RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and
Monitoring, Environmental Protection Agency, have
been grouped into five series. These five broad
categories were established to facilitate further
development and application of environmental
technology. Elimination of traditional grouping
was consciously planned to foster technology
transfer and a maximum interface in related
fields. The five series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
This report has been assigned to the ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY series. This series
describes research performed to develop and
demonstrate instrumentation, equipment and
methodology to repair or prevent environmental
degradation from point and non-point sources of
pollution. This work provides the new or improved
technology required for the control and treatment
of pollution sources to meet environmental quality
standards.

ABSTRACT
This report supplements the findings of a 1971 study conducted by the
Maryland Environmental Service and the Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene, which concluded that the discharge of waste oils to State
waters produced a problem within the State of Maryland. The report
recommended a comprehensive program of collection, storage, and re-
processing for pollution prevention and for resource recovery. The
program was guided by the premises that al1 categories of waste oils
generated within the State were to be managed, recovered, or disposed
of, that fuel oils would be the principal products produced, and that
current state-of-the-art technology would be used in the design of
the program elements.
Using questionnaires and interviews, it was estimated that 18.5 million
gallons of waste oils were generated in Maryland in 1972. Mathematical
models determined the most effective collection systems and economics
for the waste oil program. Preliminary designs were developed for
different scales of process plants. Heavy emphasis was placed on pro-
tecting the environment. Plant costs varied between $3 million for a
7.3 million gallon per year (mgy) plant, to $7.5 million for a 30 mgy
plant. Management, legislative and regulatory approaches to the waste
oil problem were also delineated.
A waste oil recovery and reuse program can be initiated immediately
using existing technology, collection and storage resources. Because
of a need to consider all sources of waste oils, the program requires
subsidization at lower plant throughputs. At the 30 mgy capacity,
the program economics can be self-sustaining.
This report was submitted in fulfillment of Grant Number S-800650
under the partial sponsorship of the Office of Research and Develop-
ment, Environmental Protection Agency. The work was completed as of
October 1973.

SECTION I
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Sources
1. The following are estimates for sources of waste oils generated
during 1972 in the given categories based on results of the
surveys:
Table 1. WASTE OIL SOURCES, 1972
Waste Crankcase Oils --- 7 mi 11 ion gallbns, annually '
Waste Industrial Oils 5 million gallons, annually
2.
3.
Waste Oil from Over-the-
Counter Sales -
Waste Variable Oils (Oil
Spills, Septic Tanks,
and Others) — --•
1 million gallons, annually
4 million gallons, annually
Waste Other Oil (Industrial
Solvents and Others) 1.5 million gallons, annually
Total Waste Oils 18.5 million gallons, annually
The categories are defined and discussed in the Report (Section IV)
The Waste Oil Survey indicated that 27.2 million gallons of lubri-
cating oils and 16.1 million gallons of automotive lubricants were
sold in the State of Maryland during 1972. The total of 43.3
million gallons is substantially larger than is indicated by data
available from the U. S. Bureau of the Census and the American
Petroleum Institute for oil sales in the State of Maryland, even
considering any reasonable rate of increase in sales over previous
years. Because of the comprehensive nature of the survey which
was conducted, estimates based on this survey are considered to
be realistic (Section IV).
The difference between totals of lubricant sales arrived at by
the survey and the data published by the U. S. Census Bureau and
the American Petroleum Institute may be due to the method of
crediting lubricant sales to the particular states. Maryland
obtains lubricating products from sources outside of the State.
The converse is probably also true: Some of those lubricant
materials accounted for as sales in the State of Maryland are
-------
probably partially utilized in other states. The significance
of this conclusion is that data available for oil sales should
be used with care in projecting waste oil volumes in other states
(Section IV).
4. The amount of waste oil currently being collected and either reused
as fuel, reprocessed, or disposed of lies between 6 and 9 million
gallons, annually. A significant portion of the collected oil,
however, is being reused as fuel or for dust control on roads with
little or no preprocessing (Section IV). The remaining amount is
improperly disposed of to the land, watercourses, or sewers, or is
being incinerated with other solid wastes or industrial wastes.
5. A problem does exist in the State of Maryland with regard to satis-
factory collection and disposal of all waste oils generated within
the State.
Col 1e c t ion a n d S t o r a g e
6. Between 18 and 22 tank trucks on a full-time utilization basis will
be required to operate a State-wide collection network for waste
oils. Based upon leasing trucks, the total cost for operating the
collection system is likely to be between $300,000 and $450,000,
annually, which represents between 1£ and 3<£ per gallon of waste
oil collected, depending upon the efficiency and effectiveness with
which the collection system is operated (Section V).
7. It appears that an adequate number of vehicles are available to
collect the waste oil generated within the State of Maryland. A
collection program can be implemented in the near future based on
the capabilities of existing haulers. Use of personnel and trucks
maintained by existing haulers will not require purchase or lease
of trucks or hiring of additional State personnel by the MES (Section
IV).
8. The collection system economics are less sensitive to plant location
in terms of annual costs than operating parameters including system
overhead, hourly labor wage rates, the rate of utilization of
vehicles, and the routes used by the vehicles in collection from
individual sources (Section V).
9. In order to minimize the cost of collection, intermediate storage
depots are required in all regions except the region in which the
central storage and reprocessing facility is located. Requirements
for capital expenditures are likely to be about $70,000 for inter-
mediate storage tanks, if new tanks are installed. Capital expenditures
are not required if lease-tank storage is used. Storage tank capacity
exists in some parts of the State for immediate utilization (Sections
IV and V).
10. There is an adequate volume of available storage to meet the
immediate needs of the program, including intermediate storage
-------
requirements. However the existing conditions and possible addi-
tions which may be required at each available storage location
must be identified by surveying each installation (Section IV)-
11. There are, currently, no collection mechanisms for handling waste
oils from the automobile users who purchase oil over the counter at
retail outlets and change crankcase oils themselves.
Processing
12. A plant, using state-of-the-art technology as of early 1973, can be
designed and operated for reprocessing waste oils into usable pro-
ducts and for disposing of non-processable oils. The plant process
consists of adsorbent treatment, solvent extraction and incineration.
The major premise upon which the plant design was based is that all
sources of waste oil would be received and that the widest possible
range of waste oils would be processed into fuel oil products for
use in facilities owned and operated by the State of Maryland. In
addition, the plant would have the capability to be modified to
produce products of greater value, e.g., lube oil base stock.
Ongoing development efforts may modify this conclusion in the future
(Section VI).
13. A processing and disposal plant of 22 million gallons per year
capacity (design operating base of 300 stream-days per year) will be
adequate to meet State of Maryland requirements in 1975 in the event
that a total capability for disposal of industrial waste oils is
required and complete collection of all waste oil categories is
accomplished. Such a plant would cost about $5.7 million (Section VI),
14. A first phase of a total waste oil processing system can be built
with a capacity of 10 million gallons per year at a cost of 3 million
dollars. It will accept all automotive waste oils, and a portion of
the reprocessable industrial oils identified in Conclusion #1.
