Home / Literatures During the re-refining process of waste oil, the yield of base oil is often lower than expected. Besides the equipment performance, the actual recovery rate is also affected by the quality of raw materials, moisture, light components, heavy pollutants, vacuum conditions and refining losses. Before replacing the equipment or increasing the operating…
Home / Literatures Dark color is a common quality issue for refined base oils, but it does not necessarily indicate a failure in the distillation process. The final color is influenced by the raw material condition, residual impurities, thermal conditions, and the downstream purification effect. Identifying the source of the color is the first step…
Home / Literatures Step inside any cheap oil recycling plant, and two obvious factors tell you the end product is of poor quality – a deep, unstable amber hue that changes color quickly within days, as well as an unmistakable sulfur smell. The failure to ensure color and odor stability is crucial for medium to large-scale…
Running a waste oil recycling plant not only means maintaining a lean headcount and low costs of supplies, but also effective process management, material handling, as well as the most efficient use of energy available, to ensure the operations are well managed to prevent the waste of high production capacities in the name of low margins.
Discover how to boost profitability in your used oil recycling plant with thermal efficiency, continuous feeding, high vacuum stability & EPC delivery. Maximize ROI now.
Home / Literatures In 2026, the world energy scene is marked by an odd mix of lots of supply and unstable politics. The crude oil price keeps going up and down in unpredictable ways because of regional conflicts and changing trade alliances. This is happening while industries try to keep their operational margins. These changes directly…
Home / Literatures March of 2026 has ushered in a new set of uncertainties to the global energy markets stemming from new geopolitical realities. With military actions in the Middle East and the operational closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude oil prices have crossed the $110 per barrel mark, the first time in 4…
For the big industrial investors, the story has changed. The establishment of a high-capacity used oil recycling plant is no longer merely seen as the “green” thing to do; it is now seen as a way to protect oneself from the fractured world oil market.
IIn the global refining industry, in the year 2026, environmental regulations are very stringent. The sulfur content in the fuels used in transportation should be below 10 ppm, according to the Euro VI and Tier 4 specifications. The naphtha hydrotreating unit is a key part in the overall configuration, driven by the need for this process, which is no longer just a compliance issue, but a necessity to avoid poisoning the downstream catalytic reformer and isomerization units.
If you’re in the used oil recycling business, then you already know that the “spread” between the cost of the waste oil and the price received for the base oil is only half the battle. The real profit is made or lost in the tiny details of the operation. High operating costs, frequent catalyst changes, or a 5% decrease in yield can destroy any profit margin in a hurry, much faster than any changes in the market can affect it.
