Techenomics International has been commissioned to recycle 1,000,000 litres of waste oil from an Indonesian Coal Mine where a savings of over $500,000 per annum are anticipated.
The waste oil will be stored in a feed tank to wait treatment; the product will then be collected in a secondary tank after passing through a filtration unit that will remove free water and major contaminants. The blasting oil will be mixed at a ratio of 35% waste oil to 65% fuel oil. The waste oil will then be pumped through a meter from the Blasting Oil Tank into the ANFO truck for use in the blasting process.
Samples of all “Blasting Oil” will be analysed and the product certified before being used for blasting. The certification will cover water content, viscosity and ISO cleanliness; all results will be reported on before dispensing into the ANFO truck.
Techenomics International will supply a waste / blasting oil skid for removal of water to less than 1% and contaminants to less than ISO cleanliness of 20/18.
The skid will be based on the same dimensions as a sea container with twist locks for ease of transporting.
This will require the services of a full time technician to receive the waste oil and treat the oil through a filtration process, carry out the used oil analysis for viscosity, water content, ISO cleanliness and dispense into the ANFO truck.
- The recycled oil will be used in the blasting process and replace fuel oil in the blasting process using ANFO.
- Savings of over $500,000 were achieved.
