The United States has developed a new technology to contain oil spills in substations
Substation oil spills are very harmful to the environment. The general substation to contain oil spills is to use concrete baffles or land barriers. The amount of work is large and the capital investment is large. In the case of bad weather, the maintenance of electrical equipment will be affected. To this end, the American Electric Power Company has developed a glass fiber composite anti-seepage oil facility with a hollow grid structure. This 6.6 cm × 61 cm glass fiber hollow grid partition is flexible and can be installed around electrical equipment to form an anti-seepage. Oil cellar and easy to install.
In the field test, there was no lining at the beginning, and there was no leakage after 3 weeks of water injection. After the addition of the ground composite lining at the bottom, no leakage was observed. Finally, the drain pipe was added to the partition plate, and the test was carried out, and the effect was also good. The facility also successfully passed the fire test, which was only slightly deformed under fire, but no oil leakage occurred.
