Waste Oil Recovery

Waste Oil Recovery

The Waste Oil Recovery Industry is of several dozens Billion USD every year and is an important application segment for Activated Bleaching Earth. This category comprises Transformer oil, waste/used oil, Pyrolysis oil and Bio Diesels. Non-edible oil refining is requires removal of impurities like colour pigments, solid particulate matter and other unwanted substances.

Waste or used lube oil is one of the largest application segments for Bleaching earth. Lube oil finds major applications in the automobile industry. The refining of 42 gallons of crude oil produces around 0.5 gallons of lube oil while recycling of 42 gallons of used oil produces around 34 gallons of lube oil. Recycling of this oil is hence of great importance.

Challenges in Waste Oil Segment:

  • Removal of impurities like colour pigments, solid / particulate matter and other unwanted substances.
  • Removal of Moisture and polar impurities.

Products offered:

  • Activated Bleaching Earth : IM-ACT1 Grades

Benefits:

  • Highly Activated Clay with High Surface area
  • Longer clay lifecycle to reduce the changeover cost of catalyst
  • Lower Moisture content which minimizes the Dry out Period
  • Lower Free acidity to eliminate undesirable side chain reactions
