Recycling oil
Requirements and services for recycling
- Minimum quantity for PFPE oils from 1 litre
- Only uncontaminated oils from the production process are accepted - No other waste or oils with different chemistry
- Contaminated oils must be sent to us in UN containers with a list of the contents, if known. We can supply the corresponding UN containers if desired
- All PFPE oils from vacuum pumps are regenerated
- Duration approx. 4 weeks after delivery
- The yield is 95-100 % of the supplied quantity depending on the degree of contamination and oxidation for PFPE oils
- The regenerated oil can optionally be mixed with fresh oil
Recycled oils have the same value as fresh oils in terms of quality and performance. The recycling service includes analytical tests (FFT infra-red spectroscopy; determination of viscosity and the specific weight; checking the moisture content).
In addition, the achievable ultimate total in a two-level mechanical vacuum pump is determined and documented. Each part of the recycled oil is sent to the customer with an analysis certificate.
