CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The term "used oil" refers to any petroleum-based, cooking oil or synthetic oil
that has been used. Our motorcycles, cars, generator, cooking and a variety of other
machines all work on oil. However, impurities such as gravel, metal scrapings, water,
or chemicals may combine with the oil during regular use, causing the oil to lose its
effectiveness over time. To do the job properly, this used oil must eventually be
But first, let us discuss what the use of oil for our daily lives is. Our engine,
generator, deep fry oil and a variety of other equipment all work on oil. However,
after oil has been used, it must be correctly disposed of to avoid contamination of the
used oil is becoming the preferred method of disposal. If you're one of the many
people who switch their own oil, you'll need to know how to properly dispose of the
After all, one million gallons of fresh water — a year's supply for 50 citizens
— may be contaminated by used oil from a single oil shift. Keep the following key
points in mind when working with spent oil: Using motor oil is insoluble, has a long
shelf life, and can contain hazardous chemicals and heavy metals. It takes a long time

neighbours, the Philippines is a net energy importer. Oil, natural gas, and coal are all
produced in the region. A large amount of energy supply comes from geothermal,
hydropower, and other renewable sources. In 2019, the Philippines consumed nearly
1.9 quadrillion British thermal units of primary oil (Btu). Petroleum and other liquids
accounted for 45 percent of gross primary energy use, followed by coal (36 percent),
(7 percent).
Used oils from vehicles cooking, motorcycles, and, such as engine lubrication

In iron and steel manufacturing, a furnace is a process that heats and melts
metal ore to dissolve gangue. The heat energy used to power a furnace may come
After seeing an old post on the internet about a homemade heating stove that
burned waste motor oil, we became intrigued. We consider recycling, course material,
and cost-cutting. So, if I could create a metal furnace that ran on free fuel, which
would be fantastic.
Leverage
According to our research, used oil is a loss if you don't know how you're
doing. Engine lubrication oil, cooking oil, hydraulic fluids, and gear oils used in
automobiles and motorcycles will pollute the atmosphere if they are not properly
disposed of. Local waste collection authorities or car repair shops must recycle or
properly dispose of used gasoline. Oil filters that have been used face a related waste
The below are only a few of the many reasons to reuse and recycle used oil:
Using oil is recycled to avoid polluting soil and water. Motor oil does not rust out; it
just becomes dusty, so recycling it helps to save a vital resource. A gallon of re-
refined base stock needs less energy than a gallon of crude oil base stock. One gallon
of spent fuel oil yields 2.5 quarts of lubricating oil, which is equal to 42 gallons of
crude oil.
Oil mining and drilling have the ability to destroy ecosystems on land and in
the sea. New developments have significantly decreased the number and scale of
"footprints," or areas disturbed by drilling. 2 Oil deposits can be found with fewer
wells due to satellites, global positioning systems, remote sensing equipment, and 3-D
and 4-D seismic technology. A single well will now extract oil from a much larger

The heating process starts with pouring kerosene on the furnace, letting
the blower turn on, until it reaches the peak color or right temperature, then
turning the valve open with used oil for the fuel, which will do it for the
research we make. Our product benefits people not only in terms of the fuel or
energy they use, but also in terms of the quality of the product. Foresee the

and the volume of rock drilled out. It goes with a notation that the cost of
developing a gas or an oil well will reduce when less rock is extracted.

INTRODUCTION
This study will explore on how waste used oil can be used as fuel for melting
metals using improvised furnace. The main objective of this chapter is to analyse and
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
This study will be discussing the existence of lubricating oil waste which is
produced from industrial machinery and motor vehicle in huge volume. This will
demonstrate the use of lubricating oil waste as an alternative fuel for metal melting. In
fact, oil waste as a fuel can reduce the consumption of biodiesel fuel. In this study, we
also make a burner that will be used in melting. The design of the burner is easily
constructed and also inexpensive. There will be some advantages that this research
has. Atomizing process can be produced from mixing of oil wasted fuel and the air
pressure, which is flown constantly by the blower into the burner to obtain a stable
flame for metal melting; Waste oil fuel has a high calorific value, so that it can be
used as an alternative fuel for metal melting; Used oil is exactly what its name
implies: any petroleum-based or synthetic oil that has been used. Oil keeps our cars,
lawnmowers, and many other machines running smoothly. However, during normal
use, impurities such as dirt, metal scrapings, water, or chemicals, can get mixed in
with the oil, so that in time, the oil can no longer perform well. Some of the many
reasons to reuse and recycle used oil are it keeps from polluting soil and water. Motor
oil does not wear out—it just gets dirty—so recycling it saves a valuable resource.
And less energy is required to produce a gallon of re-refined base stock than a base
stock from crude oil. Used oil can be re-refined into lubricants, processed into fuel
oils, and used as raw materials for the refining and petrochemical industries.
Additionally, used oil filters contain reusable scrap metal, which steel producers can
` A lot of people are against waste oil as a fuel and assume it always burns with
a smoky, dirty flame. This is only true if your burner design is not accurate. In 2003,
researcher took upon himself to begin perfecting homemade waste oil combustion
technology. He was just one of the researchers that made proof of how used oil was
very important to recycle. He was convinced that for anyone wanting to melt large
batches of any metal at one time or melt iron, except for iron in a cupola, oil is by far
the most economical fuel. Waste oil burners could become the majority in hobby
foundries in the future. The burners are dedicated to become more compact while the
ease of use and efficiency continues to increase. And the fuel is also free.
RELATED STUDIES

