“Promising but Challenging Future”

"Future seems to be very promising as well as challenging. In 2020, we are further approaching for implementation of new version of ISO/IEC 17025 and testing facilities to meet the requirement of newly amended IS 335: 2018," says Narinder Kumar, Founder, Ktec Oil Laboratories.

Ktec’s Performance
Ktec Oil Laboratories, a division of Event Electric Pvt Ltd, came into existence in 2015 in Delhi NCR as a part of business diversification. The parent company Event Electric is in the field of transformer manufacturing since 2010 and serving defence as a major customer. Ktec got accreditation from NABL in the field of transformer oil testing in 2018.

India being one of the fastest growing economies of the world requires power for its industrial, commercial and infrastructural development and anything goes wrong anywhere with any transformer, a huge area will be affected. Therefore, it becomes important to monitor transformer health regularly.

Our testing facilities include dissolved gas analysis, BDV, Tan Delta, specific resistivity, density, pour point, furan content, interfacial tension, kinematic viscosity at 27-degree C, water content, flash point, sludge or sediment appearance and others and we are fully equipped to perform the same.

Along with client satisfaction and timely delivery of test reports with accurate and reliable results, it becomes the major factor that we are able to escalate our business from the initial stage. Other reasons for the huge success we are able to gain this year are: focused, active business representatives and marketing team, timely delivery of test reports, test results with high accuracy by analysts, and time to time training to each team member by quality and technical heads. Further, workflow system is designed in such a way that no external factor affects the employee and workflow of laboratory. Without outer disturbance/external factors analyst/team members works freely so that there will be no compromise with quality of work.

Future Roadmap
Being one of the fastest growing segments in the field of transformer oil testing, Ktec is anticipated to post growth in near future and to reach each and every corner of India. Future seems to be very promising as well as challenging. In 2020, we are further approaching for implementation of new version of ISO/IEC 17025 and testing facilities to meet the requirement of newly amended IS 335: 2018.

In the coming year, we are working to reach our target of testing 15,000 samples yearly and also working for fully automising all the workflow of our laboratory like-scheduling, registration, job allocation, test report generation, billing, and tracking so that there will be maximum accuracy, least chance of error and also time taken for report generation will be minimised and real-time monitoring from job allocation to report generation will be available to the customer on our website and through mobile app.

Ester oil offers several advantages including biodegradability, higher flash point, higher thermal conductivity, lower calorific value and higher temperature stability. In near future, ester oil importance is going to be increased and reach each industry. In upcoming years, our company is road mapping towards ester oil testing.

Key Differentiators
Today many government and private industries get benefitted with our transformer oil testing and solutions. Some of our prestigious clients include: Indian Railways, IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, NHPC, Aditya Birla Group, Lafarge Cement, Naini Tissue, Ultratech Cement, Toshiba JSW Power System, RSWM, and Siemens.

Among private labs, our laboratory is only one in North region in India having fully automatic Tan delta and resistivity test set. For having high accuracy, we organise monthly internal training, intermediate checks and internal calibration. Customer care/emergency service is available 24×7 for the customer queries and provide timely solutions to the customers. We not only provide testing services but also solutions to the problem of customers, make them understand the benefits of testing and get the least maintenance or breakdown or downtime cost of equipment or process.
