ENGINE COOLANTS
Engine coolant recycling methods include (1) power flushing ithe radiator and then restoring the coolant
to the vehicle, (2) collecting coolant for bulk recycling, (3) onsite servicing by a mobile unit which ,
restores and sells back the recycled coolant to the customer, or (4) shipping die coolant to a central
service center (the shipper must be prepared to bear the costs of clean-up should a spill occur). Some
suppliers of on-site engine coolant recycling equipment and their products are listed below. There are a
variety of processing methods whose costs and capacities vary greatly. Therefore, careful consideration
should be given to unit and operating cose information provided below so that equipment purchases can
be tailored to agency needs. Since no industry-wide standards exist for recycling equipment, the quality
of the recycled product should be the final determinant In making such determinations, several factors
should be considered.
Does the equipment have an acceptable "inhibitor balance" to prevent corrosion in customer vehicles?
What hazardous waste byproducts are produced as a result of the process? How can those byproducts be
safely disposed (and what is the additional cost of that disposal)? Assessing available equipment was
beyond the scope of this study. However, between 1990 and 1992, General Motors (GM) investigated
several anti-freeze recycling processing units for use in GM warranty work. Wayne Bradley, a senior
product engineer for GM STG, provided a list of six approved on-site machines (provided below) which
emerged from their analysis. His report can be obtained through SEA Papers at 412 776-4841, No.
921634 for $5. Also included are FPPF and Marubeni products since they can provide evidence of their
rigorous testing programs. GSA-listed High Tech products are also provided.
