Due to pressure on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (burnt recycled oil emissions are similar to burning waste wood) and industry increasingly preferring to use gas as industrial fuel reusing oil when ever possible is the best solution. The amount of greenhouse gas emission depends on many things including burn temperature, air flow, and systems to "catch" the emissions but there will always be unwanted emissions. The data suggesting global environmental change is increasing every week. It makes sense to reuse your oil.
There are various theories on how oil was formed but scientists agree it was formed over thousands of years by living organisms and is in limited supply, we should respect this.
One day soon you will be charged to dispose of all used oil. This will probably occur within the next few years, look to Europe and assess for yourself what will occur. In australia we manufacture a lot less but our future is obvious just by observing Europe. Waste oil recyclers have limited capacity and customer demand for re-refined waste oil.
The most desirable option is to reuse your oil. Most oils do NOT wear out. Many things can happen to oil but most commonly it just gets contaminated and this can be prevented or fixed. Do not follow manuals that use old methods of "disposal and replace" oil because it is not viable anymore.
Filtered and dehydrated oil returns to like new oil. With our processes it can be 10x cleaner than new oil and we provide independent before and after laboratory test reports to prove it. Particle counters and manual tests are used to compare and validate.
It has been proved by various reputable sources such as universities that over 70% of machinery failures occur due to preventable contamination.
We offer the following reclamation services:
Bypass filtering units for hydraulic systems, mobile filter and dehydration units, interpretation of oil analysis results, flushing, on-site filtering, batch processing at our factory.
