Used Oil Refining

Finepac Structures
Used oil refining decreased greenhouse gases and hence is a better way to handle the lube. It is easier on the atmosphere and modifies the oil into a renewable source. The used oil is collected from various sources and transported to the refining unit in specially assigned vehicles. 

Being one of the leading manufacturers of distillation equipment deployed in used oil refining, Finepac Structures is a prominent player in this industry. The refining process consists of certain processes detailed below.

  • Dehydration: Removal of water from the used oil. This water is then treated chemically and biologically before being released.
  • Light End Recovery: After dehydration, the used oil goes into tall recovery towers where light fuels and glycol is separated.
  • Fuel stripping: Here the heavier fuels are extracted. Such extracted fuels are then used for industrial heating.
  • Vacuum distillation: The heaviest of the impurities are removed here and are converted into asphalt extenders or are used as fuel in heavy industries.
  • Hydrotreating: In this last step, impurities like Sulphur, Nitrogen, Chlorine, heavy metals etc are finally removed to produce pure base oil that can be reused after adding the necessary additives.
