Abstract:

Most waste streams from automotive-related sources, and from many industrial generators, contain primarily oil, hydrocarbon solvents, and water. Fortunately, mixtures of these components can be separated for recovery using distillation. The waste streams are actually turned into feedstock to recovery process plants. Waste minimization goals are achieved by removing these materials from the waste category, since they are collected not for disposal, but for recycling. This workshop paper briefly reviews the steps applied in the used oil re-refining case, then examines the key to the success of such re-refining systems.
