Used oil recycling. Joint hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy and Power and the Subcommittee on Transportation and Commerce of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, House of Representatives, Ninety-Sixth Congress, second session on H. R. 7833 and S. 2412, September 8, 1980
H.R. 7833 was a bill to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act and to encourage the recycling of used oil. S. 2412 was an act to encourage the use of recycled oil. Much information was given from EPA's point of view. EPA supports the recovery and reuse of used oil. Waste oil represents a valuable resource because, with appropriate treatment, it can be recycled as a lubricating oil. It also can be burned as a fuel. According to EPA, two important objectives served are (a) the use of virgin petroleum products is replaced by the amount of oil recycled and (b) potential environmental hazards from improper disposal of used oil are reduced or eliminated. Included was the phase 1 recycled oil program test procedures for recycled oil used as burner fuel. This report covered the first phase of the NBS (National Bureau of Standards) program, and contained test procedures which could be used for establishing the substantial equivalency of recycled petroleum oils to new oils for use as a burner fuel. Test procedures were selected and evaluated for their ability to reliably measure the property under test. (DP)
