Acid-clay Process Equipment

Following are the features of Acid-Clay Process Equipment:
* Acid-Clay Process for used oil recycling/reprocessing is Old and popular. This is a Proven technology worked for many years worldwide. Can be set-up for very small capacity.
* Low Capital investment. Makes it most cost effective for small and tiny scale plants.
* Non sophisticated, Very simple process. Simple to operate, No advanced instruments, No skilled operators required.

Drawbacks:

* Causes Environmental pollution due to generation of acid sludge and acid gas emission. Disposal of acid sludge is a problem.
* Causes corrosion of equipments reducing its life.
* Gives Lower yield. Due to loss of oil in sludge as well as clay since higher dosage of clay is required.
* As most of the government has adopted stringent pollution control regulations, this process is on its way out.
