Re-refining and reusing lubricant oils is both environmentally friendly and economical due to increasing costs of both oil and disposal. Vacuum distillation will ensure a producer can consistently re-refine used lubricant oils to their original condition with minimal degradation. Since the distillation occurs under high vacuum in our short path evaporator, the biodiesel product is exposed to high...
