5 TPD Waste Oil to Diesel Recycling Plant – Continuous-Process System for Used Lubricant Recovery

Waste Lubricant To Base Oil Machine

This plant processes up to 5 metric tons per day of waste lubricating oil or used engine oil into high-quality diesel fuel meeting national standards (e.g., GB 252), with a yield of over 85%. Featuring molecular distillation and catalytic refining, the system includes integrated modules for automatic temperature control, vacuum dehydration, acid-base neutralization, and exhaust gas treatment. Designed for small-to-medium recyclers and hazardous waste processors, it offers reliable operation, environmental compliance, and rapid ROI.