The plant will also have an incinerator to dispose of the residues
from the processing plant and about half of the non-processable
waste oils. The plant includes batch operation and consists of only
those units which can become part of the proposed 20 or 30 million
gallon adsorbent treatment, solvent extraction and incineration
waste oil recovery system (See Conclusion #12, above).
15. The current technology using vacuum distillation can adequately
reprocess "high quality" waste oils. Used alone, this processing
approach would lead to large amounts of waste oils being "unprocess-
able". Also, the preferred product from vacuum distillation is
lubricating oil which does not comply with the major design criteria
presented in Conclusion #12, above. Accordingly, this process could
not be considered for the MES plant design.
16. Acid-clay or caustic-clay treatment processes alone are also inade-
quate for a total waste oil recovery and reuse program because of
-------
the large quantities of noxious waste residues produced and their
limitation to high quality waste oil feed stocks and to lubricating
oil products.
Prog ram F i n a n c i n g
17. Sufficient revenues will not be generated by the sale of fuel oil
products to sustain either the 10 or the 22 million gallon-per-year
operating programs in their entirety. Additional revenues to support
the system could be derived from general revenue funds, fees to
the motoring public as the user of the service, or as a subsidy
to mitigate against pollution from these sources.
18. A fraction of the plant capacity is allocated to processing and
disposal of industrial waste oils. The operating and capital costs
represented by this fraction can be directly recoverable through
the application of fees charged to the industrial users. However,
actual experience early in the program is required to identify the
cost to each specific source (Section VII).
19. Additional revenues through application of fees probably will not be
required for the waste oil recovery and reuse program system financ-
ing, provided an additional 8 million gallons per year of reprocessable
waste oils could be obtained from surrounding states. (This estimate
is based on the 8 million gallons being reprocessable to fuel oil
products with minimum waste generation) (Section VII).
Regulations
20. Existing EPA data indicate that the use of waste oils for road oiling
has a high potential for producing water pollution problems as a
result of runoff. Existing Maryland regulations permit the use of
waste oils for road oiling (Section VIII).
21. Maryland does not have lead emission standards. However, direct
burning of unprocessed waste oils by large users is carefully con-
trolled by the Bureau of Air Quality Control in the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene (Section VIII).
22. Existing legislation is adequate to initiate a waste oil recovery
and reuse program.
23. Existing permit requirements are associated with oil transfer and
oil spills and are not completely adequate for all the aspects of a
waste oil collection, storage, and reuse program (Section VIII).
Prog ram Imp1 erne nt at io n
24. The State of Maryland can implement a recovery and reuse program in
a step-wise fashion using a combination of existing collection/
storage resources, reuse and disposal in Maryland, and waste oil
reprocessing in other states in the first phase. Design and
-------
construction of a complete waste oil processing plant can take
place in a subsequent phase when experience related to waste oil
quantity and quality gained during implementation of the first
phase demonstrates the need for such a facility (Section IX).
25. The state-of-the-art which currently exists for the collection,
storage, reprocessing, and disposal of waste oils is adequate to
permit early implementation of a waste oil recovery and reuse
program (State-of-the-Art Report).
26. Although the techniques discussed in this report have been developed
for Maryland, they have applicability to other individual states
or to several states in concert on a regional basis. In order to
extend analyses for collection, storage, processing, and product
recovery, data and information related to these program elements
to other geographical regions will require revaluation from the
point of view of the area under consideration. Parameters used in
the collection and distribution networks and program economics
models can be easily modified; when re-run, these models will pro-
vide a design basis for other programs.
RECOMMENDATIONS*
1. The first phase of the waste oil recovery and reuse program should
be implemented at an early date and consist of the collection,
storage, and management aspects. This phase can be implemented without
without committing the State of Maryland to construction of a
reprocessing plant (Sections VIII and IX).
2. Based on the results of this analysis and other work conducted by
the Environmental Protection Agency and other State agencies, the
development of waste oil recovery and reuse programs should be
initiated on a Nation-wide basis (Sections VII, VIII and IX).
3. Regulations of the State of Maryland should be amended to:
a) Control the use of unprocessed waste oil for road oiling
and dust control purposes;
b) Control the burning of unprocessed waste oil, in the diluted
or undiluted form, as a disposal alternative; and
c) Revise the existing permit programs for the control of waste
oil collection (Section IX).
4. Financial incentives should be considered to encourage private
investment in the management and reprocessing phases of the
program (Sections VIII and IX).
These are recommendations of Environmental Quality Systems, Inc.
to the Maryland Environmental Service.
-------
5. Continued development of unit processes for the re-refining of
waste oils is to be encouraged in order to achieve a full-scale
applicability to the State-wide and regional programs and verify
design parameters using waste oil generated in the State of
Maryland (Section VI and the Preliminary Design Report).
6. Separate pricing structures for handling, reprocessing, and
disposal of various categories of waste oils should be considered
for financing a program including separate fee structures for
industrial and other users (Section VIII).
7. Burning tests and evaluations should be conducted by the MES in
order to determine the potential of this technique as an alter-
native, on an interim basis, to reprocessing of waste oils
(Sections IX and X).
-------
SECTION II
INTRODUCTION
The importance of developing State-wide and regional waste oil recovery
and reuse programs throughout the United States has assumed new dimensions
as shortages of petroleum products become more apparent. Even though the
total amounts of waste oils available for reprocessing and reuse are
relatively small compared to the National sales figures for petroleum
products, these amounts could represent a significant fraction of the
actual shortages in specific geographic areas.
A report demonstrating that a waste oil problem exists in the State of
Maryland was prepared jointly by staff of the Maryland Environmental
Service and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and published in
1971 (Shields and Miles, 1971). This report concluded:
"1. Oil is one of our most precious natural resources. It
is becoming more expensive to purchase in its crude
form, transportation accidents foul our oceans, inland
waterways and beaches, and this Nation is dependent on
long and vulnerable supply lines during times of
National emergency.
2. Much of the approximately 25,000,000 gallons of lubri-
cating or manufacturing oils sold in Maryland each year
is used only once. Many of the oily dredges from auto-
motive crankcases and industrial plants are indiscriminately
discharged to our lands and waters.
3. The available methods of handling used oil, ranging from
the most desirable to the least desirable, are as follows:
a. Re-refining
b. Burning for Heat Recovery
c. Incineration
d. Burning in Place
e. Disposal on or in the Ground or in Water.
4. The used oil thrown away each year in Maryland amounts to
about 45 percent of the new oil sold for lubricating and
manufacturing purposes in this State.
5. This used oil can be re-refined to meet specifications for
new lubricating oil or reprocessed to meet fuel oil speci-
fications.
-------
6. Reuse of used oil, as either a lubricant or for fuel
burning purposes, or both, would significantly reduce!
a. The dependency of the United States on foreign
sources of supply,
b. Oil spills attributable to tanker and drilling
accidents,
c. The rate of depletion of this valuable natural
resource, and
d. Pollution of our underground waters caused by the
indiscriminate dumping of used oil.
