Nowadays, there are many people who want to change the engine oil of their cars by themselves. However, the used engine oil from cars is disposed of incorrectly, which can cause serious environmental problems. Therefore, proper disposal of used engine oil is very important.
In this article, we will discuss the process and methods for properly disposing of used engine oil.
What is used engine oil??
Used engine oil is oil that has been used in engines and is contaminated with dirt such as soot, metals, and various chemicals, which reduces its lubricating properties. In addition, used engine oil contains toxic substances that can affect the environment and health if it is not handled properly.
The importance of proper engine oil disposal
- Prevent pollution : Used engine oil that is not properly disposed of can leak into water sources or soil, causing contamination that is harmful to aquatic life and plants.
- Conservation of natural resources : Engine oil can be recycled. Recycling engine oil reduces the use of new resources and reduces the need to produce new oil.
- Prevent health hazards : Toxins in used engine oil can affect human health, such as skin irritation or respiratory system damage.
What can used oil be used for??
1. Recycle and reuse as new engine oil.
Used engine oil can be recycled, which removes impurities and heavy metals, restoring the oil’s properties so that it can be reused.
However, recycling used engine oil often involves complicated processes and high recycling costs. It requires filtration, chemical separation, and the addition of additives to obtain engine oil with the same high quality as new oil. This method is not popular in Thailand because it is expensive and B-grade engine oil can also damage the engine if the recycling quality is not good enough, which will not be worthwhile in the long run.
2. Use as alternative fuel for factories.
Used oil can be used as fuel in industrial plants, especially in processes that require high heat, such as cement production or combustion in furnaces, because used oil has a relatively high calorific value of approximately 9,000 Kcal/g, which is similar to fuel oil.
However, to be used as an alternative fuel, it must go through the process of water separation and filtration first. Because used engine oil contains approximately 3-5% water and metal scraps, so before using it, it is necessary to have a proper recycling process first. Then it can be used safely. Otherwise, it will have a negative effect on the pump and machinery in the long run.
3. Used for lubricating machinery.
Filtered or cleaned engine oil can be used to lubricate machinery that does not require high-quality oil, such as factory machinery or agricultural equipment. This use saves costs and reduces waste.
Prices and costs of used engine oil management
The price of used engine oil management will vary depending on the quality of the engine oil, as there are many types and varieties of machine oil. If the engine oil is of poor quality, there will be a disposal fee of 1-2 baht per liter.
If the used engine oil is of good quality, the oil recycling center will generally haveBuy used engine oil. The price may be between 4-15 baht per liter.
