 CORE-PROCESS OF FEMD-Tech
|
Core processes of recycling waste oil to base oil are inclusive of discoloration and oxidized substances and dirt rejecting. As to discoloration acid clay filtration or micro-filtration with vacuum enforcement were the main methods in the past, nevertheless, in order to eliminate environment impact, these processes
Solvent extraction technology, for large scale plant Capacity of solvent extraction technology for large scale plant consideration usually could be up to 50,000 KL annually. Capital cost, operation cost, and waste disposal, however, would be the major problems for this technology.
In exception of working times, distillation process is an ideal substitution. In order to increase working efficiency, distillation in associated with vacuum enforcement has then become a main stream technology recently.
Different from other similar technology, FEMD-Tech use high vacuum-enforcement at about 0.1 mbar in the 1st core process with Thin Film Evaporator for water repelling, and followed by a Molecular Distillation process with an ultra-deep-vacuum system at a range of 15~20 pa for base oil recovery at the 2nd core process. |

There are 2 (two) independent core processes that work respectively. The 1st core process is water repelling, feedstock from raw material storage tank conveyed by eccentric internal-gear pump to a Thin Film Evaporator (TFE).
In the meantime, the low level vacuum pump starts generating vacuum force. Waste water, the heavy phase product from TFE, working at a temperature about 90 C then drop down to the intermediate tank underneath, and oil mixture, the light phase product, ready for next processing, then by-pass to another intermediate tank.
The 2nd core process is prosecuted in a Molecular Distillation process system. Depending on properties of waste oil mixture incoming,working temperature in this phase could be various from 250 up to 350 ℃ . |
