UNKNOWN BENEFITS OF USED VEHICULAR OIL

AUTHOR: YUSSIF AHMED
DATE: JULY 04, 2024

Oil is one of the most widely used commodities on the planet. Also one of the most common toxins in the environment. Recycling and reusing left over motor and vehicular oils is more environmentally friendly than throwing it away. They contaminate the environment if not recycled or disposed off appropriately. 

Waste oil can be refined into lubricants, converted into fuel oils and used as a raw material in the refining and petrol chemical industries. 

According to extensive laboratory research and field surveys, refined oil passes all necessary measures and in some cases, even surpasses pure crude oil. Because re-refining simply re-processes used oil into fresh, high quality lubricating oil, the same customers and businesses who use ordinary oil can also utilise it. Re-refined oil can be used by car maintenance facilities, automobile owners and other machinery maintenance operations that employ oil.

Also waste oils create an avenue for job opportunities. Companies that recycle waste oil for example will hire labourers for a variety of jobs. High-level scientists will be required to examine the oil products to ensure that they can develop valuable and simple to use products. 

It also provides alternative domestic uses. Recycled oil can be used to lubricate other parts of your house, your garage doors and help grease rusty locks. 

It also contributes to technological research. It can for example be utilised as a source of energy or vehicle fuel. Research and development of new engines or equipment that can utilise recycled oil must be used effectively and efficiently. 

As a result this study contributes to the advancement of technology that allows the reuse of waste oil while also benefitting the environment. Additional ways will also be identified to use waste oil as more companies that handle waste oils are established.

DRAINED SPENT OIL IN A BASIN TO BE POURED FOR SALE                                     AUTHOR: SARAH NAA MERLEY ATTOH Vehicular Oil, a synthetic lubricant used in automobile engines is one of the very dangerous sources of pollution. Once motor oil is drained from an engine, it is no longer clean because it has picked up materials, dirt particles, and other chemicals during engine operation over a said period. The emission of these chemicals into the atmosphere lead to environmental contamination and which adversely affect human lives and the ecosystem. As a result, The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Ironically, Automotive Engineers in Ghana, commonly known as "mechanics or fitters,...
