The processing capabilities include the following: wipe film evaporation treatment, a unique form of vacuum distillation used to remove impurities from the waste oil and thereby enhancing the quality; atmospheric distillation of oily waste waters, by which oil is separated from water and other impurities are removed; and fractional distillation, whereby products are distilled by multiple cuts according to their various boiling points.
In addition, with the acquisition of three more fractional distillation units, Lebermuth can fractionate and distill oils more efficiently, Mr.
