[Promoted] What happens to used motor oil in South Africa?
It’s essential to the smooth functioning of vehicles and machinery, but what happens to dirty used oil after an oil change?With over 12 million registered vehicles on the road in South Africa, over 3000 registered motor workshops, and with all of the heavy machinery in use in the industrial and mining sectors, massive volumes of used oil are being generated in South Africa every day.
“The alternative to recycling used oil is re-refining it – a process that that removes all impurities, both soluble and insoluble, and returns the oil back to a quality suitable for use in vehicles.” “The international trend of refining the majority of used oil back to base oil is exciting, but premature for a developing country like South Africa because of the prohibitive cost of the technology and developing the necessary processes.”Successful recycling of used oil depends on the generators of used oil working in cooperation with the collectors and processors.
Generators are cautioned not to use containers that previously held chemicals, such as cleaners, solvents, fuels, paint or bleach, and to keep their oil containers covered free of water.Large quantities of used oil from industries will be fetched by collectors. “You should ensure that your oil collected by a ROSE Foundation registered collector.
