Technical Specifications & FAQs
1. WHAT ARE COMMONLY USED HEATING METHODS IN WASTE OIL REFINERIES?
There are three major heating methods: Electrical Heating, Boiler, and Furnace.
Electrical Heater
Often used in small-scale refineries. Advantages include a wide range of heating temperatures and economic solution for small scale.
Hot Oil Boiler
Can be used in medium to large-scale refineries. Heating by boiler in heat exchangers is common in the petrochemical industry. It is safe, efficient, and controllable. Most hot oil boilers have a temperature limit below 380-350°C.
Furnace
Usually used in large-scale refineries. Offers a wide range of heating temperatures and requires no thermal oil consumption compared to hot oil boilers. Furnaces are typically 18-20 meters tall.
2. WHAT ARE THE CATEGORIES OF WASTE PRODUCED FROM WASTE OIL REFINERY?
Waste is generally in 4 categories: Gas, Oily Water, Oil Sludge, and Used Adsorbents.
Gas
Can be purified before emission or burned in a furnace.
Oil Sludge
Can be used for burning or as raw material for making bitumen.
Oily Water
Must be purified by specific facilities or handled by a professional recycler.
Used Adsorbent
Can be used for burning or handed to a professional recycler.
3. WHAT WILL THE YIELD OF BASE OIL AND BYPRODUCTS FROM FOSSIL WOOD WASTE OIL REFINERY?
The typical yield from a waste oil refinery will be:
4. WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF BASE OIL TO BE PRODUCED BY YOUR MACHINE?
The quality of base oil is able to meet API Group 1 and 1+ standards, which can be as good as virgin base oil after the Fossil Wood unique refining process. This base oil can be either sold directly or further blended with additives for making new engine oil.
