Eco-friendly Solutions for Waste Lube Oil Recycling

Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t end with waste oil recycling. We also specialise in waste lube oil recycling, offering eco-conscious solutions for industries that rely on lubricants.

Waste Management Oil Recycling

Waste management oil recycling is becoming increasingly critical due to tightening environmental regulations and the need for sustainable solutions. Improper disposal of waste oils can lead to environmental hazards like soil and water contamination, resulting in heavy fines and reputational damage. By choosing Midland Oil Group, you mitigate these risks while contributing to the circular economy.

We ensure that any oil with no inherent value is disposed of responsibly, sometimes through third-party services when necessary. With Midland Oil, you can rest assured that your oil waste is being managed in the most cost-effective and environmentally conscious manner.

How is Waste Oil Recycled?

The waste oil recycling process begins with a thorough laboratory analysis of your used oil. Our team collects a sample, which undergoes a detailed examination to determine its viability for recycling and any potential contaminants. This process ensures that materials with inherent value are repurposed, while those without are handled with care to minimise their environmental footprint. For those wondering, “how is waste oil recycled?” here’s an overview of the key steps:

1

Pre-acceptance

An expert visually inspected the item, and a representative sample was taken for evaluation.

2

Regeneration Assessment

A laboratory assessment was conducted at MOR, and the condition was reported along with recommendations for regeneration options.

3

Collection

The waste to be regenerated is collected either in packages or in bulk by a specialised MOR road tanker.

4

Pre-treatment

The product is heated for sterilisation and dehydration before proceeding to the contacting stage.

5

Contacting

Absorbents eliminate oxidation, acidity, and other impurities, enhancing the color and clarity of the product.

6

Filtration

The process consists of three to four steps, filtering down to as fine as 5 microns.

7

Blending

Where necessary, the regenerated oil is blended with precise proportions of base oils to adjust its viscosity. Additives can then be included, if needed, to meet your exact specifications.
