Why Refining from Pollutants and Oil Residues Offers Significant Advantages

Why Refining from Pollutants and Oil Residues Offers Significant Advantages

The remarkable advantages of refining from pollutants and oil residues stem from its dual value in solving solid waste pollution and achieving resource recycling, delivering both environmental and economic benefits. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

I. Environmental Benefits: Turning Waste into Resources and Reducing Pollution

Solving the Solid Waste Disposal Dilemma

If hazardous wastes like oil residues and sludge are directly landfilled or incinerated, they contaminate soil, groundwater, and release toxic gases. The refining process converts them into usable products such as fuel oil and carbon black, drastically reducing solid waste emissions and easing environmental pressure.

Cutting Pollutant Emissions

Professional refining equipment (e.g., Lvfilter’s units) is equipped with desulfurization, denitrification, and exhaust gas purification systems. Tail gas emissions meet the Emission Standard of Pollutants for Petroleum Refining Industry, avoiding secondary pollution from improper hazardous waste disposal.

II. Economic Benefits: Low Cost, High Output

Ultra-Low Raw Material Costs

Oil residues and sludge, as industrial waste, are obtained at a fraction of the cost of crude oil. In some cases, enterprises can even receive subsidies for handling hazardous waste, further reducing costs.

High-Value Products

The produced fuel oil can directly replace some fossil energy sources, while by-products like carbon black and steel wire can be recycled and resold, creating a stable profit chain. This model also demonstrates stronger resilience against oil price fluctuations.

III. Policy and Social Value

Aligning with Carbon Neutrality Goals

This process falls under resource recycling, aligning with national “pollution reduction and carbon reduction” policies. Projects can enjoy tax incentives and subsidies, making environmental impact assessments easier to pass.

Supporting Corporate Green Transformation

For enterprises generating oil residues, recycling hazardous waste through refining not only cuts disposal costs but also enhances their green image, meeting ESG evaluation requirements.

IV. Technological Upgrades: High Equipment Maturity

With advancements in catalytic cracking and vacuum distillation technologies, the oil yield of refining equipment has increased to around 90%, and oil quality meets national fuel oil standards. Skid-mounted equipment features high modularity, with short installation cycles and small footprints, further improving project feasibility and advantages.
