FOCUS ON...
Recovery OF CLEAR OILS,
35 years of proven expertise

Processed and recovered at the CHIMIREC PPM (37)
and CHIMIREC Dugny (93) sites, the clear oils come
from hydraulic systems and turbines. These are oils
that have not been burnt in a process. They are highly
polluting and therefore represent a danger to the envi-
ronment.

How are these oils recovered?
Clear waste oils are recycled using a vacuum filtration
and dehydration process. This treatment results in a
new oil which can be used as formwork oil, chain oil or
for certain other lubrication activities.

Treatment capacity per year:
10,000 tonnes of clear oils
regenerated.
Recovery rate: 95%
