The hquid-handling capacity of the tubular-bowl centrifuge varies with use. The low end shown in Table 18-11 corresponds to stripping small bac teria from a culture medium. The high end corresponds to puri ng transformer oil and restoring its dielectric value. The sohds-handling capacity of this centrifuge is limited to 4.5 kg (10 lb) or less. Typically, the feed stream solids should be less than 1 percent in practice. 

An example of a practical dielec trofilter which uses both of the features described, namely, sharp electrodes and dielectric field-warping filler materials, is that described in Fig. 22-34 [H. I. Hall and R. F. Brown, Lubric. Eng., 22, 488 (1966)]) It is intended for use with hydrauhc fluids, fuel oils, lubricating oils, transformer oils, lubricants, and various refineiy streams. Performance data are cited in Fig. 22-35. It must be remarked that in the opinion of Hall and Brown the action of the dielec trofilter was electrostatic and due to free charge on the particles dispersed in the hquids. It is the present authors opinion, however, that both elec trophoresis and dielectrophoresis are operative here but that the dominant mechanism is that of DEP, in wdiich neutral particles are polarized and attracted to the regions of highest field intensity.

Fuels such as diesel and kerosene readily absorb hydrocarbon vapors, the total uptake and absorption rate depending on both chemical and physical factors. If a soluble test gas is introduced above a charged test oil the concentration of flammable test gas therefore decreases with time. Liquid mist and spray produced by charged liquid increase the absorption rate relative to a quiescent liquid surface. As discussed in A-5-4, absorption could lead to an underestimation of test gas MIE near the liquid surface unless the rate of test gas introduction is sufficiently high to offset the rate of removal. Table 3-8.1.2 shows solubilities of a selection of gases in a mineral-based transformer oil at ambient temperature and pressure [200].

The efficiency of transformer oils as dielectrics is measured by electric strength tests. These give an indication of the voltage at which, under the test conditions, the oil will break down. Various national standards exist that all measure the same basic property of the oil. There is an international specification, lEC 296/1982, which may be quoted by equipment manufacturers in their oil recommendations. 

Rheological methods of measuring the interphase thickness have become very popular in science [50, 62-71]. Usually they use the viscosity versus concentration relationships in the form proposed by Einstein for the purpose [62-66], The factor K0 in Einstein s equation typical of particles of a given shape is evaluated from measurements of dispersion of the filler in question in a low-molecular liquid [61, 62], e.g., in transformer oil [61], Then the viscosity of a suspension of the same filler in a polymer melt or solution is determined, the value of Keff is obtained, and the adsorbed layer thickness is calculated by this formula [61,63,64] ...

For example trace elements in milk powder are not consumed as milk, and moisture in transformer oil is not used in transformers, yet matrix reference materials based on milk are imported as food and are subject to health certification requirements and sometimes import quotas. Likewise a matrix based on oil is identified as fuel or lubricating oil and is both classified as a hazardous material and subject to mineral oil tax. These problems arise because RMs are frequently incorrectly classified by specific title of their matrix (as Reference Material of Trace Elements in Rice is classified as rice) and not as reference material which is the intended use.

In both cases, the samples from contaminated sites were rinsed with a solvent to obtain an extract of contaminated transformer oil. The effects of biological degradation were investigated by using a commercial mixture of microorganisms and pure strain under aerobic and anaerobic condition. In the thermal method, a laboratory plasma system was used to decompose the contaminated transformer oil by a direct injection of the oil extract into the plasma system or by melting the extract samples with power plant fly ash in the plasma reactor. For the contaminated transformer oil both methods showed a destruction efficiency of 99.99% and the products of destruction were environmentally friendly. 

Plasma destruction of transformer oil with PCB absorbed in sites was investigated in two ways of the waste feeding. In the first experiment the sample was washed up with a solvent and the fluid extract was then...
