A property-integration approach to solvent screening
The significant quantities of used and discharged lubricating oils pose a major environmental problem around the world. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the sustainable usage of lubricating oils by adopting recovery, recycle, and reuse strategies. In this study, a property-integration framework is used in the optimization of solvent selection for re-refining of used lubricating

- Does used oil re-refining offer zero utility?
- 155 U.S. Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy, Used Oil Re-Refining Study to Address Energy Policy Act of 2005 Section 1838 (2006). directly to landfill, then this assumption is appropriate to make because the used oil offered zero utility to any other process.
- Does re-refining oil affect environmental and energy impacts?
- Overall, the LCA literature on environmental and energy impacts suggests that producing products through re-refining of used oil or from virgin oil has tradeoffs and neither primary waste management strategy dominates the other in any of the major LCA impact categories.
- Should a federal strategy be based on lubricant & fuel petroleum products?
- Additionally, API advises that a Federal strategy should allow the marketplace to develop and maintain a broad portfolio of used oil dispositions related to both lubricant petroleum products and fuel petroleum products, and any strategy should not institute market-distorting biases that favor any single used oil disposition route.
- Are re-refining techniques better than refining virgin oil from crude?
- The electricity and energy impacts will need to be traced upstream and unified into a single energy unit before concluding whether certain re-refining techniques perform better or worse energetically than refining virgin oil from crude. The results in Table 14 suggest that further study might be needed on this energy comparison.
- What is used oil refining?
- Once collected, a variety of processes may be applied to used oil to transform it into usable products. Generally, used oil refining (or re-refining) is the term used to define processing that renders a primary final base stock product that can be used as the principal blending component in a lubricant.
- Why do ships need a gas oil refining facility?
- Globally, there is adequate refining capability to supply the compliant gas oil and ships can accommodate the fuel quality change. The option will be expensive because of the large gas oil residual price differential and because the lower energy content of the gas oil will result in higher fuel consumption.
