Oil purification systems are technology-based solutions for industries that are affordable and in some cases even generate income by lending them to other companies for a price. It is a green technology that is hardly perceived or focused on the main industrial sectors. The problem is that people do not realize that oil does not die. It is simply contaminated and there are ways to purify or even recycle it. Contaminated oil that infiltrates the ground can enter aquifers that supply drinking water, causing serious environmental damage and health risks.
A million gallons of water can easily be contaminated with the toxic waste produced with a single oil change. Even the Environmental Protection Agency has issued guidelines for managing, reusing and recycling used oil, which is the need of the moment with the worsening global climate. Americans alone consume about 19 million barrels per day, and used oil is a significant part of that number. Industry accounts for almost half of oil consumption. Used oil is always handled as a hazardous material, depending on its chemical composition. Oil purification systems can help make a difference through recycling.
More than that, used oil manufacturers don’t see the savings involved, so they won’t understand the need to purify the oil. Until 2012, a measly five percent of industrial plants believed in restoring and reusing oil, but due to awareness and research, these numbers have risen sharply since then. Due to the financial gains from oil purification systems, the knock-on effect on cost savings is enormous. For example, factories and plants do not have to pay to transport used oil, they can simply recycle it.
On-site oil purification affects downtime. Every time a plant is closed to repair equipment, thousands of dollars are lost per hour and the main reason for failure is contaminated oil. So the purification systems act as a dialysis machine for all industrial equipment. With wheels and carts, they are easily transferred to equipment such as turbines and pumps that connect to the system. The process cleanses the oil of contaminants and returns it to its near-original state, reducing breakdown and repair rates. Various industries have started to realize that purification systems can save them huge amounts of money in different ways.
For example, solid waste management operators can use the system in their fleet of trucks and vehicles to extend their useful life. Cement factories are another example of the use of oil purification systems for their heavy machinery. Large power plants and grid stations use turbines and transformers that are varnished due to moisture contamination. Processing plants and production facilities use oil systems for their large-scale operations. Others, such as compressor plants in the oil and gas sectors, cannot tolerate pollution, otherwise the gas flow for energy to the consumer would be severely affected.
