Waste Oil Collection in Australia by Benzoil

• Waste oil collection is one of the key
  services offered by Benzoil.  With oil processing
  capabilities located in Brisbane, Sydney and
  Melbourne we can collect in all eastern states,
  and with the support of an extensive transport
  network we can facilitate collections as far
  north as the country extends.

• Metropolitan areas generally contain the
  highest density of waste oil generators from
  industries including electro-intensive,
  manufacturing, oil chemical, automotive and
  utilities.  Regional areas are more likely to be
  home to heavy industries like mining and major
  processing.  The collection of waste oil
  generated by these businesses is an essential
  requirement in their day to day running.

• Volumes of waste oil that we collect may be
  as little as one drum to as much as a tanker
  load.  Different size vehicles are utilized
  depending on the volume and whether the waste oil
  for collection is presented in packages (drums,
  IBCs, etc.) or is bulk (storage tank).

• Our preference is always for larger volumes
  and depending on the location for the collection,
  a minimum volume may be indicated with volumes
  falling below this incurring a nominal fee. With
  multiple smaller volumes positioned around cities
  a milk-run style collection is often arranged
  to service the needs businesses who generate
  volumes of waste oil less than 1,000L.

• The quality of what is collected can vary
  substantially.  If there are known to be any
  particular contaminants in waste oil for
  collection, then it is helpful to us if this can
  be disclosed in advance.  Contaminants may be
  intentional or unintentional and include such
  substances as water, sludge, glycol, other
  coolants, straight additives, grid and sand, PPE,
  battery acid.

• Depending on the nature of the industry where
  the waste oil is generated, any co-existing
  chemicals or products in use there may end up
  unintentionally in the waste oil stream.  The
  extent to which this is true mostly comes down to
  basic housekeeping and site practices. 
  Regardless of the contaminants in waste streams
  our specialised processing technologies can
  separate oil from all else and recover the value
  of oil.

• With our complementary business unit also
  offering new oil supply, when it comes to
  hydrocarbon management Benzoil can provide the
  closed loop of waste oil removal and resupply of
  new product.  When plant and equipment is at the
  end of its operating life, the lubricating oil
  may be drained as a final step, but if an oil
  recharge or retrofill or even top-up is needed
  then Benzoil can supply the expertise and oil
  products to complete the project.

• Typical oils that may be replaced in this way
  include transformer oil, hydraulic oil,
  compressor oil, and oil used in closed cooling
  circuits.  Because we are able to manage waste
  out and new product in, our one-stop offer will
  be superior.
