Please provide some more details about the Lubricating Oil, such as - Specific Gravity, Viscosity, Grade, Volume to be re-refined per day, Oil Temerature, preffered process (Batch Type or continous).
After these data is provided, I suppose I may suggest a solution to it.

Dear Mr. jaidutt;
The used oil is used motor oil basically and maybe mixed with other type of oil such gear oils or hydraulic.
The used oil has the following typical properties:
Density: 0.9 kg/m3
Vis@40: 45 mm2/sec
Flash Point: >120 oC
Water Content: < 4%
In fact I am looking for an easy and simple way of treatment - either batch or continuous- so it can be used again or be sold as useable product.
The quantity to be recycled is around 20 m3/day.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Mr. Abbas,
For this kind of application we should use a (padded) cellulose based media (non FDA compliance). It comes in form of sheet (like a cardboard). The ideal Rating shall be 1200 to 1500 GSM (Grams Per Square Meter) for this application. These sheets can be arranged in a Plate & Frame Filter Press for Batch type Operation (Expensive) or in a Filter Housing for continous Operation (economical). These provide best results between 30 to 50 Deg Celcius only. If the storage Temperature is more than 50 Deg Celcius than a heat exchanger (may be with a pump) is advisable in the loop before the Gear Pump in the scheme below.
Scheme
Used OIl Storage Tank to Strainer to Gear Pump to Filter to Recycling Storage Tank to usage point to Used Oil Storage Tank
After passing through this media following gets eliminated from the Oil,
1. Carbon Fines.
2. Metallic Fines.
3. Other suspended matter.
4. Moisture shall be reduced down to 0.2% - 0.5%.
5. Organic Waste.
Filtered Oil shall have the following improved in it,
1. Transparency
2. Colour of oil (as new)
3. Lusture, etc.
Hence you can recycle his Oil minimum of 4 to 5 times.
Further if you require much More improvement in the recycled Oil Quality. This process can be divided into two halves,
A. Prefiltration with 1000 to 1200 GSM Padding
B. Postfiltration with 1800 to 2000 GSM Padding.
Scheme
Used OIl Storage Tank to Strainer to Gear Pump to Prefilter to Postfilter to Recycling Storage Tank to usage point to Used Oil Storage Tank.
This was the technique I had used myself at an automotive Industry for the same application.
Further If you require any assistance Please do let me know at jaidutt@gmail.com
With Warm Regards

Mr. Abbas, used oil density value looks like units of kg/l not kg/m3.

am planning of going into used oil recycling mainly for lube.oil production.i have come across many methods involved in doing the recycling one of which was my interest.solvent deasphalting with propane. propane deasphalting of used oil give a brighter feed stock that could be used for lube.oil production but this time around i want a solvent that can work the same or better than propane and could be safer to work with since propane is highly explosive and that involve the same or similar propane deasphalting process for which the solvent used in deasphalting can be recovered by simple distillation and condensation at lower temperatures
sir,with respect and trust,kindly help me out.i will be very much greatful to you if you can help me.
any information regarding the above topic is highly appreciated and welcome.
Thanks and regards
