Waste Oil Management

Waste Oil Management
Fossil Refinery’s waste oil management process is essential for minimizing environmental impact and ensuring sustainable oil recycling. Here’s a breakdown of their approach:

Collection And Transportation
Fossil Refinery collects waste oil from various sources, including automotive service centers, industrial plants, and marine operations. They use certified containers and ISO tanks to safely transport waste oils to their processing facilities across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and India.

Testing and Classification
Upon arrival, waste oils undergo testing to determine their chemical composition, contaminants, and levels of wear metals, water, or other impurities. This classification helps decide the appropriate treatment methods for each batch, ensuring efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Pre-treatment and Contaminant Removal
Initial filtration removes larger contaminants like dirt, metal shavings, and sludge. Pre-treatment also includes methods to remove water and separate oil from other waste by-products, ensuring a cleaner input for further processing.

Advanced Refining Processes
Fossil Refinery uses advanced refining techniques such as:
Vacuum Distillation: This process separates various fractions by boiling the oil at reduced pressures, recovering different grades of oil suitable for reuse.

Hydrotreating: Introduces hydrogen under controlled conditions to remove sulfur and other impurities, improving oil quality and stability.

Clay Filtration: This removes remaining contaminants and color bodies, producing clear, refined oil.

Quality Testing and Certification
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets safety and quality standards. Fossil Refinery focuses on adhering to both local and international regulations, contributing to their commitment to environmental protection.

Distribution and Recycling
The refined oil is then blended with additives (if needed) and packaged for resale in various sectors. By turning waste oil into usable products, Fossil Refinery reduces waste disposal and promotes circularity within the oil industry.

Environmental Commitment
Fossil Refinery emphasizes reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