warmth and cooking. In addition to use as a building material, wood remained the
chief global fuel for centuries. The invention of the first modern steam engine, at the

scale of industrialization. A half-ton of coal produced four times as much energy as
the same amount of wood and was cheaper to produce and, despite its bulk, easier to
distribute. Coal-fired steam locomotives dramatically reduced the time and cost of

the 20th century, environmental concerns and new technologies led another energy
In this study, we used a burner for burning oil waste. The burner was the used
for the melting process. Metals can also be re-melted for some other purposes. The
designing burner used the oil waste and converted this waste into a gas phase that
serves as the fuel. This type of burner used heating from the fire to vaporize and fuel
continuously. The way burner work is by heating the fuel that is flowed to the burner.
The fuel vapour that is formed then is sprayed by the blower together with waste oil
so that is blended in the air and burned to form the flame to melt the metal.
In daily life it is widely used for engine lubricants so that it will reduce
petroleum reserves which will be exhausted in the next 40-50 years. The results of the
use of engine lubricants will produce oil wastes, which is one of the problems that
needs to be solved by reducing or recycling oil waste. The development of oil waste

oil was not properly managed and it is thrown and disposes directly to the

results and it can be used again and considered for fuel synthesis (Nurdin et al. 2015;
Based on the rationalization, this study focused on making burners with simple
construction, which can be easily moved, and the manufacturing costs are relatively
low. Burners are simply designed, but they have great work effectiveness so that

people will no longer buy some expensive burners for melting their metals.

METHODS and MATERIALS

transported by blowers, and improvised oil. Our research is tailored to the machine
used oil at your local gas station, since a quarter gallon of used oil is very reasonably
priced. The apparatus includes: a used or empty metal gas tank to store the used oil,
an empty gas tank for the metal furnace, metal pipes, valves, plastic tubes, cement,
and a blower.
In principle, there are three main components: the furnace, the energy source,
and the blower. The first step is igniting the furnace using a gas flame. Once this is
made, opening up the valve for the energy source which is the used oil, and letting it
burn for a few seconds before opening the blower for cover of fire to sustain the fire
This makeshift device is the subject of Research and development, which aims
to solve some issues and make the job easier. The above diagram illustrates the
method of constructing an improvised metal furnace out of waste used gasoline. It can
be used to imagine how this method works and as a replacement for improvising. The
aim of this app is to assist you in resolving a few job related issues quickly. Other
studies have shown that an industrial vapour made from wood based diesel fuel a
Philippine calatrava blend with coal diesel oil (CDOM) can be used as a substitute
fuel.
We put some system to make this tool eco-friendly by melting the metal that
was made with waste oil. When a metal is burned, smoke is formed, rendering the
machine unsuitable boy machine that’s why we think an outcome like filtering the
smoke and how to put on to this tool. We attempted to add a stove to the top of the
furnace in order to increase its value. We simply reasoned that instead of using a
compressor, a blower driven by a car battery might be used. Because that improvise

from our own home to build it. If it is possible we thinking than maybe solar can help
to supply energy and be a resourceful device to our application. We were under the
impression that the source of energy was neither alternating current nor direct current.
To become more electronic-friendly and reduce the cost of using an AC power source.
From that we think more ideas to ads on and make some new things but our source is
only limited. That is why we look for things that fit our available provenance.
We find more stuff to improvise with and can afford to create with our budget.
This furnace using waste used oil, is built to make improvise from a craps material
and provide the output we need. We put some device to this application to make it
more productive and give it or create it a unique design to sell it on the market. By

easy mobility, and low production costs were the target. It conserves a precious
resource by recycling it. A gallon of re-refined base stock uses less energy than a
gallon of crude oil-based base stock. Improving the machine’s efficiency over the
typical metallurgy furnace available on the market. Products are built to last longer
and withstand more abrasive environments. We’d like to know how our proposed
research is going to be a lot easier and faster than buying a furnace off the shelf.

make the work normal. The designing burner took waste oil and turned it into a gas
process that can be used as heat. The heat from the fire was used to continually
vaporize and ignite this kind of burner. The reason a burner works is that it heats the
fuel that is fed into it. Used oil is any petroleum-based or synthetic oil that has been
used; surplus oil fuel has a high calorific value and can be used as a substitute fuel for
metal melting.
Oil is used in our engines, lawnmowers, and a host of other devices. During
daily use, however, impurities such as gravel, metal scrapings, water, or chemicals
can combine with the oil, causing the oil to lose its ability to operate effectively over
time. Oil can be used as a raw material in the mining and petrochemical industries, as
well as distilled into lubricants and refined into fuel oils. Oil filters can also include
