BRITISH STILL AND FILTER UNIT FOR RECLAIMING USED OILS SUPPLIED TO FOREIGN NAVY

AN interesting Still and Filter Unit for reclaiming used Lubricating Oil has just been completed for a foreign navy by Lubex Oil Refiners, 210 Regent Street, London, W.1. This plant has been designed to re‐refine 200 gallons of used oil per eight hours and at the same time to extract diesel fuel diluent. It is claimed that when used at this rate it will repay its cost in less than a year, and that the re‐refined oil will be physically and chemically equal to new. A plant used for more than 8 hours per day would very quickly repay its initial cost.
