Environmentally friendly regeneration of used energy oils

Abstract

The article covers the problem of regeneration of used petroleum oils, i.e., transformer, turbine and compressor oils in order to restore their physical and chemical properties and return them for their reuse for their intended purpose. In order to restore the petroleum oils purified from undesirable impurities, the Ionol antioxidant nozzle was implemented. The conducted studies have shown the possibility of using dehydrated Navbakhor bentonite and Kermine opoka-like clay for the regeneration of used oils. The regeneration of the waste compressor KP-8S used oil of Navoiyazot JSC was carried out under laboratory conditions using a local sorbent of opoka-like clays of the Kermine deposit. The resulting regenerated oils have a high and time-stable demulsifying ability and the rest of the inspected physical and chemical properties comply with the GOST standards.
