Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an installation for regenerating used lubricating oils.
- Lubricating oils generally undergo modifications and alterations during their use, which implies their more or less frequent renewal.
- oils After use, these oils generally contain solid residues, degraded additives, combustion residues, etc.
- the objective of the present invention is therefore the development of a process for the regeneration of used lubricating oils which are low or non-polluting and whose implementation can be carried out under good economic conditions.
- the invention relates to a process for regenerating used lubricating oils in which used lubricating oils are subjected to the following successive treatment steps: a) preheating, b) addition of a strong base, c) extraction of impurities .
- the invention comprises the following characteristics taken in all their possible combinations:
- the oils to be regenerated are brought to a temperature between 120 and 250 ° C. This temperature is preferably between 140 and 160 ° C. -
- the strong base is in aqueous solution.
- the strong base is added at a rate of 1 to 3% by mass of pure base.
- the treated mixture is subjected to a step of extraction and recovery of gas oil (stripping).
- gas oil stripping.
- the elimination of waste is obtained by fractional vacuum distillation ensuring the separation into lubricating base oils, on the one hand, and in residue concentrating all the impurities, on the other hand.
- the vacuum distillation column cooperates with a column bottom exhaust evaporator.
- the strong base is sodium or potassium hydroxide.
- the invention also relates to an installation for regenerating used oils allowing the implementation of the process mentioned above.
- This installation includes: - a used oil storage tank,
- this installation also comprises, between the means for mixing the strong base with the used oils and the means for eliminating waste, a unit for extracting water and light hydrocarbons by expansion (flash ) and a gas oil extraction unit (stripping).
- the means for extracting impurities preferably comprise a distillation unit associated with a column bottom exhaust evaporator.
- the waste oils collected can have various origins, for example motor oil, gear oil or hydraulic oil, turbine oil,
- the regeneration process of the invention essentially aims at eliminating light components, such as petrol, diesel and water, but does not allow components as heavy as the oils themselves to be eliminated. - same but having different physical properties. It could be, for example, fuel whose elimination or treatment could only be obtained by a complete refining process. Excessive chlorine content in the mixtures could lead to premature wear of the installation.
- Chlor Test which makes it possible to detect the presence of chlorides.
- a copper wire dipped in used oil is presented to the flame.
- a greenish flame indicates the presence of chlorides.
- the "Drop Test” detects the presence of fuel. A drop of oil is deposited on a chromatographic paper. A concentric spot with a yellowish halo indicates the presence of fuel.
- the "Fat Test” can detect the presence of fatty acids in oils. 2 ml of used oil is heated in the presence of a soda tablet: when the oil freezes, after cooling, this means that fatty acids are present. The waste oils collected 1 having successfully undergone these various tests are combined in a tank 2.
- Preheating means 3 bring the oils taken from the tank 2 to a temperature between 120 and 250 “C and preferably between 140 and 160" C.
- a base stored elsewhere in a tank 4 is supplied and mixed by means 5 with the preheated waste oil.
- a quantity of pure base of between 1 and 3% by mass is added to the used oils.
- This rate can advantageously be specified according to the quality of the used oils and the nature of the base used.
- the base used is a strong base, preferably sodium or potassium hydroxide.
- a strong base preferably sodium or potassium hydroxide.
- Used oils brought to a high temperature, added with a strong base, feed a unit 6 for the extraction of water and light hydrocarbons by flash (flash).
- flash the evaporation of water is produced by the sudden expansion of the mixture in a balloon.
- Water and light hydrocarbons are extracted and the remaining mixture is directed to a gas oil extraction unit (stripping). This elimination is carried out by distillation in a column.
- the gas oil 9 is then evacuated and the remaining mixture is led to a distillation column 10 allowing the fractionation of the mixture into lubricating base oil sections and the separation of the residue where all the impurities are concentrated.
- Base oils can be separated at different levels depending on the number of cuts desired. Good results have been obtained by separating, on the one hand, a base oil of 150 Neutral 11 and a base oil of 400 to 500 Neutral 12.
- the distillation column 10 is a traditional vacuum column which allows the dissociation and extraction of the residues, which are directed to an accumulation flask 14.
- the residues 15 are then removed and are capable of being used, for example, as tar or bitumen for the construction of roads. They can also be used as fuels.
- the vacuum distillation column 10 is preferably associated with a column bottom exhaustion evaporator 13 making it possible to improve its efficiency.
- Part of the energy required to raise the temperature of the used oils before adding the pure base preferably comes from the energy recovery carried out on the lubricating base oil cups 11, 12 of the outlet. of column 10.
- the used oils are advantageously filtered during their recovery and when they leave the storage tank 2, so as to remove the solid particles which they may contain.
- the process and the installation of the invention therefore make it possible, from used oils, to obtain base oils of various reusable qualities, usable residues, water, light hydrocarbons and gas oil.
- This process provides a minimum recovery rate of 90%. This rate is the mass ratio of quantities of oils recovered by this industrial process, compared to that of oils recovered in the laboratory, under optimum conditions independent of any economic consideration.
- the elimination of waste is carried out by a centrifuge device.
- the preferred embodiment uses the vacuum distillation column associated with a column bottom exhaust evaporator. It is thus possible to obtain an excellent recovery rate in terms of lubricating base oil, to reduce investment and operating costs compared to other known regeneration processes, to obtain regenerated oils as efficient as new base oils and to remove from them almost all of the metals.
- the installation of the invention can be implemented easily under the best conditions of reliability.
- Yield represents their yield (Mass ratio of the quantity recovered compared to the initial quantity of used oil to be regenerated).
- T.A.N. represents their acidity (acid number content).
- VIS 40 * C represents their viscosity at 40 * C expressed in centistocks.
- Color is expressed relative to standard reference colors. The lower the numerical value indicated, the better the color and appearance is a qualitative indication.
- Ba represents barium, Ca calcium, Pb lead, Zn zinc, P phosphorus, Cr chromium, Fe iron and Si silicon.
- Comparison of table c) with table d) shows the superior quality of the base oil cuts obtained according to the invention.
- the metal contents in the oils recovered are much lower and the yield is greater.
- all of the cups are easily reusable.
