Waste Oil Recovery Facility
Project background
Nurov Environmental has been engaged to design and build a 5 TPD Waste Oil Recovery Facility at the Sustainable Facility and Eco-Park Centre in Teluk Kalong, Kemaman. This project plays a pivotal role in advancing Malaysia’s circular economy goals by converting scheduled oily waste streams (SW305– SW314) into high-value recovered fuel oil, reducing reliance on fossil resources while ensuring full compliance with environmental regulations.
The facility features a robust pre-treatment system incorporating a centrifugal separator for continuous three-way separation of oil, water, and sludge. This technology enhances feed quality for the pyrolysis process, which is supported by an advanced condensing system that maximizes oil recovery and recycles non-condensable gases to improve energy efficiency. Together, these systems ensure reliable performance even with highly variable waste oil compositions.
To safeguard environmental compliance, the plant integrates a wet scrubber-based air pollution control system, local exhaust ventilation with activated carbon filtration, and a Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) aligned with DOE Clean Air Regulations 2014. Designed to operate 7,920 hours per year, the facility is capable of treating waste oils with up to 50% water content, consistently producing recovered oil that meets the DOE Guidelines on Recovered Waste Oil (2010).
