Used oil re-refining is the process of restoring used oil to new oil by removing chemical impurities, heavy metals and dirt.Used Industrial and automotive oil is recycled at re-refineries. The used oil is first tested to determine suitability for re-refining, it is then dehydrated, which is then tre

The breakdown voltage of mineral insulation oil was systematically investigated under the influences of moisture, acidity, pressure and particles. The standards IEC156/95 (VDE0370/Part5/96 and ASTM D1816) specified the test conditions.Moisture provides charge carriers, therefore a moisture saturatio

To assess the insulating property of dielectric transformer oil, a sample of the transformer oil is taken and its breakdown voltage is measured.The transformer oil is filled in the vessel of the testing device. Two standard-compliant test electrodes with a typical clearance of 2.5 mm are surrounded

Waste oil can be disposed of in different ways, including sending the used oil off-site (some facilities are permitted to handle the used oil such as your local garages and local waste disposal facilities), burning used oil as a fuel (some used oil is not regulated by burner standards, but others th

The U.S. EPA defines the term "used oil" as any petroleum or synthetic oil that has been used, and as a result of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical properties. "Used oil" is a precise regulatory term. "Waste oil" is a more generic term for oil that has been contaminated with substance

CLEANING USED ENGINE OILIn hard times in the past, many people have cleaned their own engine oil so their internal combustion engines would not wear out from the use of old, dirty oil. Because it is a simple process to do, and may be necessary in the future, I will give you that information now. Onc

Flash Point of Diesel FuelDiesel fuel is assigned a flash point between 100 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The flash point of diesel fuel varies inversely with its volatility. Its higher flash point makes diesel safer to handle and store than gasoline.Definition of Flash PointFlash point refers to the

Putting aside the electric strength of the transformer oil or insulating liquid in a transformer, it is important that the liquid is maintained so that the integrity of the core transformer components are retained. Key to this is the paper insulation and cellulose. The combination of heat, moisture

A mixture of heavy fuel oils, diesel fuel and water is commonly recovered from ships, tank-cleaning, washing, emergency responses to leaks, spills etc. Such wastes are collected by industrial service providers at ports, refineries, tank-terminals etc.The waste fuel oils are burned off in industrial 

Automotive oil recycling involves the recycling of used oils and the creation of new products from the recycled oils, and includes the recycling of motor oil and hydraulic oil. Oil recycling also benefits the environment: increased opportunities for consumers to recycle oil lessens the likelihood of