7. Maryland Environmental Service should investigate design
and implement methods by which oil now thrown away by
Maryland's manufacturing plants and automotive service
stations can be collected and recycled to be used again
as fuel in State-owned institutions and as a lubricant
in State-owned vehicles.
8. This program is well worth the investment required for,
if it merely breaks even financially in its operation,
this pilot project can show how the United States can
significantly reduce the pollution problems associated
with the production, transportation, and use of oil and,
at the same time, nearly double the quantity of lubri-
cating and processing oil available for this Nation's
use."
The implementation of a comprehensive WORRP in the State of Maryland can
have several desirable benefits:
— Help alleviate fuel oil shortages during the winter
months if products are stored for use during these
periods.
— Eliminate environmental damage to the water, land
and air resources of Maryland through use of sound
practices for collection, reuse and disposal of
oily wastes.
— Eliminate deliberate high volumes of waste oil
spills, and the cost associated with cleaning up
these spills, since an alternative would then be
available for recovery and/or proper disposal.
— Prevent waste of a resource by recovering a
product which has reuse value.
8
-------
— Reduce maintenance costs in sewers and municipal
treatment plants incurred due to coating and fouling
of equipment by the many, chronic, low volume spills
of oily wastes to the waste collection system.
Subsequent to the publication of the report highlighting the waste oil
problem, and on the basis of information contained in the report, the
Maryland Environmental Service undertook to develop a comprehensive
waste oil recovery and reuse system and engaged Environmental Quality
Systems, Inc. of Rockville, Maryland to prepare a design for the system,
including a preliminary design for a waste oil processing plant based
on existing technology which would process a maximum range of waste oil
types into the maximum quantity of reusable product, and dispose of the
remaining "non-recoverable" fraction such that minimum adverse environ-
mental impact would result.
During the course of the work, it was decided by the MES that the primary
products of the plant should be fuel oils. This decision was based on
three considerations:
1. Fuel oil products production would alleviate the effect
of expected shortages of these materials during the
coming heating season;
2. The quantities of fuel oils produced by the reprocessing
plant could be directly utilized by State-owned and
operated facilities, prisons, hospitals and others; and
3. Fuel oil production would eliminate the need for an
extensive marketing program to sell the lubricating oil
base stock or blended lubricating oil products. (State
requirements for lubricating oil products, i.e., State
Roads Commission, Highway Patrol, and other vehicles
would represent less than 5 percent of the total poten-
tial plant production of such materials).
The development of the WORRP program elements and engineering design was
continually guided by several premises. These are:
1. Collection, storage, processing and/or disposal of al1
types of waste oils, including waste automotive lubri-
cants, industrial waste oils, and others were required.
This would ensure protection of water quality and pre-
vention of pollution of watercourses within the State
as a result of these materials.
-------
2. Production of the maximum quantity of fuel oil products
from waste oils was required while maintaining the
flexibility to convert to higher product quality pro-
duction, i.e., lubricating oil base stocks, at a later
date. This would ensure immediate utilization of
products as fuel oils during expected reduced supply
periods while preserving the potential for recovery of
increased revenues during future years.
3. Existing Federal and State water and air quality standards
would be met.
4. The use of current state-of-the-art technology was required
to ensure that the program could be implemented as rapidly
as possible by the State of Maryland without awaiting
results of ongoing research and development.
During the course of conduct of this work, a report was completed
entitled "Waste Oil Recovery and Reuse -- Summary of the State-of-the-
Art, 1972". The report contains data and information related to waste
oil quantities in the State of Maryland and National estimates, pro-
perties of waste oils and recovered products, a survey of existing laws
and regulations for the control of handling and disposal of waste oils,
costs and operating data for unit processes available for processing
and disposal of oily wastes, and a review of waste oil transport systems.

SUMMARY
THE PROBLEM
The total amount of waste oils produced in the State of Maryland on a
yearly basis is estimated to be distributed as follows:
Waste Crankcase Oils 7 million gallons, annually
Waste Industrial Oils 5 million gallons, annually
Waste Oil from Over-the-
Counter Sales 1
Waste Variable Oils (Oil
Spills, Septic Tanks,
and Others) — 4
million gallons, annually
million gallons, annually
Waste Other Oil (Industrial
Solvents and Others) 1.5 million gallons, annually
Total Waste Oils 18.5 million gallons, annually
These estimates are based on questionnaire, survey and interview results
(See Section IV).
A problem does exist in the State of Maryland with regard to satisfactory
collection and disposal of waste oils. Only about one-third to one-half
of the waste oil generated in the State is currently identified as being
collected by waste oil haulers. The fate of this oil is uncertain, but a
substantial fraction is probably being burned without processing to re-
move heavy metals as fuel within the State or in other states. A signi-
ficant amount of the collected oil is also being used for road oiling
purposes to control dust. This oil creates a water pollution problem
due to runoff. The remaining one-half to two-thirds of the waste oil
generated and not identified as being collected by waste oil haulers is
being disposed of to the land and water resources of the State, or in-
cinerated as a waste.
The nature of the problem may be characterized as follows:
a) Improved collection
to handle between 50
currently generated
storage, and handling are required
and 67 percent of the waste oil
- between 9 and 12 million gallons
per year based on 1972 values - which are not collected
and which may be discharged to the environment.
12
-------
b) Improved processing and disposal techniques are required
for most of the waste oil currently generated - between
9 and 17.5 million gallons, annually, based on 1972 values.
Most of the waste oil is generated by industrial, commercial and private
users of petroleum products in the Baltimore metropolitan area and in
the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. corridor, including Washington, D.C.
suburbs in Montgomery and Prince Georges County. Significant amounts
are generated in other population centers within the State, including
Annapolis, Cumberland, Hagerstown, and Frederick.
Users of petroleum products generate a wide range of waste oils and
wastes containing oils which may be characterized as follows:
— Waste automotive and aeromotive crank case oils which
accumulate at automobile service centers, gas stations,
bus and trucking centers, and airports.
— Waste automotive crankcase oils which result from the
do-it-yourself oil changes(represented by the so-called
over-the-counter oil sales).
— Waste industrial lubricants such as cutting oils,
transformer coolants, equipment lubricants, and others.
— Oil-water mixtures resulting from clean-up of spills
of petroleum products.
— Variable waste oils resulting from septic tank
cleanouts and storage tank bottoms.
— Oily wastes, largely from industrial operations
which contain solvents, paints and other materials.
— Oily wastes containing small relative amounts of
oil such as bilge and ballast water. This latter
is considered to be a problem specific to harbor
areas and is not considered herein.
THE SOLUTION
The existing waste oil problem in the State of Maryland may be solved by
implementation of a phased program consisting of:
Phase I - Implementation wi th Existing_ Resources
Collection of all waste oil by existing collections
augmented by additional resources, if required.
