Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions from customers planning waste oil upgrading and diesel recovery projects.

Yes. With a suitable regeneration and upgrading process, waste engine oil, used lubricating oil and other waste mineral oils can be converted into diesel products. Final product quality depends on feedstock condition and process configuration.

Thin film distillation improves heat transfer efficiency and shortens material residence time. This helps reduce thermal cracking and coking risk while improving recovery of useful oil fractions.

Fractionation separates the distilled oil according to boiling range, creating a better base for downstream refining and final diesel quality upgrading.

This step reduces sulfur-containing compounds in the recovered oil, improving environmental performance and market value of the final diesel product.

Yes. Capacity, pretreatment level, module combination, automation configuration and supporting systems can all be customized according to project requirements.

The system can be designed for waste engine oil, used motor oil, waste lubricating oil, industrial waste oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, transmission oil and mixed mineral-based waste oils.
