Recycling and re-refining of used oil
ASPA Engineering Ltd is EPC contractor in the delivery and installation of process equipment for distillation, evaporation, hydrogenation, filtration and adsorption, as applied to recycling of liquids such as used oils, waste fuels and industrial wastes.The technologies we are working with are world class in robustness, ease of maintenance, energy efficiency, product qualities and yields.
The producers of the equipment apply well researched and proven process technology at the core of each application offered to the market. We have built a team of experts in the areas of detailed engineering and project management.
Recycling or re-refining of used oil Lubricants are prepared by mixing additives into lubricating oil base stock or simply called “base oil”. Spent lubricants i.e. used oil has the following composition:True Recycling (Rerefining) of used lubricating oil means separating the “Lube Oil” and purifying it to meet International Standards. In short, recover and purify base oil. Hydrogenation in combination with vacuum drying and filtration is the most complete and advanced process technology for recycling of waste oils.
Economics
- The cost for electricity, fuel, water, waste water disposal and chemicals will be $15-30 per m³ (US$ 0.06-0.13 per US gallon) of used oil processed.
- Direct labor will be 10-15 persons.
- The land requirement for a fully integrated facility will be 1 acre (4000 m²) – 7 acre (28000 m²).
Key characteristics of the technology
- The process technology for recycling used lubricating oils is based on distillation, adsorption and hydrotreating processes.
- Specially designed evaporators preserve oil quality and prevent corrosion and fouling of equipment.
- Our evaporators have no moving parts and do not require cranes for theircleaning and maintenance.
- For given product quality, lowest capital & operating costs compared to any other technology supplier.
