Oil Recovery Overview

Unique Approach

PESCO-BEAM has a unique approach to Oil Recycling combining many aspects that no other company in the world duplicates.

• Our Systems are small & medium scale and modular
• They are less expensive than most other types
• Our multistage systems can deal with a large variety of feed oils

Our systems are controlled by modern PC/PLC control systems and can function completely automatically. They can also be monitored from our PESCO-BEAM offices.

Used oil can be re-refined over and over again and is subject to the same stringent refining, compounding and performance standards as virgin oil. In the USA, it carries the API Service Symbol “donut”.

Did You Know?

It is easier and cheaper to recycle used oil than to make new oil from crude. One gallon of used oil can produce the same amount of motor oil as 42 gallons of crude oil – while requiring about a third of energy.

75 of the all the used motor oil in 1997 (750 million gallons) that found its way to processors for treatment was recycled and marketed to:

• 43 asphalt plants
• 14% industrial boiler fuel
• 12% utility boilers
• 12% steel mills
• 5% cement / lime kilns
• 5% marine boilers (tankers or bunker fuel)
• 5% other
• 4% pulp and paper mills
• 1% commercial boilers
• 14% of the used oil collected is turned over to re-refiners who return used oil to its original virgin oil state.