13
-------
a) Management of existing waste oil collection services
within the State and later extension of services to
remote regions.
b) Establishment and management of storage areas at
several locations throughout the State preferably
by leasing existing storage capacity at tank farms.
c) Establishment and management of a distribution
system for the stored waste oil to:
— environmentally acceptable reuse purposes
within the State,
— rerefining facilities in other States, and
— disposal at facilities which maintain
appropriate water and air pollution control
prevention equipment.
Phase II - Permanent Installation
Following accumulation of experience, identification of quantities, and
characterization of various waste sources, a permanent program can be
initiated that would mix available resources with new processing and dis-
posal facilities within the State to maximize the quantity of waste oil
that can be reused. This can be by a combination of private and State
investments or by one or the other, exclusively.
a) Design and construction of a module of a future waste
oil recovery and disposal facility of a size and nature
to process the types and quantities of waste oils
verified by the experience during Phase I. Such a plant
would produce fuel oil products primarily.
b) At a later date expansion of the processing plant, if
necessary, to accommodate increases in waste oil
production during future years, and/or
c) At a later date to produce "higher" reuse products such
as lubricating oil base stocks, if a suitable market for
such products can be demonstrated.
The alternatives for implementing the waste oil program are presented in
Figure 1. All of the alternatives except reprocessing for product recovery
are incomplete alternatives in that they address parts of the total waste
oil problem, e.g., it is likely that only the high quality waste oils such
as waste crankcase oils could be exported to an out-of-state user, or

mentation schemes will require a compliance plan (amended regulations)
and program management, a monitoring activity, a collection program
begun with existing waste oil haulers, and a partial storage program
utilizing leased tank space where available.
WASTE OIL SOURCES
The origin of waste oils is refined petroleum products; however, a
small amount of animal and vegetable waste oils may be included in the
total. The total amount of waste oil generated in Maryland in 1972
was 5 million gallons of industrial lubricating oils and 7 million
gallons of automotive lubricants. To these volumes must be added
1 million gallons of oil resulting from over-the-counter sales.
Additionally, there are about 4 million gallons of variable waste oil
and about 1.5 million gallons of "other" waste oil. Variable waste oil
includes septic tank cleanouts, oil spills, service station tray clean-
outs, and others. "Other" waste oils include industrial solvents and
petrochemicals, waste edible oils, waste hydrocarbon process stocks,
recovered oil from sewage treatment plants, and miscellaneous waste
oils.
The annual growth rate in production of these waste oils is estimated
to be about 6 percent nationally. On the average, about half of all
lubricant materials sold are for automotive use.
Nationally, about 2.3 billion gallons of petroleum lubricants are used
for industrial and automotive applications per annum.
Typical sources of waste oils include automotive service stations and
repair facilities, truck repair facilities and depots, aeromotive and
marine service facilities, and hundreds of different types of industrial
and commercial operations including those using rotary machinery and
those using oil directly as a lubricant during processing.
The use of these lubricating materials results in the production of
waste lubricant oils. Similarly, in the handling of other oils, such
as heating oils, there is a small fraction of the original material
which ends up as waste. However, the predominant amount of waste
material occurs as a result of replacing used lubricating oils. It is
estimated that of all automotive oils sold, approximately 43 percent
end up as waste oil. In a similar fashion, industrial oils yield about
18 percent as waste oil which must be disposed of. These values are
based on questionnaire results.
During the course of this study a questionnaire survey of sources of
waste oil throughout the State of Maryland was conducted. The percen-
tage returns of 41 percent and 24 percent respectively, for the crank-
case oil and industrial oil waste sources indicate the success of the
16
-------
survey and the effectiveness of the questions posed. This resulted in
the availability of a very broad data base for these two categories.
WASTE OIL CHARACTERISTICS
Waste oils constitute a valuable source of hydrocarbons and have been
applied to a variety of uses ranging from road oiling without pro-
cessing to reuse as high quality lubricants after reprocessing. The
conversion potential of waste oils to useful products depends strongly
on a number of factors including physical and chemical characteristics.
Waste crankcase oils frequently contain about 5 percent low boiling
material originating from the gasoline. Additionally, because of the
lead used in gasoline as an anti-knock compound, automotive crankcase
oils contain a large amount of lead; up to about one percent by weight.
Frequently, 6 to 10 percent of solid materials, sediment, and water
are found in waste crankcase oils along with the additives originally
compounded into the oil. Insoluble materials in waste crankcase oil
include carbon particles, dust, metal particles, metal oxides and
other materials. All these contaminants interfere with the use of
the spent lubricant for reuse as a lubricant and for other applications,
unless the waste oil is reprocessed.
Most waste industrial lubricants contain breakdown products resulting
from the use of the oil. In addition, they may contain contaminating
materials resulting from the mixing of other waste petroleum products
or water solvents, paints, and other materials with the original waste
lubricant. Since the virgin lubricant materials usually are compounded
with a variety of additives to improve their properties, the waste oils
are found to contain fractional concentrations of such additives.
Typical additive materials are: zinc and barium compounds, amines,
phosphates, sulfonates, sulfides, phosphites, silicons, calcium com-
pounds, polyacrylic polymers, isobutyline polymers, halogens, lead
compounds, fatty acids, and phenols.
The characteristics of waste oils are expected to undergo changes in
the future. For example, automotive engine lubricants can be expected
to become richer in additives to improve their useful life. As a
result, waste oils are expected to exhibit a commensurate increase in
additives. Over the same period, the removal of lead from gasolines
(in accordance with air pollution control objectives established by
the Federal government) will result in less lead being found in used
crankcase oils. Other metal-containing additives may replace lead-
based compounds. In a similar fashion, some changes may be expected
in the composition of industrial lubricants with some additional empha-
sis being given to the introduction of longer-lasting synthetic
lubricants. Detailed data and information related to characteristics
of waste oils and recovered products can be found in the separate
State-of-the-Art Report.
17
-------
COLLECTION SYSTEM
The State of Maryland was divided into five primary regions -- north-
west, north, south, central, and eastern shore -- in order to perform
the collection system analysis.
Between 18 and 22 tank trucks of 2800-gallon capacity are required to
collect all categories of waste oils and deliver to a central storage
location. An additional requirement of between one and three 6000-
gallon capacity tank trucks are required to move waste oil between the
intermediate storage locations (in all regions except that in which
the central storage facility is located) and a central storage location.
The cost for collection is about 3$ per gallon of waste oil delivered
to the central location. The location of the central storage facility
may affect these collection costs by 15 to 20 percent. However, un-
favorable management factors such as overhead, vehicle waiting time,
labor wage rates and others, may result in doubling costs. The values
for system costs were developed using current rates for truck leasing.
However, utilization of existing tank truck haulers to implement the
program should be pursued.
With modifications, the collection network models developed may be
applied to other states or regional areas in the U.S. and may be used
as management assistance tools in the operation of a collection network.
Existing empty storage tank capacity is available and could fill the
immediate program needs. However, the condition of the tanks and the
need for additional appurtenances will require evaluation of each site.
