Transformer liquids must have excellent electrical insulating properties and are used in oil-filled transformers, high-voltage capacitors and other electrical equipment to prevent corona discharge and arcing. Usually, these liquids are made from mineral oils that are refined from petroleum. With respect to the finite reservoirs of petroleum as well as to the environmental hazard in case of a spill, it is desirable to have alternatives to these conventional transformer liquids. Oils from biological feedstock are renewable and have a better biodegradability and their usage as transformer liquids seems therefore very attractive. However, the electrical conductivity of these bio-based oils do not meet the specifications for a transformer liquid. In this research, we develop a process to lower the conductivity of an oil from a biological feedstock so that it can be used as renewable and environmental-friendly transformer liquid. The development of such processes benefits the Canadian economy and it is anticipated that this research helps to create skilled manufacturing jobs and can also assist in the expansion of high-tech jobs in Canada through the training of highly-qualified engineers and scientists.**

Transformer液体必须具有优异的电绝缘性能，用于充油变压器、高压电容器和其他电气设备，以防止电晕放电和电弧。通常，这些液体由从石油中提炼的矿物油制成。关于有限的石油储层以及在溢出情况下的环境危害，期望具有这些常规Transformer液体的替代物。来自生物原料的油是可再生的，并且具有更好的生物降解性，因此它们作为Transformer液体的用途似乎非常有吸引力。然而，这些生物基油的电导率不满足Transformer液体的规格。在这项研究中，我们开发了一种降低生物原料油电导率的方法，使其可用作可再生和环境友好的Transformer液体。这种工艺的发展有利于加拿大经济，预计这项研究有助于创造熟练的制造业就业机会，也可以通过培训高素质的工程师和科学家来帮助扩大加拿大的高科技就业机会。
