Lube oil, or lubricating oil, is the term used for hydrocarbon-based mineral oil used for lubricating gearboxes, industrial machinery, lawn and garden equipment, and engines. Lube oil becomes contaminated by several different means. Contamination can be in the form of water, dust, metal shavings, or

Used oil re-refining is the process of restoring used oil to new oil by removing chemical impurities, heavy metals and dirt.Used Industrial and automotive oil is recycled at re-refineries. The used oil is first tested to determine suitability for re-refining, it is then dehydrated, which is then tre

The breakdown voltage of mineral insulation oil was systematically investigated under the influences of moisture, acidity, pressure and particles. The standards IEC156/95 (VDE0370/Part5/96 and ASTM D1816) specified the test conditions.Moisture provides charge carriers, therefore a moisture saturatio

To assess the insulating property of dielectric transformer oil, a sample of the transformer oil is taken and its breakdown voltage is measured.The transformer oil is filled in the vessel of the testing device. Two standard-compliant test electrodes with a typical clearance of 2.5 mm are surrounded

Waste oil can be disposed of in different ways, including sending the used oil off-site (some facilities are permitted to handle the used oil such as your local garages and local waste disposal facilities), burning used oil as a fuel (some used oil is not regulated by burner standards, but others th

The U.S. EPA defines the term "used oil" as any petroleum or synthetic oil that has been used, and as a result of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical properties. "Used oil" is a precise regulatory term. "Waste oil" is a more generic term for oil that has been contaminated with substance
