Used oil – as its name INTRODUCTION DISCUSSION

implies – is any petroleum
-based or synthetic oil that
has been used. During
normal use, impurities such
as dirt, metal scrapings,
water or chemicals can get
mixed in with the oil or be
generated in it due to
thermal degradation or
oxidation. Therefore, the oil
quality gradually decreases
to a level that the used oil
should be replaced by a new
one. Disposing the used oil
off in nature creates an
intense dangerous pollution.
But by proper recovery and
refinement of it, a lot of
valuable product can be
obtainedd. This article
studies one of the best
methods of used oil re-
refining and compares its
product specifications with
those of a virgin base oil.

WATER :Fuel burns to CO2 and H2O.
FUEL : Unburned petrol or diesel passes through to the

CARBON : Forms as a result of incomplete
combustion when an engine is warming up and passes
through to the lube oil.
