid, through which the pod is
vacuumized. Also, regenerated oil exits the pod through the lower lid and spent sorbent media
is extracted.
The external surface of the pod is wrapped with a strap heater, insulated and covered with a
metal sidewall.
Collector is designed for removal of regenerated oil from the regeneration pods and is a
pipeline with ball valves connecting the collector with regeneration pods; the side of the
collector is equipped with a sight glass to determine the quality of regeneration, and two
valves, switching oil flow to lower vessel I or II. The collector is also equipped with an inlet and
a valve for connection of auxiliary unit.
Oil input pump peripheral pump SAER KF-4, drive power 0.75 kW, 2850 RPM.
Oil output pump is a peripheral pump KF-4, drive power 0.75 kW, 2850 RPM.
Vacuum pumps create vacuum in the vacuum system, and are two vacuum pumps СР 10-520 at
0.75 kW.
Pipelines connect all parts of the unit.
Output filter is a case containing filtering element with magnets. Magnets can be cleaned when
replacing the filter element (cartridge). Filtration fineness is 5 micron. The filtering element is
covered with filter fabric. The lid is equipped with plug for release of air with oil enters the
filter and air inlet when oil exits the filter. The bottom of the case is equipped with connector
with valve. Oil inlet and outlet are welded into the case.
Feed pipeline supplies oil into regeneration pod. The line is equipped with a float switch to
prevent from pod overflow.

4. Processed oil enters the top vessel through inlet valve MV1, coarse filter CF, pump P1, sight
glass SG1, flow switch FS. The top vessel is filled with oil to the top level, after which the level
sensor LS6 stops the pump P1.
Then vacuum pumps VP1 and VP2 should be engaged to create vacuum (-0.9…-1 bar) in the
vacuum chamber 1 or 2. The vacuum in the vacuum chamber 1 and 2 is controlled by gauges
M1 «VESSEL 1» and M2 «VESSEL 2».
From the top vessel, through valves MV3 – MV18 the oil enters regeneration pods, where it is
purified and regenerated.
From there, the valves MV19 – MV34 on the collector are opened, the oil passes through
regeneration media in the bottom of the regeneration pods, and enters the collector, from the
collector the oil goes to vacuum chamber 1 or 2. The oil level in the lower vessel I or II is
controlled by the level indicator welded into the sidewall of the vessel, and a level sensor.
The output pump P2 extracts the oil after regeneration from the lower vessel 1 or 2 and
supplies it through the filter F, to unit output.
