What are the benefits of used car oil recycling?

Used car oil is one of the most common types of waste oil generated globally, yet it’s often improperly discarded, leading to significant environmental damage. While recycling used car oil offers a wide range of environmental, economic, and resource conservation benefits. This article discusses the advantages of recycling used car oil and how DOING used oil distillation machines, which can refine the used oil into diesel, asphalt and syngas to help you achieve better benefits in recycling used car oil.

The benefits of used car oil recycling through DOING used oil distillation machine

1.Protects the Environment from Toxic Pollution: Recycling used car oil prevents harmful contaminants from entering the soil, water, and air. Used car oil contains toxic substances like heavy metals and chemicals that can poison wildlife and pollute natural resources. By recycling, we reduce the risk of environmental damage and conserve valuable ecosystems.

Recycling prevents this: DOING used oil distillation machine processed used car oil in a sealed, oxygen-controlled environment, breaking down harmful compounds into non-toxic byproducts. Two types of used oil distillation machines are available: an acid-base wash process and a patented catalyst process. Both ensure the removal of hazardous substances, leaving no harmful residues and meeting environmentally friendly emission standards, thus protecting soil, groundwater, and air.

2.Conserves Finite Crude Oil Resources: Recycling used car oil allows for the recovery of valuable resources. Refined oil can be reused in other industrial processes, reducing the need for new oil extraction. This helps conserve natural resources and lowers the demand for crude oil, ultimately saving energy.

DOING used oil distillation machine maximizes this efficiency: DOING used oil distillation machine converts 10 tons of used car oil into 9 tons of high-quality diesel-like fuel (for generators, boilers, heavy machine), reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

3.Energy Savings: The recycling process requires less energy compared to refining new oil from raw materials. The exhaust gas generated during the operation of DOING used oil distillation machine can be used as fuel, making the recycling process more energy-efficient, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a lower carbon footprint.

4.Creates Lucrative Economic Profits: Recycling used car oil creates economic opportunities by producing reusable products and reducing waste management costs. Refined oil can be sold for various industrial applications, creating an additional revenue stream for businesses that participate in recycling.

DOING used oil distillation machines are designed for profitability: their modular setups (0.1 TPD to 14 TPD) require low initial investment relative to output. Here is a profit analysis chart compiled by DOING after market research for your reference:

The processes of used car oil recycling through DOING used oil distillation machine

1.Heating: The vertical reactor with an indirect heating system enables a fast and efficient distillation process, converting used car oil into oil gas, extending the life of the reactor. With a vertical design, the residue can be easily discharged without waiting it cooling down.

2.Distillation: DOING normal acid-base washing method works by first turning oil gas into oil through condensation, after which the oil is purified using acid-base catalysts. In contrast, DOING new solid catalyst method operates differently: the oil gas generated during distillation flows into a catalytic tower, where it undergoes purification via catalysts A and B before being condensed into oil. This new solid catalyst distillation method is more efficient than normal acid-base washing method.

3.Further purification: After one batch finished, we will pump the refined oil into odor and color removal tank. Because the reactor maintains temperature, another batch can be started, allowing continuous operation every three batches. The decolorized and deodorized oil is of higher quality. The oil color can be darkened or lightened to meet customer requirements.

DOING used oil distillation machine process

Recycling used car oil through DOING used oil distillation machine is not only environmentally responsible, but also economically beneficial and technologically feasible. Whether you're planning to set up a small-scale used oil recycling plant or an industrial re-refinery, you can achieve energy recovery and industrial reuse. Recycling used oil contributes to a cleaner planet and a more sustainable future. Contact DOING to understanding the distillation process, which is essential for achieving high-quality output and environmental compliance.
