Electrical Oil Services offers the market recycled insulating oil EOS® Premium in non-inhibited and inhibited grades – both accredited according to IEC 60296:2020.

Frankfurt a.M., 30.09.2022 – Electrical Oil Services (EOS), a brand of HCS Group and a leading supplier of new and recycled insulating oils and associated services, has achieved another milestone in the launch of its sustainable EOS "Closed-Loop" model in Europe: The recycled, inhibited EOS® Premium X transformer oil has been accredited to the new international standard IEC 60296:2020 Type B fully inhibited for "as new oil properties" via Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co KG. With this certification, Electrical Oil Services meets the even more stringent oxidation stability requirements for inhibited insulating oils (500h test according to IEC 61125C:2018). 

"We are delighted to offer the market our high-quality recycled insulating oil both in non-inhibited and inhibited grades according to IEC 60296:2020," explains Kilian Gerbl, Head of Sales at Electrical Oil Services GmbH, adding: "The accreditation allows us to efficiently support our customers from the energy supply industry on their way to greater sustainability and resource conservation."

EOS® Premium and EOS® Premium X are important developments in recycled insulating oils, offering plant operators and maintenance companies the highest quality of a 100 percent regenerated mineral oil on a sustainable basis with its economic and environmental benefits. 

Current society and political topics are increasing pressure on all industries to make greater efforts to address these developments in the wake of climate change, resource scarcity and supply chain issues. With the EOS® "Closed-Loop" model, Electrical Oil Services supports these efforts by helping to reprocess used transformer oils to as-new quality, thereby reducing the carbon footprint.
