Abstract
This report supplements the findings of a 1971 study conducted by the Maryland Environmental Service and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which concluded that the discharge of waste oils to state waters produced a problem within the state of Maryland. Using questionnaires and interviews, it was estimated that 18.5 million gallons of waste oils were generated in Maryland in 1972. Mathematical models determined the most effective collection systems and economics for the waste oil program. Preliminary designs were developed for different scales of process plants. Heavy emphasis was placed on protecting the environment. Plant costs, management, legislative and regulatory approaches to the waste oil problem were delineated. A waste oil recovery and reuse program can be initiated immediately using existing technology, collection and storage resources. Because of a need to consider all sources of waste oils, the program requires subsidization at lower plant throughputs.
