According to the existing regulation: engine, compressor, vacuum, industrial, gas turbine, instrument, transformerRead More

Waste Oil Recycling

Virtually any production is accompanied by large amounts of waste which can be reused after undergoing appropriate treatment.  It is  predicted that in the future, the new raw materials will be recycled from industrial waste. Used lubricant oil (ULO) is liquid waste product.  ULO is any oil derived from crude oil or synthetic oil, contaminatedRead More

Waste Oil Collecting and Reclaiming

Lubricating oil is practically always exposed to contamination during operation of machinery.  Wear and tear are the first cause of contamination.  Contaminated oil loses its resistance to oxidation,  loses its lubricating properties and increases wear of the rubbing surfaces. Lubricating oil is constantly under  the influence of high temperatures, atmospheric oxygen and deterioration products.  TheRead More

Silica Gel for Air Drying

Only porous materials,  having a large specific surface, can be adsorbents. To dry air – silica is most commonly used. Silica gel is a result of dehydration of sodium silicate. The specific surface area of this adsorbent is 400-770 m2 / g and granule size – 0,2-7 mm. At the end of its effective operationRead More

Cleaning and Drying of Natural Gas

The presence of impurities and moisture in natural gas is highly undesirable because it can adversely affect the transportation as well as  complicates its operation as fuel and raw material. Also, this process removes pollutants of the environment.  They are carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide. Natural gas should be purified to the contentRead More
