Recycling used engine oil technique
Posted by Steve on May 20, 2006
Dear Sir,
If I can collect good amount of used engine oil and I want to recycle it to re-used ; what is the best techniques for such project?
What is the expected quality of the product after the process and where it can used? any further information I will be glad to have them.
Recycling of used engine oil is a complex, and energy consuming exercise. During the life of a motor oil it is exposed to large quantities of impurities, increase in acidity, depletion of additives, and oxidation. Therefore even with the high cost of crude oil at the moment it rarely makes economic or environmental sense to recycle a used motor lubricant for subsequent use as a motor oil. The best option for re-use is to sell to a specialist such as safety Kleen, who can process the oil and use for non- motor oil applications.