If the existing storage is adequate, a collection, storage, and reuse
program could be implemented immediately (Phase I).
PLANT DESIGN
The process train selected for producing fuel oil products from a wide
range of waste oil feedstocks includes chemical addition, settling,
flash distillation, adsorbent contacting, solvent extraction, filtra-
tion, solvent recovery, and incineration. Preliminary designs and
cost estimates were prepared using early 1973 state-of-the-art tech-
nology for three plant capacities to take into account appropriate
program phasing:
Estimated Capital
Capacity Cost
10 million gallons per year $ 3.0 million
22 million gallons per year $ 5.7 million
30 million gallons per year $ 6.6 million
18
-------
The cost for the 30 million-gallon-per-year plant was determined by
scale-up of the preliminary cost estimate for the 22 million gallon
facility. Estimates for storage tank requirements are included.
About 13 acres of land are required for the 22 million gallon plant
including the storage facility. The details of the preliminary
design are presented in a separate report, and a complete summary
is contained in Section VI of this report.

SECTION IV
RESULTS OF SURVEYS
INTRODUCTION
Knowledge of the quantity and types of waste oils generated is a
necessary ingredient to the MES Waste Oil Study since these factors
affect the size and design of a system for collection and reprocessing
waste oil and the economics associated with the system. One of the
techniques employed by the MES Waste Oil Study to obtain such knowledge
was through direct survey of potential waste oil generators in Maryland.
The mail-out questionnaire was chosen as the information-gathering
vehicle for the MES Waste Oil Study Survey. Data and information were
also obtained through personal contact, telephone calls, and other
types of inquiries.
All of the MES Waste Oil Study survey questionnaire forms were for-
warded under a covering letter from the Maryland Environmental Service.
The content of the questionnaires was subjected to a review process
including State and Federal officials. In addition, pilot question-
naires were used to test the reactions of potential recipients before
the actual mail-out was performed. The objective of the review and
test procedure was to develop questionnaires that would minimize the
possibility of misinterpretation. The rate of response was consider-
ably higher than that normally encountered in this type of survey.
Two basic questionnaire forms were employed in the MES Waste Oil Study
survey. One questionnaire form was intended for establishments that
generated only automotive waste oils. This survey form was mailed
exclusively to establishments involved in retailing gasoline. Another
questionnaire form was designed to cover a much wider field of waste
oil generators, and was mailed to other potential waste oil generators
including all Standard Industrial Code classifications except those
presented in Appendix A. The crankcase oil and industrial oil
questionnaires can be found in Appendix H. Appendix H also includes
a discussion of the process for arriving at the five major collection
and distribution regions presented in Figure 2. These regions are
the basis for the Maryland waste oil collection network. Figure 2
also shows three potential processing plant locations used as examples
to test the sensitivity of the model developed to analyze system
costs, which are discussed in a later section.

THE SURVEY OF CRANKCASE OIL SOURCES
Waste Oil Survey questionnaires were sent to all establishments engaged
in retailing gasoline in the State of Maryland that were listed on the
rolls of the State's Motor Fuels Audit Division. Some 4,007 question-
naires were mailed in the course of this part of the waste oil survey.
This questionnaire was intended to capture information pertaining only
to automotive wastes since its recipients were all retailers of
gasoline, and therefore presumably engaged in servicing automotive
needs.
The responses to the automotive waste oil survey were tabulated for
each of the Master Zip Code Regions (See Figure 7 in Appendix H).
An example of the tabulations of the responses received is given in
Appendix I. The Appendix also contains a detailed discussion of the
manner in which the questionnaire results were handled and complete
data and statistics for the State of Maryland. In general, weighted
replies to each question were related to the total number of question-
naires mailed in each category. Complete data and statistics for each
Master Zip Code Region for both the crankcase oil and industrial oil
surveys are not presented in this report because of the volume con-
sideration.
Table 2. includes the data resulting from this survey and extrapolated
values for the entire state based on the number of replies received.
These data were used to verify estimates made earlier in the study.
Final design of the system should utilize these data. Differences
between these values and the estimates used in the preliminary design
are presented in Section VI.

INDUSTRIAL OIL SURVEY
Because of the more varied and undetermined nature of the sources of
industrial waste oil, a different and more comprehensive questionnaire
form was used to survey this portion of the population of potential
waste oil generators. This questionnaire was sent to all manufacturers
listed in the 1971-1972 Directory of Maryland Manufacturers who were
likely generators of waste oil. Industrial Waste Oil Survey question-
naires were also sent to all employers listed on the rolls of the
Department of Employment and Social Services of the State of Maryland
in all industries employing 10 or more persons, except those identified
by the Standard Industrial Classification codes listed in Appendix A.
23
-------
In summary, questionnaires were sent to all establishments that were
thought to be significant generators of waste oil, except retail
gas stations which were covered in the waste automotive oil survey
described above. This resulted in a mailing of some 6,952 Industrial
Waste Oil surveys, of which 1,635 were returned, for a response pro-
portion of 23.5 percent. This response was very good since the
population addressed was far less homogeneous than in the case of
the gasoline tax survey.
Although the tabular format for displaying the results of the in-
dustrial oil survey is the same as that used for the crankcase oil
survey, a different and more sophisticated statistical technique
called stratification was employed to produce these tabulations.
This was because the waste oil generation characteristics vary
markedly between different Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
codes. That is, toy manufacturers generate far different quantities
and types of waste oils than do, say, steel manufacturers. In such
a case, stratification of results by SIC codes leads to much more
accurate estimates of totals than do simple population treatment
techniques such as were used in the crankcase oil survey.
Techniques used for handling and summarizing the data from this
survey are presented in Appendix I, along with sample data. Table 4
includes extrapolated values for each industrial waste oil category.
The values were arrived at in a manner similar to that shown for
the automotive crankcase oil values in Table 2.
An estimated total of 1,480,000 gallons of waste mottr oil per year
was uncovered in the industrial oil survey. This comes mainly from
such sources as bus companies and manufacturing concerns with sizeable
transportation fleets that do not retail gasoline and were conse-
quently not covered in the crankcase oil survey.
Table 5 shows the total, combined industrial and crankcase oils as
determined by both surveys segregated by collection and distribution
regions.
Besides the data presented in Table 6 summarizing collection costs
on a dollar per gallon basis, industrial waste oil generators re-
ported payment plans on the following bases:
Collection basis No. of replies Reported range
per load 36 $ 5 - 35
per month 10 6-50
per year 12 100 - 250
per drum 6 2-6
About half of the industrial sources surveyed paid nothing for
collection services.
Data collected during this survey should be used during the final
design of the waste oil program elements.

WASTE OIL FROM OVER-THE-COUNTER SALES
Five large chain merchandising operations with high motor oil over-the-
counter sales indicated that their organizations sold an estimated
3,855,250 gallons per year during 1972. This value should account for
about 95 percent of such sales. The five organizations sampled were:
Western Auto Supply Corporation; Sears, Roebuck and Company; Montgomery
Ward and Company; Dart Drug Corporation; and Drug Fair.
