| Abstract |
Product quality, waste reduction, and economic issues were evaluated for a technology designed to recycle metalworking fluids. Emulsion-type fluids were tested at two sites and a synthetic fluid was tested at a third site. The specific recycling unit evaluated is based on the technology of filtration, pasteurization, and centrifugation. This recycling unit is mounted on a truck which goes from site to site, performing the recycling at each customer location. The customer is charged a fixed fee for the service. Metalworking fluid recycling was found to have good potential as a means of waste reduction and cost savings. The product quality achieved by this unit was evaluated by conducting performance tests and by chemical characterization of the spent, recycled and virgin fluids. Performance tests included tests for corrosion resistance, emulsion stability, foaming resistance lubricity and biological resistance. |
