Abstract:
The commercial production of waste plastic process oils (WPPO) presents a currently difficult-to-solve problem for product analysis for sale to the market. Many traditional analysis methods that the larger petroleum industry is comfortable and familiar with do not directly apply or fully capture the critical aspects of quality demanded for end users, whether as an intermediate product for further processing into refined products or as an end use product. Detailed within is a summary of Brightmark’s experiences selling WPPO into the market, along with a discussion of helpful goals for future industry improvements to WPPO analysis.
