Albarrie Environmental Services manufactures nonwoven filtration fabrics, liquid filters, and particulate filter bags for all dust collection systems. We're also leading provider of dust collector baghouse services.
Albarrie Industrial Fabrics manufactures technical felts for a wide range of applications and industries, including high temperature and synthetic felts.
Albarrie GeoComposites manufactures, supplies and installs the revolutionary and highly successful SorbWeb™ Plus multi-layer secondary oil containment system.
During 2014/2015 SorbWeb™ Plus Transformer oil containment system successfully captured 5 separate accidental oil spills of varying degrees of severity. Two are shared here.
In 2015 approximately two weeks after installation, the SorbWeb™Plus oil containment system successfully captured an accidental transformer oil spill at a site in North America. A significant amount of oil was discharged into the oil containment which required a partial remediation. Approximately 75% of the transformer oil containment was salvaged with only 25% requiring removal and repair, delivering outstanding performance and optimized remediation costs. Download the white paper for details on the minor and the significant case.
Oil spill environmental remediation and clean up response costs depend on a variety of factors, including most notably: location, oil type, spill size, and cleanup strategy which make it difficult to develop a universal per-unit cost factor.
The high environmental remediation costs, strict environmental regulations and inadequate protection against oil spills have created a growing need for cost-efficient and reliable oil containment systems. SorbWeb™Plus transformer oil containment technology manages oil spill risk with lower capital outlays while eliminating maintenance costs, for example:
*Based on the article “Calculation of stress-dependant life cycle costs of a substation-demonstrated for controlled energization of unload transformers: by Politano, D; Frolich, K: IEEE Transactions 2006.
**Prices can vary depending on location, labour, materials, site conditions and size of containment.
*** Clean up costs may vary depending on site location, size of containment and response size and time. Calculation is based on construction and clean up costs associated with spills reported to us in 2014-2015.
