Comprehensive Overview

Used lubricating oil, transformer oil, hydraulic fluid, and waste fuel oils generated from DG sets and automotive machinery are categorized as hazardous waste under Schedule V of the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules 2016. Our laboratory tests flash point, PCB content, heavy metals, and sediment levels to verify suitability for re-refining or high-temperature incinerator co-processing.

Applicable Regulatory Standards & Testing Protocols

✓ Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 ✓ IS 1448 (Methods of Sampling and Test for Petroleum & Products) ✓ ASTM Standards for Used Lube Oils

Analyzed Parameters & Test Methods

Flash Point (°C Cleveland Open Cup / Pensky Martens)

Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C & 100°C (cSt)

Water Content (%) & Sediment Concentration (%)

Total Halogens & Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs in PPM)

Heavy Metals: Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Nickel

Total Acid Number (TAN in mg KOH/g)

Sample Intake & Turnaround Protocol

1 Liter Representative Oil Sample in Air-tight Glass Container | Turnaround Time: 3 - 5 Working Days

Key Scope & Execution Deliverables

Schedule V compliance certificate required for auctioning oil to authorized recyclers

Dielectric strength and moisture breakdown testing for transformer oils

Wear metal profiling for machinery condition monitoring

Calorific value determination for hazardous waste boiler co-processing

Key Business & Regulatory Benefits

Ensures 100% legal compliance when selling used oil to CPCB registered re-refiners

Prevents engine wear and transformer insulation failure
