OSTI ID:7318381
The recycling of waste automotive lubricating oil and similar waste hydrocarbon oils is discussed. The present waste oil situation is reviewed and an economic and technical study of a new re-refining process, the PVH (propane-vacuum-hydrogen) process, is presented. The PVH process is compared with other waste oil treatments and with virgin lube oil refining, and reasons why PVH re-refining is an attractive business venture are considered.
