Previously using 20 ltr. containers to change the, approximately, 500 ltrs. of gear oil in a wind turbine generator includes heavy manual work and risk of spill to the environment.

Competitive Solution to Oil Change
The SOCOT® principle was developed by Jens Peder Thomsen, co-owner and MD of IKM Ocean Team in the 1990’ies, as an answer to a customer demand for a safer and more efficient oil conversion on offshore WTG’s.

Today, IKM Ocean Team operates the SOCOTFlex®, a phase II development, and a significantly more competitive solution to oil change compared to 20 ltr. containers. – Even in low wage markets. IKM Ocean Team changes oil on 1 WTG every 4 hours, if conditions are right.
