Welcome to Oil Clean Services new home page. We specialise in cleaning/reclamation/rejuvenation of oils/fluids and also related products and services. Thereby extending fluid life, reducing waste and the cost of replacement, and helping the environment.We can reduce your expenditure on fluids by up to 50%, in a large company that can mean millions of dollars.
Most of the fluids we treat are batch processesed at our factory and returned to the customer for reuse. We do not collect fluids for waste disposal or recycling but offer a service whereby we assess the suitability of the fluids for treatment and reuse. (The only exception is hydraulic oil that has'nt been mixed).
Please note the important difference between recycling and reclamation. Oil recycling is a general term that typically involves changing a fluids properties ready for use as something totally different i.e. engine oil-fuel oil. Most oils end up as fuel oil and are burnt. Reclamation involves one or more of the following processes: filtering, dehydrating, washing, chemical treatment, additive spiking. Various equipment is used such as a centrifuge, vacuum dehydrator and various types of filters.
Examples of oils that can be successfully treated: Hydraulic oils, lube oils, compressor oil, thermal oil, diesel, synthetic fluids, quench oil, transmission oil, mould oil, food grade oil, water glycols, EP gear oils, engine oils. Other fluids: Solvents, cleaning fluids.
A few of the fluids listed are currently involved in trials or the processing equipment at prototype stage. Oil Clean Services apply the professional approach of research/prototype/trials/full scale to find the most effective method of treatment. We utilise several oil laboratories, chemists and engineers during these projects. Please contact us if you have a challenge for us. Don't assume it can not be done!
Two of the most common fallacies are that 3um or lower filters remove additives and that we should dump oil after x no hours or when it's dirty or contaminated. This is far from reality. In extremely rare cases there may be E.P. additives in heavy gear oils but additive removal is prevented by our risk assessment and due diligence policies. In 99% of cases it's totally safe to treat fluids with dirt or water in them and reuse them.
The products we design and manufacture are Australian made and we do not hold filter distributorships as they can be restrictive and inflexible. We are totally independent allowing us to give independent evaluations and more flexibility on special projects.
In most cases we can provide fast estimates to manufacture equipment or to treat the oil. This can then be followed up with a full proposal.
We will be adding more photos soon!.
