How to handle and recycle the emulsified waste oil from reciprocating compressors?
Thread Content
The emulsified waste oil discharged from the inter-stage separator of reciprocating compressors, although in small quantities, cannot be discharged casually due to the increasingly strict environmental regulations in place today. So, what cost-effective approach should be adopted to handle this? I invite fellow netizens to actively discuss it.
Solution: 1. Collect more of it, filter and separate it using a high-speed centrifuge to remove water and mechanical impurities; the oil can still be used. ⒉Return to the refinery for reprocessing.
It is processed by an oil recovery device; such technology is now available. The recovered oil is treated to remove the damaged molecules within it, and as a result, the treated oil meets the standards of new oil and can be reused. However, investment is necessary; it’s not very cost-effective when the volume is very small.
Since the quantity is small, it’s not cost-effective to handle it by oneself! There are specialized manufacturers responsible for recycling, processing them uniformly, and then reusing them!
It is understood that there is information indicating that ceramic membranes can be used for treatment, but it is unknown what the effects would be Does any fellow sailor know about this? Let me introduce it! :handshake
It is processed using an oil recovery unit; through measures such as heating, sedimentation, filtration, decolorization, water removal, and neutralization, the treated oil can be reused.
In our factory, the workshops collect used oil, which is then purchased and sold. As for exactly how it’s done, I’m not really sure: lol
