Your oil may have more life left than you think
Restore qualifying industrial oil for reuse in its original application reducing new-oil purchases, waste volume and total fluid cost.
Oil Analysis • Filtration & Reclamation • System Cleaning • STLE-Certified Reliability Support
Oil reclamation is
not used-oil pickup.
DFS does not simply remove used oil for disposal or recycling into another product.
We restore qualifying industrial fluids so they can be returned to service in the same application.
Traditional Used-Oil Collection
- Removes oil from your facility
- Sends it elsewhere for disposal or secondary use
- Requires replacement with new oil
DFS Oil Reclamation
- Removes water, particulate and other contaminants
- Verifies the fluid is still suitable for service
- Returns qualifying oil to its original application
- Reduces new-oil purchases and waste
Before you replace your oil, find out whether it can be restored.
Industrial oil does not always need to be discarded because it contains water, dirt or other contaminants. When the fluid remains chemically viable, DFS may be able to restore it for continued use in the same application.
LEAKAGE OIL
Leakage oil that can be collected for evaluation and potential reuse
CONTAMINATED OIL
Oil contaminated by water, particles or sludge
LARGE-VOLUME SYSTEMS
Systems with significant oil replacement costs
RISING DISPOSAL COSTS
Operations facing increasing waste-oil disposal expenses
CHEMICALLY VIABLE OIL
Fluid that remains chemically suitable for continued service
NOT SURE?
We’ll evaluate your oil and recommend the best next step
From contaminated fluid back to usable oil
Collect
We help establish
a practical process
or collecting leakage oil
and other qualifying fluid
without introducing
additional contamination.
Process
Our Mobile Reclamation Units treat the oil onsite using a combination of:
- Centrifugation
- High-efficiency filtration
- Vacuum dehydration
These processes remove water, particulate and other contaminants that can shorten fluid and equipment life.
Verify
A sample from each processed batch is sent to an independent laboratory to confirm whether the oil remains suitable for continued use.
Return to service
Oil that meets the required standards can be returned to its original application instead of being replaced and discarded.
A reclamation program
built around your application
DFS can evaluate a wide range of conventional and
synthetic industrial fluids, including:
Turbine oils
Hydraulic oils
Quenching oils
Paper-machine oils
Fire-resistant fluids
Industrial gear oils
Metalworking and cutting oils
Other qualifying industrial lubricants
Not every fluid is a candidate for reclamation. DFS evaluates the oil, contamination and application before recommending the appropriate next step.
Get more use from the oil you already own
A well-managed reclamation program can help your operation:
LESS NEW OIL
Reclaim qualifying fluids
instead of replacing
them with new oil.
LOWER DISPOSAL COSTS
Reduce the amount
of used oil that
requires disposal.
LONGER FLUID LIFE
Keep qualifying lubricants
in service longer
through reclamation.
CLEANER OIL
Remove water, particles
and other contaminants
that affect performance.
LESS WASTE
Keep more usable oil
in service and reduce the
volume sent for disposal.
LOWER MAINTENANCE
Cleaner fluids help
support more reliable
equipment operation.
The result is a more cost-effective and environmentally responsible approach to managing industrial fluids.
