Blown soybean corn oil blend: CargillRecent Research Landscape

Standard mineral oils pose environmental risks and thermal instability in transformers, which is mitigated by precisely controlling the blowing and stripping of soybean and corn stillage oil. This engineering of the lipid structure ensures high dielectric strength and biodegradability for power distribution equipment.

What technical problems is Cargill addressing in Blown soybean corn oil blend?

Inadequate vegetable oil viscosity

(2)evidences

Residual low-molecular-weight impurities in oxidized vegetable oils cause odor and thermal degradation. Removing these volatiles prevents premature breakdown and improves product consistency.

Dielectric fluid thermal instability

(1)evidences

Standard bio-based oils exhibit insufficient dielectric strength and thermal stability for high-voltage applications. Improving these properties prevents electrical breakdown and equipment failure.
