What to do with old motor oil from cars? Can we recycle old motor oil?

Industry news / DATE:2023/10/24

Yes, old motor oil from cars can be recycled. Recycling old motor oil is an important step in environmental conservation and reducing waste. Recycling old motor oil helps to minimize pollution and preserves valuable resources.

Here are some options for properly handling and recycling old motor oil:

1. For one way, you can collect the old motor oil and take designated recycling centers or collection points where you can drop off your used motor oil. These places possess facilities that have specialized processes to recycle or dispose of the oil safely and responsibly.

2. The other common and profitable way is to reutilize the old motor oil and refine it into diesel by waste oil distillation machine, where the used motor oil is processed to remove impurities and contaminants. The obtained diesel fuel can then be used again as fuel source in industrial burners or furnaces or run in diesel generators, heavy machinery like trucks, tractors, ships, boats, etc.

If you have a relatively small amount of old motor oil, then the first way is suggested to adopt. If you want to engage in the used motor oil recycling business and make higher profit, then we recommend the second way.

DOING waste oil distillation machine is specially designed for recycling old motor engine oil into diesel. The refining process includes: distillation and removal of impurities, cooling, degumming and deodorization, and further decolorization treatment. If you have higher requirements for the color and purity of diesel, you can choose the decolorization system to further decolorize the obtained diesel oil. Finally, clean and bright-colored diesel can be obtained. Diesel oil output rate is about 85%.

And the whole old motor oil to diesel distillation process is environmentally friendly and safe, which has been well proved in many customers' waste oil distillation plant running sites in Canada, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ghana, South Africa, Haiti, Italy, Chile, Philippines, Romania, etc.

By recycling old motor oil, we can conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize the environmental impact associated with the disposal of hazardous waste.
