Abstract

The paper proposes the development of an experimental model of boiler using waste oil revitalized with bentonite, for heating an industrial hall. The main objective is to present a new perspective on the use of waste oils, a framework in which it no longer presents a danger to the environment and to human health, as well as their energy use from an economic and ecological point of view. Experiments were performed to determine the adsorption of the impurities from the waste oil. One of the experiments is to compare the combustion of the revitalized waste oil with the combustion of raw waste oil. The results show improvements in the combustion process and decreases of the pollutant emissions for revitalized waste oil. The CO concentration decreased on average by 52% when and the NOx concentration increased by 57% due to the increase of temperature in the furnace in the case of burning purified oil. The experimental installation is adapted on an industrial hall.

Highlights

  • Waste oils are a more attractive raw material for obtaining basic oils than the corresponding fractions in the oil, because the yield is higher and does not require extraction or solvent deparaffining

  • The application of the research results will contribute to ensuring a sustainable economic development at the project field level

  • As a result of the investments for the exploitation and use in the project field of the natural deposits of absorbents, there will be an economic development of the area, which will lead to the improvement of the living and health conditions of the local population [3]

Summary

Introduction

Waste oils are a more attractive raw material for obtaining basic oils than the corresponding fractions in the oil, because the yield is higher and does not require extraction or solvent deparaffining. An important benefit of the treatment-revitalization of waste oils is the elimination of a complex source of pollution and the return to the consumption of a combustible material [2]. The application of the research results will contribute to ensuring a sustainable economic development at the project field level. This promotes the exploitation and use of the deposits of natural absorbents (bentonites) and the use of waste energy resources while saving the classical resources. As a result of the investments for the exploitation and use in the project field of the natural deposits of absorbents, there will be an economic development of the area, which will lead to the improvement of the living and health conditions of the local population [3]
