Waste-oil regeneration and upgrading solution

Use feedstock tests and target-product requirements to define pretreatment, distillation, condensation and validation.

Confirm product quality and final use through project-specific testing and local requirements.

Waste-oil regeneration and upgrading

Use feedstock distillation data and target specifications to define the separation route

Used engine oil, industrial lubricants and pyrolysis oil are different feedstocks. Water, light ends, viscosity, ash, metals, sulfur, chlorine and boiling range guide settling, filtration, dehydration, atmospheric or vacuum distillation, and staged condensation.

Common project settings

Automotive and transport service

Collected engine, gear and hydraulic oils require control of water, fuel and coolant contamination.

Industrial maintenance

Factory, mining and heavy-equipment oils may be traceable but still require additive, metal and solids analysis.

Marine and port service

Marine waste oil and bilge-related streams must be separated from water and other regulated components.

Pyrolysis-oil upgrading

Tyre or plastic pyrolysis oil can be assessed for fractionation, with targets tied to tests and buyer requirements.

Feedstocks for priority assessment

  • Source-separated used lubricating, hydraulic and gear oils
  • Traceable industrial waste oils
  • Tyre or plastic pyrolysis oil with baseline analysis
  • Projects with defined target fractions and downstream buyers

Boundaries to confirm first

  • Water, sediment, light ends and flash-point conditions
  • Chlorine, sulfur, metals, ash and regulated contaminants
  • Batch variation caused by mixing oils from different sources
  • Final product naming and use must follow testing and local standards

Typical waste-oil distillation and upgrading chain

01

Classify and sample

Manage feedstocks by source and collect representative samples.

02

Test and define targets

Review water, boiling range, viscosity, flash point, sulfur, chlorine, metals and target properties.

03

Pretreat

Use settling, filtration, dehydration or other methods to reduce water and solids.

04

Evaporate and separate

Select atmospheric, vacuum or project-specific heating and column arrangements.

05

Condense and store fractions

Receive fractions by temperature or boiling range and manage gas and odor.

06

Test products and manage residue

Test each fraction and establish a lawful route for heavy residue.

Main material streams and downstream work

Light fractions

Flash point, boiling range and composition determine internal use, blending or other lawful routes.

Target distillate

Agreed tests determine whether it meets buyer or downstream refining requirements.

Heavy residue

Feedstock and testing define fuel, reprocessing or disposal options.

Non-condensable gas and odor

Route them to closed treatment, controlled heating reuse or the specified purification system.
