    LUBE OIL RE-REFINING


    TECHNOLOGY

    Tomorrow's technology, engineered today…….


    ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN

    • We should take some step to protect environment while


    studying the process we concentrated on mainly two
    things.

    What is refining industry discharging?

    How is it discharged?
    ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION…..

     Hazardous wastes include oily sludge, slop oil emulsion solids, leads
    tank bottom corrosion solids

     45000 Metric ton/Month – Huge amount of sludge deposited on


    earth through re-refining process country like Saudi Arabia

     Refineries generate solid wastes and sludges ranging from 3 to 5 kg


    per ton of crude processed, 80% of this sludge may be considered
    hazardous because or the presence of toxic organics and heavy
    metals.
    STEP TOWARDS PRESERVING THE EARTH….

    • We have carried out experiments & proposed environmental


    friendly Re-refining Process.
    • Re-refining of used lube oil is an economically attractive recycling
    method in terms of resources conservation and environment
    protection. It allows processing of hazardous material and
    effective way to recover an high quality base oil product.
    • This resulting strong economic incentive for re-refining considering
    lube oil price. Re-refining can produce base oils.
    OVERVIEW

    • Used lube oil is generally a mixture of different types and grades of used
    lube oils, coming from motor crank cases and industry users.

    • Used Oil Characteristics

    Components Wt. %
    Water and Light Ends 5-10
    Gas Oil 6-8
    Lube Oil Fraction 70
    Residue 15-17
    USED OIL CYCLE
    ADVANTAGES OF USED OIL RE-REFINING

    Environment Protection

    Low Energy Consumption

    High Quality of product


    FACTOR TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE RE-
    REFINING PROCESS
    • Increased use of additive packages in the formulation of finished
    lube oil and by consequence higher level of contaminants in the
    used oil.

    • Increased amount of thermal degradation products due to longer


    mileage of the lubricants.

    • Pollution problems related to the disposal of acid sludge and


    spent clay from the traditional acid/clay re-refining
    HITEK USED OIL RE-REFINING

    • Re-refining is a profitable opportunity since lube oil can be re-


    refined as many times as you like, therefore becoming a very
    attractive business opportunity while safeguarding the
    environment.
    • Among the available today processes, Hitek Re-refining
    Process offers a low energy high yield operation, high quality
    products and absence of noxious wastes or by products.
    RE-REFINING PROCESS UNIT OPERATIONS

    1 • Pretreatment & Dehydration


    II • Gas Oil Removal/Diesel stripping
    III • Vacuum Distillation
    IV • Solvent Extraction
    PRETREATMENT & DEHYDRATION

    • In this process used oil is partly vaporized at atmospheric pressure to


    remove water, gasoline, light contaminants like solvents, glycols,
    organic.
    • Water and light components are condensed and recovered.
    • To produce lubricating oils having the required specification for
    initial volatility.
    • To remove unstable additives and degradation products by hot
    processing, thus preventing their penetration into the lube oil
    distillate.
    PRETREATMENT & DEHYDRATION

    • Waste lube oil from storage is pumped by the feed pump


    through the feed filters, then preheated by hot oil and mixed
    with chemical additive for pre-treatment.
    • The mixture is sent to the flash drum, where light hydrocarbons
    and water are eliminated by flash.
    • Vapor from flash drum overhead contains mainly water and
    gasoline and is routed to the off gas system and used as fuel
    gas for the hot oil heater.
    GAS OIL REMOVAL/DIESEL STRIPPING

    • Gasoil is removed from the waste lube oil in the gasoil stripper
    • This is for the correction of oil flash point and recovery of gasoil
    fraction.
    • Gasoil is obtained as overhead and then sent to storage.
    • Part of the gasoil is returned to the stripper as reflux.
    • Stripped oil from the bottom is sent to the vacuum distillation
    section.
    VACUUM DISTILLATION

    • Lube oil from gas oil stripper is sent to vacuum distillation to recover
    base oil fraction from "heavier than "contaminants.
    • Vacuum distillation is carried out under high vacuum conditions, high
    temperature and by distillation column.
    • To recover lube oil from heavy residue and separate lube oil cuts.
    • In order to obtain maximum lube oil recovery, distillation temperature is
    extremely high and pressure is maintained at very low value.
    VACUUM DISTILLATION

    • The bottom product of column is the asphaltic residue, which is


    pumped to storage.
    • To recover lube oil from heavy residue and separate lube oil cuts.
    • Process sour water and light hydrocarbons from vacuum systems are
    collected and sent to waste water treatment.
    SOLVENT EXTRACTION

    • The final step of the process, which improves base oil quality, is the
    Finishing.
    • Lube extraction is carried out to remove poly aromatic hydrocarbons from
    the feed stocks to improve Viscosity Index, Color, Oxidation Stability
    through the action of NMP solvent.
    • Oil and extract stripping, to allow recovery of the last fractions of NMP from
    both the oils and extract.
    • Solvent Purification by Flash and Dehydration of solvent through distillation.

    ADVANTAGES OF NMP EXTRACTION

    • Superseding phenol- furfural lube refining


    • High solvent power, lower solvent-to-feed ratio required
    • Low temperature & energy efficient operation.
    • Use of water gives higher raffinate yields
    • Quick phase separation and fast settling lead to increased
    throughput and smaller new units for a given size of the plant
    • Lower operating cost
