CONVERT DISPOSAL OF USED LUBE OIL INTO SOMETHING WITH ADDED VALUE Used Lubricating oil categorized as dangerous and poisoned disposal could pose a risk to the environment and could threaten human health Therefore management of used lube cil demands serious attention as a way to avoid inducing new environmental ‘and health problems in the future due to irresponsible waste management. Under current situation cases on ‘consuming inappropriately used lubri- cating oil as substitute for fuel have been found. This in fact has violated government decree 0.32 (2009). In addition to such difficult condition, it has also encouraged more counter- feting practices, selling illegal used {ube oil that could eventually inflict a loss upon cunsomers. But through proper management conducted by PT Wiraswasta Gemilang Indonesia [WGI] such hazardous waste materials can be converted into something with more added values. Using the mast advanced technology the ‘company treats each drip of disposal of used lubricating oil very well. The disposal will be separated from the unused components in order to get high quality base oil that can be used a5 materials to produce outstanding {quality of recycied used tube oil. PT WGI ‘owns refinery plant that was officially operated in March &-, 1996 with current production capacity of base oil at 40,0000, metric tones per year. The Company has used materials of used lube oil up 065,000 kilo litres per year. The company's recycied lubricating base oil have met standards set by the ‘American Petroleum Institute (API] and Lerigas. I most of used lubricating cit can be all collected and recycied, we could significantly conserve our foreign * exchange as we can avoid importing base olor crude ol All these have also contributed to Providing job vacancies for thousands of used lubricating oil collectors sthroughout the country. Above all, the ‘company's rerefinery plant can offer solution for environtmental issues, Rerefining process is an energy efficient and environtmentally beneficial ‘method of managing used lube oil. Compared to other advanced countries of the world such as United States of America that has given alt required encouragement to the rerefining industry and the use of technology, Indonesia is still far behind. It can be seen from level of consumption cof domestic lubricating oil which are relatively high as it compares to the volume of used lubricating oil to be collected that are relatively small, PT.Wiraswasta Gemilang Indonesia 1 Plant Site -Cibitung Bekasi esa Ganda Mekar Km.24 Gikarang Barat - Bekasi Telp.023-8831241 Ext.113 2 Gbang Surabaya .Raya Tropodo Km.24 No.20 Desa Tropodo- Kec-Krian-SIDOARIO.

Proses pemusnian Kembali minyak pelumas bekas dilakukan menggunakan metode Distilasi Thin Film Evaporation dan Hydrofinishing. Metode ini diakui dunia internastonal karena telah teruji sebagai proses pemurnian yang terbaik. . karena mampu memisahkan secera total kendungan bahan pelumas dari residunya Sehingga base oil yang dihasilkan diakui tebih baik kualitasnya dibanding base oil yang cihasilkan langsung dari minyak bumi. Proses pemurnian metode ini dilakukan dalam lima tahap: Minyak pelumas bekas direaksikan dengan bahan- ‘bahan kimia temuan Mohawk.Tujuannya untuk memisahkan kandungan {air dalam minyak petumas bekas, dan untuk menyamin kelancaran [proses pemurnian, menghindari terjadinya penyumbatan dan karat.

FIRST IN ASIA PACIFIC REGION, ONE OF LEADINGS IN THE WORLD Using Mohawk-CEP technology, PT WGI has been noted as the pioneer in the ‘Asia Pacific region in used lube oil recycling manufacturing. The company applies rerefinary process of used lubricating oil by using EB distilation thin film evaporation and hydrofinishing methods which have been, internationally recognized as the best purification process. The result of rerefinary base oil using this method js believed to produce better quality oil compares to that jf using conventional way from crude oil. These purification methods consist of five steps: First Stage The used lubricating oil causes a reaction with chemical materials invented by Mohawk, The ‘main purpose of this stage is to remoye water from used lube oil, to proceed with smooth purification process and to avoid any clogging and rusting, Second Stage. Used lubricating oil that has been free from water will be vacuum distilled This process is aimed to separate contaminants that were carried over such as diesel. Third Stage. The used lubricating oil that has been isolated from water and other undesirable fuel contaminants will then be a distillate that is obtained through a vacuum distillation of a topped crude oil. It is prepared by removing a light fraction of a crude oil by distillation using thinfilm evaporator. The tool that is directly imported form Germany can work under high vacuum condition that ‘would not be possible if it is done by convential vacuum distillation. In a thin film evaporator the raw material is heated up on the internal e, surface of a heated tube until <> [PG the ter baling component stars to evaporate. This stage will finally produce cil base with no water and np fuel contaminants. Proses Keempat. Minyak pelumas dasar yang masih mengandung belerang, klor, dan pada tingkat molekuler terbentuk ikatan tak-jenuh antar atom-atom karbon, direaksikan dengan gas hidrogen melalui proses Catalitic Hydrofinishing. Tujuannya untuk menjenuhkan kembali ikatan antar atom-atom karbon serta membebaskannya dari kandungan belerang dan klor. Proses ini menghasilkan minyak pelumas dasar yang jernih, yang sangat stabil lerhadap reaksi oksidasi sehingga menjamin daya guna yang maksimum dari pelumas. Minyak pelumas dasar yang dihasilkan ini kualtasnya bahkan lebih baik dibandingkan dengan minyak pelumas dasar yang diproses langsung dari ‘minyak mentah, Prose Kelima, Dilakukan fraksionisasi terhadap minyak pelumas dasar yang sudah sempura untuk mendapatkan rminyak pelumas dasar yang berat [kentall dan ringan lencerl Seluruh proses pemurnian dilakukan secara otomats dengan sistem komputerisasi dan dimonitor secara ketat dari ruang kontrol sehingga tidak ada setetespun minyak pelumas bekas yang jatuh ke tanah yang dapat mence- ‘mari lingkungan.

Its a stage when lubricating base oil will pass through the process of catalytic hydrofinishing, a Process that comprises contacting a lubricating oil distillate stock with hydrogen, ‘The whole process can create base stocks for lubricating oil with excellent thermal Stability. Lubricating base oil obtained by this process will have excellent quality and ‘even better than the one obtained directly from crude ol Fifth stage. In this stage the high quality base stocks for lubricating oit will be fractioned in order to get a thick and light base oil The whole purification process is automatic and computerized. The process is also closely monitored from the company's controlling room to make sure there will be no single drip of oil falling down the ground that could pose a risk to the environment.
