Dehydration of Waste Fuel and Oil in Hull, UK
Sequoia’s water evaporation equipment reduced water in recycled fuel oil from 0.5–1.0% to below 0.1%, helping the customer easily meet government specifications for ash, zinc and water content.
UK-based waste oil collector Re Group was using emulsifiers and heat to drop water out of waste lube oils and fuels. The processed oil, with 0.5–1.0% water, was being filtered in a centrifuge.
The Hull (UK) company installed Sequoia’s efficient water evaporation equipment, which produces oil with less than 0.1% water. As a result, the centrifuge works more efficiently. Ultimately, the company makes a recycled fuel oil product that easily meets government specifications for ash, zinc and water content.
