In China, some people make $1 million a year by recycling waste engine oil. When interviewing them, they said that basically, every family has a private car, which uses a lot of oil, so a lot of waste oil is replaced every year. They all use a waste oil distillation machine to recycle waste oil and then process it to convert the waste oil into a base oil and sell it again. Get higher profits through this method. If you also want to increase your income through the waste oil distillation machine, you need to read this article.

What is waste engine oil?

Waste engine oil means that the engine oil is mixed with impurities such as moisture, dust, other miscellaneous oils, and metal powders produced by mechanical wear during use, which causes the color to turn black and the viscosity to increase.

Anyone who knows how to maintain a car knows that if you want your car to not break easily, you need to change the oil frequently. Engine oil is widely used in various machinery, vehicles, ships, and equipment, and the main functions are as follows.

  • Play the role of lubrication. The oil in the engine provides lubrication to pistons, bearings, and other moving parts reduces friction and prevents damage to the parts
  • Play a cleaning role. In the combustion chamber, there are all burned substances, which are absorbed by the engine oil and suspended in it. Therefore, the base partner must have a cleaning effect, otherwise, it will form a precipitate, which will remain on the oil filter and other parts, preventing the normal circulation of the base partner.
  • Play the role of rust removal and corrosion inhibition. The engine oil is weakly alkaline, which can neutralize a large number of acidic substances contained in the exhaust gas after the combustion of the mixed steam.
  • Play a role in sealing and cooling. There is a certain gap between the cylinder and the cylinder wall, and the oil forms an oil film between these gaps, which can play a good sealing role. Engine oil can dissipate high-temperature heat into the air in the oil pan.

Because engine oil has so many functions, every car is inseparable from engine oil. When the engine is used in the car, the engine oil will gradually decrease due to the heat of the engine, and the impurity of the engine oil will increase due to the wear and tear of the engine. This affects the effect of the engine oil. If the engine oil is not changed all year round, the car will easily break down due to the heat of the engine. The oil is changed, and the oil is generally collected in a large iron bucket waiting for recycling.

Why recycle waste engine oil?

The main reason is that the amount of waste engine oil is too large. If this waste engine oil is collected by small traders and flows into the market without proper treatment, it will cause great harm to society.

  1. Potential safety hazards. The production process and production methods of the small vendors are simple, and the processed products are shoddy, disrupting the normal market order, causing great damage to the vehicles, and no safety guarantee.
  2. Environmental hazards. The transportation tools and workplaces of small vendors are simple, and waste engine oil is spilled or dumped on the ground, causing great damage to the ecological environment. For example, 0.5 kg of waste engine oil can pollute 1,000 tons of clean water, which is almost 7 people’s drinking water a year.
  3. Hidden health hazards. Small traders work in a harsh working environment and have no protective measures. If they smell pungent waste engine oil for a long time, people’s respiratory tract and lungs will have chronic inflammation, which can cause pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema over time.

What can the recycled waste engine oil be used for?

  1. At present, the most mainstream way to deal with waste engine oil is to do regeneration treatment, which is to re-extract the waste engine oil into transparent base oil through dehydration, deslagging, distillation, and other steps, and then it will become engine oil by adding additives, etc., The oil can be continuously recycled, and the ecological environment will not be damaged as much as possible. Some people make $1 million a year because of doing this business, but to do this, they have to apply for a business permit from the Environmental Protection Administrative Department.
  2. The recovered waste engine oil can also be left untreated, and the waste oil can be directly used as fuel for oil-fired boilers.
  3. To be used as a concrete release agent in buildings is to apply it on the construction template before pouring concrete, to prevent the concrete from sticking to the construction template.
  4. Spray waste engine oil on roads that are prone to dust to stick the dust and prevent dust.
  5. It can still be used for lubricated parts with low lubrication requirements, such as our bicycle chains, wharf iron chains, and some metal hinges on the construction site that need to be lubricated.
  6. It can be used to refine industrial raw materials such as asphalt.

Where to recycle waste engine oil?

  1. Motor vehicle repair shops. This is the place where the most waste oil is recycled. Generally, the oil is changed in the repair shop. Every car is changed once a year, 4 liters at a time. Now there are so many private cars, so every year The waste engine oil that was replaced is also a terrible thing.
  1. The port, the port is the place where the ship stops, and the ship also runs on the engine. As long as the engine is available, the oil is indispensable. If it is a large ship, the oil is still used a lot. Of course, the oil must be changed after a long time.
  1. In a motorcycle repair shop, don’t underestimate a small motorcycle. On average, it needs to change the oil every three or four months, one liter each time, and three or four liters after a year. Now drive a motorcycle. There are still a lot of people, and there will be many waste oils that are replaced in a year.

Summarize

Some people buy engine oil online to be cheap and then change the engine oil by themselves, and the waste engine oil is discarded at will. This has undoubtedly caused a lot of pollution to nature.

Therefore, when you change the oil, it is best to go to a repair shop. The cost is only your wages. Yangjiang the oil yourself may not be professional enough, and it may even take longer. After the engine oil is changed, the waste engine oil is collected in a uniform iron drum for recycling. Even if the waste engine oil is replaced, it must be installed to avoid environmental pollution. Of course, if you are interested in waste oil recovery machines, you can find us through our contact information, and our engineers will give you more professional answers.
