Summary of the Scheme
The VBOLT-DD series adopts a modular process route to convert waste engine oil, used lubricating oil and other waste mineral oils into high-quality diesel products through pretreatment, thin film distillation, fractionation, refining and oxidative extraction desulfurization.
This engineering solution is designed for waste oil upgrading projects that require continuous production, improved diesel quality and a more advanced process route than simple direct distillation.
Rapid heat transfer and short residence time help reduce thermal cracking, lower coking risk and improve recovery of useful oil components.
Fractionation, refining and desulfurization help produce a more stable, cleaner and higher-value diesel product.
The line can be configured according to feedstock condition, target diesel quality, capacity demand and future expansion plan.
The VBOLT-DD series adopts a modular continuous route from feed pretreatment to final diesel upgrading.
Remove water, sludge, suspended solids and mechanical impurities to improve feed quality.
Achieve efficient heat transfer and recovery with short residence time and lower thermal damage.
Separate target fuel fractions according to boiling range for more controlled upgrading.

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.
If you are planning a waste oil regeneration or diesel recovery project, we can provide a suitable engineering solution based on your feedstock type, capacity requirement and target product quality.
