EXTRACTING LIGHTWEIGHT CHEMICALS FOR REUSE
With water removed, the used oil goes to tall recovery towers where glycol and light
fuels are atmospherically separated and collected.
BYPRODUCTS
Glycol eventually reprocessed as a finished automotive grade fuel.
REMOVING HEAVIER FUELS FOR INDUSTRIAL USE
The used oil is now subjected to heat and vacuum processes which extract middle
weight oils.
BYPRODUCTS
Fuel for industrial heating.
RECLAIMING HEAVY MATERIALS FOR MULTIPLE USES
Now the heaviest impurities are removed in a complex series of processes. The used
oil is actually vaporized in an extreme vacuum and then condensed. Different materials
are then separated from the oil.
BYPRODUCTS
Heavy oil for industrial use, such as Asphalt Extenders, which are made from
the heaviest residual material.
MORE THAN 200 MILLION GALLONS COLLECTED ANNUALLY
Scheduled and emergency pick up services are available. Oil is removed from storage
tanks and transported to the re-refinery where the recycling process begins.
REMOVING UNWELCOME WATER
Water finds its way into many used oil storage areas, so much of the used oil we
receive contains water. Water is the first impurity we remove, using a process of
evaporation. The water is collected, treated to be chemically and biologically safe
and then discharged.
STRENUOUS TESTING ENSURES QUALITY
Oil from a wide variety of sources may contain chemical or physical contaminants
that are hazardous or prevent that oil from being used in the re-refining process.
Constant testing ensures that our feed stocks are capable of producing the highest
quality end products.
RESULTS
Premium products and environmentally correct recycling.
REMOVING THE FINAL IMPURITIES
The remaining oil is treated with hydrogen to remove sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine,
heavy metals and other impurities. This process also corrects any issues with odor,
color and corrosion performance.
The purified oil is then separated by weight – cleaner than the day it was first
refined and ready to return to the marketplace.
