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.**

变压器液体必须具有出色的电绝缘特性，并用于油填充的变压器，高压电容器和其他电气设备，以防止电晕放电和弧形。通常，这些液体是由石油改进的矿物油制成的。关于石油的有限储层以及在溢油时的环境危害，希望可以替代这些常规的变压器液体。来自生物原料的油具有可再生能源，具有更好的生物降解性，其用作变压器液体似乎非常有吸引力。但是，这些基于生物的油的电导率不符合变压器液体的规格。在这项研究中，我们开发了一个过程来降低从生物原料中的油的电导率，以便可以用作可再生和环境友好的变压器液体。此类过程的发展使加拿大经济有益于加拿大的经济，预计这项研究有助于创造熟练的制造业工作，还可以通过培训高度合格的工程师和科学家来帮助扩大加拿大的高科技工作。**
