Used Contaminated Oil (UCO) to Energy

Used Contaminated Oil (UCO) is now one of the huge worldwide concerns, according to the report of West Bend dated 01/09/2019 approximately 1.3 billion gallons of contaminated used oil are generated from the crankcases of different automobiles trucks, Engine oil from Ships, used cooking oil , grease, Lubricating oil , Bunker oil, Hydraulic fluids, Transmission fluids and petrochemical refineries etc. and approximately 200 million gallons of this oil is not properly disposed of. The University of Virginia (UVA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) established a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for used oil disposal, unfortunately this SOP is not strictly followed. The study said that oils that enter storm drains and waterways are a serious environmental hazard. One gallon of used oil can pollute 1,000,000 gallons of fresh water permanently if not removed. The guideline passed by the International Marine Organization (IMO), pro- hibits burning their used engine oil, the United States of America stopped using bunker oil, other countries like Mexico, Turkey, Philippines, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Australia , Japan and more other countries worldwide are having issues in disposing of these contaminated oils. Dumping fee according to Texas State University is about $1.00/gallon of contaminated used oil.

Contaminated Engine Oil and Municipal Solid Waste as Fuel to generate energy. MaxiEnergy developed the first of it's kind Mix-Fuel of Solid Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Contaminated oil to generate renewable energy. Using mixed fuel increases the generation capacity of the power plant due to the consistent temperature inside the furnace that will result in a higher percentage of attaining the desired target Energy generation.

Emission Control:

Flue gas emission from the mixed-fuel can be treated by injecting solbents into the thermal combustion pro- cess that will comply with the stringent emission limits prescribed by the host Country and or State.