On the basis of the crankcase oil survey results, about one-third of the
lube oil sold for automotive purposes appears as waste oil. In the case
of over-the-counter sales, however, this ratio is probably high since
over-the-counter sales represent a significant fraction of oil used for
grass-cutter and marine engines, and sales to owners of automobiles with
high oil replacement requirements. Using these considerations, the waste
oil generated by over-the-counter purchasers is estimated to be 1,000,000
gallons. As service stations are reluctant to accept this type of
drainage, it is speculated that do-it-yourself waste oil is disposed of
in garbage and refuse pickup or to sewers or land.
WASTE VARIABLE AND OTHER OILS
Interviews with the Metropolitan Sewer Cleaning and Pumping Association
of Washington, D.C. indicated additional potential sources of waste oil
in the State of Maryland. These sources account for about 200 million
gallons of wastewater handled by the Association, annually; tank clean-
outs (including waste fuel oils or tank bottoms), service station inter-
ceptors, etc., provide this type of oily wastewater. The interviews
also indicated that approximately 2 percent of this liquid waste are
petroleum products which are currently disposed of with the water. There-
fore, the oily wastewaters being handled by the Association will eventually
provide an additional 4 million gallons of waste oil for the WORRP facility,
assuming strict enforcement of water pollution control regulations. This
waste oil estimate was, therefore, included in the system design basis.
The category "Other Waste Oils" includes waste edible oils, waste
industrial solvents and sewage treatment plant waste oils. Since the
waste oil surveys did not provide information on these materials, the
quantity was estimated to be 10 percent of the total volume of crankcase,
industrial and variable waste oils.
MARKET SURVEY
Other sections of this report indicate the various types of petroleum
products which can be produced through re-refining. Among the most
straightforward to produce are the neavier grade fuel oils: Numbers 4,
5, and 6. Since these particular products will be cost-effectively
produced, a market survey was performed to determine the number of gallons
of residual fuel oils used within the State of Maryland during 1972.
27
-------
Actual consumption data was sought and trends for future years were
determined. Data are presented for all users within the State who
use over 700,000 gallons of #4, #5, or #6 fuel oil, per year. More
detailed analyses were performed for all State agencies. Major fuel
oil distributors were questioned to determine their percentage share
of the total market. The results of these activities are presented in
this subsection.
Market Size
The total market for fuel oil types #4, #5, and #6 in 1972 exceeded
2 billion gallons. This total consumption figure was obtained from
the State of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Bureau
of Air Quality Control. The Bureau data derives from a census of all
industrial and institutional installations within the State of Maryland.
Each installation is examined with regard to air pollution it generates
during its normal operations. The Bureau produces a listing of all
installations which release more than 25 tons of particulate matter into
the atmosphere yearly. A separate indication is made for three categories
of activity: processing, fuel burning, and incineration. The listing
indicates fuels used. Burning about 700,000 gallons of #4, #5, or #6
fuel oil (or burning other amounts of different kinds of oils or natural
gasses) will release 25 tons of particulate matter. Thus, any installa-
tion which burns only fuel oil is listed only when the total amount
burned exceeds 700,000 gallons; installations which burn other types of
fuels in conjunction with fuel oils will be listed if the total particu-
late matter discharged into the air exceeds the 25-ton limit.
The total market derived from the Bureau of Air Quality Control statistics
is summarized in Table 7, distributed by County, indicating Baltimore
City separately. Some major State and Federal and local governmental
users requirements are included in these totals.
Since'not all of the State agencies who use residual fuel oils are
listed in Table 7, the total specific requirements of State government
users were treated separately.
The General Services Administration of the State of Maryland was queried.
This agency procures almost all petroleum products used by State agencies.
Once each year, the Agency promulgates a consolidated bidding list
indicating all fuel oil required by State institutions. Responses to
the bid list provide an overview of the State's internal market, including
prices paid for each fuel grade, and turnover (how many times each tank
must be filled). Table 8 indicates the total State of Maryland usage by
fuel oil type, the number of users of that type, the quantity used during
1972, the turnover, and the average price per gallon.
To obtain some idea of the variation in price paid as related to the total
numbers of gallons used and the location within the State, agencies
using #5 and #6 fuel oils were examined in detail and listed by Zip Code
and by Grade Used. The total of all State agencies was processed to
produce a complete listing for use by the Maryland Environmental Service.
A summary of that listing is presented in Table 9.

A complete listing of all State of Maryland users of fuel oil was com-
piled. These two listings serve to indicate a quite complete list of all
potential customers for residual fuels. The two listings produce an
apparent market in excess of 2,100,000,000 gallons, annually (primarily
of Grade 6 fuel oil).
The market for residual fuels appears likely to expand within the State
for two reasons:
1. There is a shortage of Type 2 fuel oil at this time.
Therefore, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
anticipates a switch from Grade 2 to Grade 6 fuel oils
on the part of industrial users. Type 6 oil can be
burned with appropriate air pollution controls and will
produce emission levels which meet the State standards,
provided that the new State requirements of 1/2 percent
sulfur content for Grades 4, 5, and 6 oils are met.
2. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has been
reviewing the status of those sources which now burn
coal for industrial processes. It plans to order many
coal burning operations to convert to oil burning.
Normally, this would have caused conversion to Grade 2
fuel burning capability. But it appears likely that
conversion to Grade 6 or other residual fuel usage will
occur instead.
Thus, to the current market of about 2 billion gallons, will be added a
potential market of some 500,000,000 or so gallons by 1975.
It is contemplated that some of the total re-refining capacity will be
used for production of lubricating oil from waste oils. Accordingly,
this market should not be overlooked.
It appears that the total 1972 sales of motor oil in the State of Maryland
was in excess of 20 million gallons, on the basis of questionnaire data
and over-the-counter sales.
The State Highway Department has been reported to use about 40,000 gallons
per year of auto lubes. The State Police consume about 19,000 gallons
per year. Montgomery County reports using about 18,000 gallons per year.
Other government organizations using significant amounts of auto lubes
are: Maryland National Park and Planning Commission, Uashington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, Montgomery and other County Boards of Education,
State Road Commission and others. But it is clear that the State's share
of the total market is likely to be less than 10 percent of the total of
20 million gallons, considering its vehicular ownership.
Thus, some small quantities of re-cycled motor oil produced as a by-
product of the refining processes might be used by the States' own vehicles.
32
-------
Any attempt to recycle the total amount of waste lube oil available
from a lube reprocessing facility would result in a requirement to sell
a significant fraction in the open market.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SURVEY
The current oil distribution pattern within the State is rather complex.
The Maryland Petroleum Institute provided a listing of 17 major oil
companies which, it was thought, supplied the bulk of residual fuels
burned within the State. Each of these organizations was asked to
supply a rough estimate of the total gallonage of Types 4, 5, and 6
residual fuels they sold within the State for 1972. Quantities which
could be aggregated from these reports fell far short of the totals
indicated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Bureau of
Air Quality Control. Apparently, the differences were made up by a
large number of more localized distributors who deal with a less than
State-wide market. Contacts with the Oil Heat Dealers of Maryland, and
the Maryland Oil Jobbers Council, failed to produce a reasonable gallonage
reconciliation with the data provided by the Bureau of Air Quality Control.
