Voltra Technology is a company based in Saguenay, QC, focused on HV transformers oil leak management installed in power stations, HV substations and wind farms. The company is owned by four shareholders ; Marc Nadeau - high voltage specialist, Jean Langlais – Business development, Jocelyn Tremblay – Quality specialist and Robert Doré – Communication et politics.
Working in their respective fields and witnessing the pervasive lack of oil leak management systems, the team at Voltra Technology focused their effort on designing an HV Transformer risk mitigation system including an oil/water separator.
Industry recognition for the DHR4 system was confirmed by the International Solar Impulse Foundation granting the Solar Impulse Label - A trademark focused on both the environment and profitability to Voltra. By virtue of a rigorous evaluation process the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” Label is the only third-party evaluation that guarantees the economic profitability of selected products and processes focusing on protection of the environment. Considered tangible recognition for innovators, as well as a credible trademark for governments and clients, the Label provides decision makers with an efficient tool to source solutions, to meet their environmental commitments.
The result of this design effort, after an extensive Research and development program, Voltra emerged with a unique, leading-edge technology DRH4, the optimal oil leak management system for high voltage transformers. To date, oil leaks have been collected in concrete and or geomembrane containment basins. The DRH4 system includes proprietary technology that instantly separates water and oil due to “leaky” high voltage transformers. The DRH4 adapts to all transformer types and oil volumes. It provides oil leak containment without the risk of soil contamination and conforms to all the environmental, production, and safety requirements of the energy industry.
