Petrochemical and Oil Recycling

Used oil can be developed into lubricants, processed into fuel oils, and used as raw substances for the Refining and Petrochemical Industries. Used oil filters include reusable scrap steel, which metal producers can use as scrap feed. To recycle used oil, processors and refiners remove water, insolubles, dust, heavy metals, nitrogen, chlorine, and oxygenated compounds from oil tired from motors or other machines. The resulting product—called “rerefined” oil—need to meet the identical stringent refining, compounding, and performance requirements as virgin oil for use in car, heavy-responsibility diesel and different inner combustion engines and hydraulic fluids and equipment oils.