Insofar as can be verified, approximately 10 to 15 distributors (in
addition to the major oil companies) sell directly to customers within
the State. The residual fuels enter the State by pipeline (Colonial
and Plantation, an EXXON subsidiary) by barges, and, to a limited extent,
by tanker (Steuart Petroleum). The products come from Philadelphia or
Wilmington or even from North Carolina and are thus credited as sales
to a distribution point not within the State of Maryland.
Inability to detail a distribution network with approximate gallons of
sales in each branch leads to examination of the gross market and the
analysis of a State re-refinery product distribution plan based on local,
municipal and State users.
The size and location of sources of waste oil to be used as feed to the
MES-WORRP plant determine, to a large extent, the location of the pro-
cessing facility. It appears that by far the largest component of waste
oil is created by the automotive activity within the State. It also
appears from automobile and truck registration data that about 2 million
gallons of waste lube oil are produced within the Baltimore metropolitan
area, about 2 million gallons within the Washington metropolitan area,
about 2 million gallons in the Frederick-Hagerstown-Cumberland region,
and 1 million gallons in the rest of the State. Thus, the total waste
production from automotive sources approximates 7 million gallons.
The other significant impact on the location of a reprocessing plant is
the proximity of the market.
If the City of Baltimore consumption of #4, #5 and #6 fuels is considered
by itself, it is clear that all of the total product of the re-refinery
can be distributed within that restricted geography — perhaps even to a_
single user.
33
-------
In the marketing of re-refined lubricants, the buyer has traditionally
enjoyed a price advantage due to the lower sales price usually associated
with re-refined oil products. However, this price spread is strongly
dependent on specific marketing conditions, the client, his purchasing
power and practices, special requirements of the client, delivery
schedules and similar factors. Table 10 illustrates some of the differ-
ences found in marketing of lubes.

The span of prices noted in Table 10 indicates that re-refined products
could compete in the market place, providing product acceptability is
established.
From this point of view, distribution networks for products appear to be
of quite limited interest, and the re-refinery location should be chosen
to minimize collection costs and re-refinery economics.
TANKAGE SURVEY
Existing storage tankage not in use because of changes in business climate,
new requirements or other factors represent surplus capacity which could
be used within the collection network. A partial list of such facilities
is shown below in Table 11.
Some of these facilities may require retro-fitting with dike aprons, inter-
ceptors and other devices to make them conform to new State pollution
control regulations. An evaluation of requirements for modification should
be made during implementation of Phase I.

SECTION V
WASTE OIL COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
After having divided the State into master zip code areas and then into
the five control regions: Northwest, North, South, Central, and Eastern
Shore (Figure 2), the PIP and PUP models were applied to the entire State
to evolve alternative collection systems and their attendant costs.
The PickUp to Plant (PUP) system employs local collection vehicles which
are to pick up waste oil from the sources and deliver it to the repro-
cessing plant. The basic PUP collection vehicle is a 2,800-gallon tank
truck. This size truck is in common use for collection of waste materials
from local sources and has the advantage of being able to easily maneuver
in and out of small parking lots such as those encountered in service
stations, and it is relatively easy to handle in congested traffic.
The FMckup to Intermediate Storage to Plant (PIP) system utilizes 2,800-
gallon capacity vehicles for local collection of waste oil within pre-
determined geographical regions and delivering of the waste to intermediate
storage tanks located within the region or in another region. Six-thousand-
gallon long haul tractor-trailer combinations, with extra trailers to
maximize their utilization, would be used to deliver the oil from the
intermediate storage sites to the plant.
Both the collection and distribution models are presented in Appendix J.
Both collection models were run for all five regions with the following
sets of parameter variations:
1. Three different plant locations: these locations were
at Baltimore (Foreman's Corner on the western shore
of the Chesapeake Bay), Waldorf, Maryland and Columbia,
Maryland. The sites at Waldorf and Columbia were
chosen, not because they represent actual potential site
locations, but in order to disturb the model sufficiently
to determine the sensitivity to cost of wide variations
in plant locations. The regional names, location
coordinates and distances to the three plant locations
are presented in Appendix 0. The location coordinates
used are those from standard U. S. Geological Survey
100,000-foot grid coordinates.
2. Three plant capacity values were chosen, namely, 18
million, 19.8 million and 22 million gallons per year
distributed around the nominal 20 million-gallon-per-year
plant size.
36
-------
3. Three sets of numerical parameters for both PIP and PUP
were chosen to represent the expected "Best", "Worst" and
"Good" values for running the models. These ranges are
expected to represent actual ranges in practice as the
collection system is operated throughout the State. The
numerical parameters for the PUP system are presented in
Appendix J. Those numerical parameters chosen to repre-
sent the same spread for the PIP system are also presented
in Appendix J.
As might be expected, the bulk of waste oil is generated in Region 2,
which encompasses the Washington metropolitan area, and Region 3,
which includes Baltimore. The density of waste oil sources in Region
4 is low and it should be serviced by vehicles based in Region 2.
Region 5, Maryland's Eastern Shore region, also has comparatively low
concentrations of waste oil sources but is treated separately because
of its geographical isolation.
In applying the PIP and PUP models to the MES waste oil system, it was
assumed that all collection and hauling vehicles were leased rather than
purchased. This assumption does not change the basic form of the model.
The cost of a vehicle is still represented as a fixed cost depending
on vehicle type and a variable cost which depends both on vehicle type
and use mileage. The leasing assumption results in no capital invest-
ment cost and a somewhat higher fixed charge than would be the case
with owned vehicles. Although the impact on overall cost is minimal,
the collection models can be run using typical cost value figures for
owned vehicles.
All results obtained by running the PIP and PUP models are summarized
in the 20 tables of data in Appendix E. Tables 46 through 55
are PUP results, and Tables 56 through 65 are PIP results. The
runs illustrated that the most economic situation was had by using a
PIP-type system in all the regions except that region in which the
plant was located. In other words, it is likely that intermediate
storage tanks and long-haul trucks would be used for the four regions
removed from the plant location, and the PUP system was most economical
for the region in which the plant was located by the model. To summarize,
for the case of the plant location at Baltimore (Foreman's Corner), the
PUP system should be used to collect waste oils in Region 3, while PIP
should be used for Regions 1, 2, 4 and 5. Similarly, the same holds
for the Waldorf (Southern) and the Columbia (Central) Region locations.
A review of the data presented in Table 12 will reveal that the cost per
gallon for waste oil collection and delivery ranges from somewhat over
H to 7

review of the numerical parameters used for PIP and PUP. The values
chosen for overhead, routing factors, the equipment utilization factor,
and labor rates significantly affect the overall cost of the system
operation. Waiting times for the trucks and drivers, both in the
regions and at the plant, and the average speeds attainable by the indi-
vidual vehicles also significantly affect the costs. It should be noted
that leasing was assumed as the most viable alternative for the vehicles.
