The volume of oil required to be purchased is defined by the needs of the company or the facility. Normally, a large amount of oil is purchased wholesale, while a smaller amount needed for the replacement of oil fir one or several machines, is usually purchased retail.
Based on price, it would seem that wholesale purchases are better for your company financially. The price of a large batch of oil per liter purchased wholesale will be lower than purchasing smaller retail volumes pre liter.
There are however, problems with large amounts of oil. Wholesale volumes of oil must be stored somewhere. Industrial oil is obviously sensitive to various contaminants such as water, particulate matter and other unwanted contaminants. Apart from allotting storage facilities, the oil also requires constant monitoring of purity and and water content.
Purity of industrial oil purchased wholesale or in smaller retail batches can be ensured by two methods:
- Prevention of contamination in storage; and
- Purification of contaminated oil.
Both include a whole range of measures. As stated above, purity of industrial oil can be ensured by prevention or purification, but the best results are achieved by combining the two. This also allows savings of money since preventive measures require quite less investment than actual purification and regeneration.
Prevention alone however, cannot maintain industrial oil’s purity in the long run. It requires a complex approach to transportation and storage using the following equipment:
- air-tight tanks;
- equipment made from non-corroding materials;
- correct temperature in storage and transportation;
- and the use of inert gases to fill gas space.
This increases the cost of prevention. The goal therefore, is to reduce the amount of contaminants as much as possible in the oil going to purification devices, which finalize the required purity of the product.
The following systems from GlobeCore GmbH are recommended for the purification and regeneration of industrial oil:
● Mobile oil unit CММ-1.7 CM;
● Mobile oil unit CММ-3.5 CM;
● Mobile oil unit CММ-5 CM;
● Filter cart CFU-0.8М;
● Filter cart CFU-1.7М, (CFU-4).
