oil is heated to remove water and small organic mole- <br /> cules. <br /> Facility Description <br /> Oil recycling facilities are quite similar in appearance to small <br /> refineries or petrochemical plants. Like a refinery, the oil recy- <br /> cling facility has a number of storage tanks, and pipeline and distil - <br /> lation towers. Steam is occasionally vented from distillation equip- <br /> ment. <br /> The typical o fl recycling facility could be sited on between 1 and <br /> 10 acres. Approximately 15 to 60 employees would be needed to staff <br /> the facility. The size of waste throughput and resulting truck or <br /> rail traffic would be roughly equivalent to that found at a typical <br /> waste transfer and storage facility. <br /> Incoming liquid hazardous wastes containing waste oil would be ana- <br /> lyzed at an on-site laboratory to identify which waste oils could be <br /> recycled. Decisions are made regarding- those components which will be <br /> reclaimed, incinerated, or converted to usable or stable residues. <br /> Oils are separated and clarified, respectively, by physical processes <br /> such as distillation/condensation and filtration. The purified oils <br /> are stored, recycled, blended into fuel , or shipped out as industrial <br /> raw materials. Residues or sludges from this facility are shipped out <br /> as industrial raw materials. Residues or sludges from this facility <br /> are shipped to an incinerator, incinerated, extracted for metals, or <br /> "stabilized" prior to land disposal . <br /> Protective features at such a facility include good seals at flanges, <br /> valves, and fittings. These are necessary to prevent emissions of <br /> harmful vapors. Possible leaks or spills would be contained by dikes, <br /> drains, and basins. Detectors, alarms, and process controls would <br /> monitor air emissions and water effluents. An emergency response plan <br /> is required for the facility, as it is for all hazardous waste <br /> R v. 1 11/08/88 <br /> PJ9 9390502D.00D 11-13 e <br />
