Treatment, fill, recover and accesories for SF6 servicing and Eco Gas

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a dielectric gas with excellent properties. It has been widely used in high and extra high voltage equipment, for example in GIS substations, switches, breakers, switchgear, among others. The combination of electrical, physical, chemical and thermal properties offers many advantages. However, it is considered a fluorinated compound (FFC). These compounds have up to 50,000 years of life in the atmosphere and can contribute significantly to the investor effect. If we compare the warming potential of CO2 and SF6, while CO2 has a potential of 1, SF6 has a potential of 24,900. Hence the importance of its care. Additionally, the price of new SF6 has increased significantly (up to 600%). Therefore its treatment and recycling is of vital importance, as well as the early detection of leaks.

SF6 recovery unit model GRU-4

This unit incorporates a new and improved oil-free compressor to achieve high pressure (up to 1000 psig). This new technology allows the liquefaction of SF6 gas even in hot climates. It is the ideal equipment to service small teams. All typical processes that are part of maintenance can be performed with the GRU-4, such as gas removal, temporary storage, filtration down to 0.1 microns, gas purification, drying, evaluation, and repressurization or filling. It is also suitable for consolidating partially used SF6 cylinders into a single cylinder. Simple to use, it does not require expensive HMI screens for its operation.

SF6 recovery unit model GRU-7

Whether you are looking for speed in SF6 treatment, quality achieving recovery above 99.6%, an oil-free system that ensures purity, unlimited storage capacity, simple one-valve handling, portability, or whatever your need, the GRU -7 is the ideal solution achieving the storage capacity (up to 82 kg) of large systems at an adequate cost. Allows to recover and purify SF6, evacuate air and moisture before filling, consolidate SF6 cylinders, store SF6 in liquid state (or in auxiliary cylinders), controlled filling of equipment, removal of particles, moisture or SF6 by-products to achieve purification

SF6 recovery unit model GRU-8

For those who find the storage capacity of the GRU-7 insufficient but do not want to invest in an expensive system, the GRU-8 maintains the benefits and functionality of the GRU-7 and adds up to 300 kg of storage capacity.

Complete service SF6 units E736A

With a storage capacity of up to 1800 kg and designed for the processing of SF6 in cells, bus ducts, switches, transformers, among many other applications that use SF6 as an insulating medium. The truck, which can be manually operated or fully automatic, with oil-free compression systems, can perform all functions such as SF6 removal from equipment, liquefaction and gas storage in tanks that are part of the system, drying of gas, recharge or filling of gas re-evaporating the gas prior to recharge, purification of SF6 by absorption and removal of by-products and moisture, among others. With the flexibility of being able to integrate any type of connection that you usually use in your facilities

SF6 GTU transfer unit

Designed as a low cost solution to recover, consolidate and transfer SF6, the GTU is the essential tool for small volume equipment. All SF6 gas service processes can be performed such as gas removal, contaminant filtration, purification, dehydration and manual repressurization. It allows consolidating partially used cylinders in a single container or recovering excess SF6 from other larger carts.

SF6 storage tank E736T

With ASME certified tanks, capacities from 135 to 1800 kg, with internals coated with EPOXY to prevent corrosion, it is the ideal element to consolidate partially used SF6 cylinders with stationary or mobile solutions. Equipped with security elements.

SF6 evacuation and filling unit ERFU2

A simple but heavy duty, portable solution for the evacuation of SF6 gas from equipment and for controlled filling using standard SF6 cylinders. The equipment has a single valve, three wheels for easy movement, a pump mounted on a high capacity and high vacuum cart.

SF6 Analyzers

When analyzing the purity of SF6, it must be taken into account that there are a variety of SF6 by-products that can give us information about what is happening inside the equipment in order to act accordingly. That is why the ZeroWaste Rapid+ analyzers have variants to detect up to 10 by-products (indicating elements of phenomena that occur within the equipment that contains the SF6) performing analysis according to IEC, CIGRE or ASTM (selectable by user) in just 1 minute. , in a wide range of working pressure. The equipment is operated with a single key, safely. It is the lightest on the market which makes it unique. It is also the only one that measures BEFORE sending it to the containment tank, which ensures that there is no cross contamination and has a true long-lasting battery that allows continuous field work.

In addition, the standard version of ZeroWaste with times of 5 minutes is available, for those clients that test time is not critical. The offer is complemented by the AsserolyzIR model, the lightest equipment on the market with only 1.8 kilos, which allows measuring up to 8 by-products using infrared technology in less than 5 minutes, in the field, easy to use via touch screen

Dew point meter
Moisture levels in dry air, SF6, or in alternative gas assets can lead to potential catastrophic failures and shortened asset life. Moisture Pro is a smart, fast, portable and accurate dew point meter for determining moisture in critical assets.

 Bottle with certified reference SF6 gas for instrument verification
 How do you know if your analyzer works well? Thanks to the SF6 bottles with NIST traceable certificate you can verify if your analyzer is operating correctly. It is valid for any brand of analyzer

Accessories - scales
For those users who still prefer scales for content verification. IP67 for specific use

Accessories cylinder heating blanket
When working with SF6 it is important to have all the tools at your fingertips. Typically 20-25% of the SF6 is wasted due to the temperatures and pressures that keep the SF6 liquefied. Our cylinder heating blankets evaporate the gas, increasing the efficiency of the cylinder, to ensure that the maximum amount of SF6 can be recovered. This means significant savings in maintenance costs.

Fixed (stationary) SF6 leak detector
For isolated installations in SF6 such as GIS or similar. Utility company personnel working on gas-insulated switchgear are at risk due to exposure to leaking SF6 gas. Colorless and odorless, SF6 can accumulate undetected, posing a serious risk to health and the environment. The GasSafe Gas Leak Detection System offers a feature-rich solution for monitoring real-time gas leaks from electrical equipment or possible other unsafe gaseous emissions. Our gas safety system provides rapid detection, immediate response and early warning in the event of gas leaks or an unsafe work environment, ensuring the safety of personnel and the protection of assets.

Monitor of one or more gases for personal use
Sulfur hexafluoride implies a health and safety risk to operators performing routine maintenance on SF6-filled electrical equipment. Often working in confined spaces; poorly ventilated trenchs, tunnels and/or wells; personnel may be exposed to dangerous amounts of SF6 gas, inhalation of which may cause suffocation. We have solutions from 1 to 6 gases (to detect by-products too)

Portable SF6 leak detector
Sulfur hexafluoride is a gaseous dielectric used in high-voltage power applications, but SF6-filled assets invariably leak, so operators require effective tools to identify leaks and repair them immediately. Our portable SF6 leak detector provides fast and accurate location of leaks.

ECO GAS
 Rapide Eco+ allows you to analyze SF6 but it is also a 4 in 1 analyzer that also measures Novec 4710, Novec 5110 and Dry Air. We are leaders in eco gas analysis too.
