TRANSFORMER OIL
Aevitas Inc. is a leading specialist in providing transformer manufacturers, electrical service companies, and electrical utilities with new quality, recycled transformer oil with associated services. Our oil processing facility in Brantford (Ontario) receives, treats, and refines used transformer oil, producing new quality transformer oil for re-sale in the transformer market. The environmental benefits of the Aevitas Inc. recycling process are proven by allowing for the continued use of a non-renewable resource, and the removal of virtually all PCB content within the oil.
Here is just a brief description of the varied products and service that we have to offer:

Aevitas Inc. receives transformer oil from across Canada. Our fleet of trucks and oil tankers allow us to drain and transport large or small volumes from coast to coast. Our trained and experienced site service personnel know how to drain transformers and various other electrical equipment safely and effectively. The Aevitas facility in Brantford, Ontario is a registered waste receiver with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. For environmentally sensitive locations, Aevitas Inc. will employ its’ portable “Spill Containment Berm”. Our truck and tanker are parked within the berm, allowing the full tanker volume to be contained in an emergency rupture or spill situation.
Oil Draining and Receiving ↑
Oxidation and sludging occur within any transformer through time. The addition of oxidation inhibitors to the existing transformer oil will virtually halt the oxidation process. Aevitas Inc. supplies “Supercharged” inhibited transformer oil in totes, drums, or pails based on individual transformer volumes and particular requirements. Once our customers provide us with some basic information, we can formulate, supply, and deliver the necessary amount of “supercharged” oil. Our customers just add the “supercharged” oil to the existing transformer oil.

For customers with long term storage issues, our 700,000 litre capacity tank farm can help. The tank farm is concrete contained and was built on a geosynthetic membrane to eliminate any potential environmental risk. All pumping to and from our tank farm is conducted within our self-contained Quonset Hut.
Tank Farm Storage ↑
Aevitas Inc. maintains a supply of silicone transformer fluid which is recycled and reprocessed for use in either retrofilling or silicone fluid level top ups on existing silicone filled transformers. Once again, we can supply in either tote, drum, or pail depending on particular customer needs.
