Do DOING Waste Oil Distillation Plants Operate Continuously?

Industry News / Chat on line / Give me a price / July 15, 2026

Henan DOING waste oil distillation plants are batch-operated rather than fully continuous. With the optional rapid-heating system, plants with capacities of 5 tons per day and above can complete one full batch per day. This design delivers an efficient and economical solution for recycling waste engine oil, used lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and pyrolysis oil into high-quality diesel and asphalt.

Why Choose a Batch Waste Oil Distillation Plant?

Waste oils from different sources vary in composition, moisture, and impurities. The batch process gives operators greater flexibility to fine-tune conditions for each batch, delivering consistent results without the complexity of continuous running. Main advantages include:

  • Greater flexibility for processing different waste oils

  • Lower initial investment

  • Simple operation and maintenance with intuitive controls

  • Precise batch-by-batch control for stable product quality

  • Highly suitable for small and medium-sized projects that prioritize worry-free management

How the Batch Waste Oil Distillation Plant Works

Waste oil is heated in the distillation reactor. Light oil vapors separate from heavier components, then condense and refine into diesel. The remaining residue is conveniently discharged as asphalt from the bottom of the vertical reactor.

Flexible Refining Routes

DOING offers two refining methods to suit different quality requirements and budgets. The table below compares the two options, with special focus on automation degree:

AspectOption 1: Solid Catalyst RefiningOption 2: Traditional Acid-Alkali Refining
ProcessOil vapors pass through a solid catalyst tower before condensationOil vapors condensed directly, then refined with acid and alkali
Automation DegreeHigher – automated catalyst tower treatment, minimal manual steps, no chemical handlingLower – requires extra acid-alkali washing and neutralization steps
Key Advantages• Higher processing efficiency
• Higher diesel quality & stability• No acid-alkali chemicals needed 
• Lower equipment investment• Mature & proven technology• Suitable for budget-sensitive projects
Best ForHigh-quality output with worry-free, automated operationProjects prioritizing lower initial cost

Key Features of DOING Waste Oil Distillation Plant

1.Optional rapid-heating system for one batch per day (1, 5, 7, 10, 14 TPD and above)

2.Vertical reactor for convenient hot asphalt discharge

3.Flexible refining routes with higher automation options (solid catalyst route) for simpler, more worry-free operation

4.Customizable plant configuration based on feedstock and production capacity

5.User-friendly controls that make daily operation simple and precise

Products Produced

The plant produces two valuable outputs:

1. High-quality non-standard diesel, which has a calorific value of approximately 44.57 MJ/kg and is primarily used for generators, boilers, and heavy machinery; suitable for industrial fuel applications or further refining

2. Asphalt, widely used in road construction, waterproofing materials, and other industrial applications

Both products help improve the economic value of waste oil recycling. Overall, the gross profit margin for each ton of waste oil recycling and distillation process is approximately US$261 to US$369.