Therefore, the only capital cost incurred for the collection system is
the installation of intermediate storage tanks, assuming a central storage
facility is available.
It is useful to compare the PIP and PUP output on a region-by-region basis.
This has been done and the results are included in Table 12. The results
for each region for PUP were compared to three results for each region
for PIP. The best (most cost effective) was chosen for each region and
the regions were summed for both cost and number of vehicles required to
obtain a horizontal entry in Table 12. There are a total of 27 such possi-
bilities. Those presented in Table 12 represent a wide range of unit
collection costs, the range of parameters for both the Baltimore and
Waldorf locations, and the three plant locations at the three different
volumes. It can be seen that the effect of plant location is not as great
as the effect of management of the collection system.
The network models presented herein are applicable to any state or any
region in the United States. It would only be necessary to re-define the
geographic areas and re-state the numerical parameters to apply the system
anywhere. As a matter of fact, its full potential would be utilized more
effectively in an application of wider geographic scope. Additionally,
the distribution network to a very large number of potential customers can
be expanded quite readily in a similar fashion as that presented for the
PIP and PUP descriptions.
The models can also be used effectively as a management assistance tool
in the operation of a collection network by the addition of a real-time
segment to handle a dispatching system. In this application, the models
will continually update the projected costs, on an hourly basis if
necessary, for use as input in the decision-making process.
The numerical results of the PIP and PUP analyses were reviewed and uti-
lized in the cost expansions of the overall system economic model.
The existing 171 collectors that have been identified as operating in the
State of Maryland, and perhaps others, could form the basis for a collection
system which could be initiated in the very near future.
Pipelining and barging alternatives were compared to the over-the-road
costs of the PUP and PIP systems. Pipelining is a substitute for the
long-haul tractor-trailer combination of the PIP system. However, at the
volumes and distances involved, pipelining is not competitive with over-
the-road hauling.
39
-------
Barging can also be considered as a substitute for the long haul tractor-
trailers between the Eastern Shore Region of Maryland and a reprocessing
plant located in the Baltimore Harbor area, for example. Barging is
economically attractive when compared to over-the-road hauling, if the
volumes are commensurate with barge sizes and storage resources.
Optimum barging costs are estimated to be approximately l/2<£ per gallon,
excluding demurrage, compared to It to 4tf per gallon for truck hauling.
However, standard barge sizes are 840,000 and 1,750,000 gallons. Con-
sequently, approximately one barge-trip per year will satisfy the current
and near future waste oil volumes. This situation requires extensive
storage facilities on the Eastern Shore or the purchase of a barge with
a commensurate increase in storage at the plant to accept this large slug
load. Accordingly, the capital investment for either a barge or additional
storage facilities is not warranted at this time. If the volume of waste
oil from this Region approaches 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 gallons per year,
barging should be thoroughly investigated.

SECTION VI
PRELIMINARY DESIGN SUMMARY*
INTRODUCTION
Based primarily on the Waste Oil Recovery Practives State-of-the-Art
Report (1972) submitted after the first six months of this project, a
detailed preliminary design was developed for a comprehensive waste oil
processing facility. This facility is to provide disposal services for
all waste oils generated in the State of Maryland. Extensive process
literature surveys plus communications with existing re-refiners and
equipment suppliers provided the technical base for the actual process
design work. The complete Preliminary Design Report from which the
summary presented here has been abstracted is presented under separate
cover.
In contrast to existing re-refinery operations, the proposed facility
is not limited to processing a carefully selected quality of waste oils
to produce a lubricating oil which provides the highest value product.
The State of Maryland considered the waste oil recovery and reuse pro-
gram as a mechanism to clean up pollution from this source and to
provide a product that could be utilized, if possible, by governmental
agencies. Accordingly, all sources of waste oil would be collected
and treated or disposed of. In addition, the State of Maryland pre-
ferred not to have to market products, which would be the case if
non-fuel oil products were considered.
Furthermore, Maryland need not consider the operation of this system
to obtain the maximum profit. Unlike private industry, a small profit,
a breakeven, or even a loss could be justified on the basis of the
overall benefit to the residents, waste oil producing industries,
environment, energy needs, resource conservation, pollution control,
etc. Though elements of the program could be performed by private
industry, the scope and management of the total program were, for
this project, deemed best to be under the control of MES.
It is recognized that other overriding conditions could produce other
combinations of collection, process, product, and disposal requirements.
However, for MES, the following design needs were considered:
1. Treatment or disposal of all types of waste oils that are
collected within the State of Maryland.
2. Predominantly, production of fuel oil with some production
of lube oil. The products to be used by Maryland State
agencies.
*"*The Plant design is completely described in a separate report
entitled "Preliminary Design Report for a Waste Oil Recovery and
Reuse Processing Plant, 1973."
41
-------
3. The total waste oil recovery and reuse system need not
produce a profit.
4. Compliance with all current and projected State and
Federal environmental standards.
5. Use of existing state-of-the-art technology.
Since the results of the waste oil surveys (See Section IV) were not
available during the early course of the preliminary design work, feed-
stock waste oil quantities and quality for the"processing facility had
to be estimated from other sources. Table 13 presents the quantities
which were used, as well as analagous quantities from the waste oil survey.
These values have been projected to 1975 for design purpdses and refer to
very broad waste oil categories. Although the gross quantities of oil
according to the two sets of data agree very well, this must be fortuitous
since the individual quantities vary significantly (especially for the
waste industrial oils). As noted on the table, preliminary estimates are
that 5 million of the 22 million gallons generated will be non-recoverable,
that is, will require incineration or disposal by other than reprocessing.
Gross waste oil quantities are not suitable for preliminary design
purposes. Therefore, a more detailed breakdown was developed which
delineates types and quantities of waste oils. This is presented in
Table 14. The term "variable waste oils" refers to those oils which
waste oils haulers presently collect on a highly irregular basis. The
breakdown into waste crankcase, fuel and industrial oil subcategories is
for preliminary design purposes only and was determined based on sub-
jective impressions due to actual haulers. Other waste oil sources
were known to exist (due primarily to the state-of-the-art review).
Such a category was included for preliminary design purposes at 10 percent
of the total quantity of crankcase, industrial, and variable waste oils;
again, the subcategorical breakdowns are for preliminary design purposes.
Using the general design criteria and waste oil generation estimates
presented above, an actual processing facility was specified and subjected
to a preliminary design analysis. The following report subsections out-
line the rationale for such a facility as well as present summary equip-
ment listings and cost estimates. These data are used in the overall
economic analysis of Section VIII of this Report.
PROCESS SELECTION
Plant design and the specification of unit operations depend critically
on the expected flow(s) for the process in question and the stipulation
to produce, principally, fuel oil. Traditionally, in the petro-chemical-
process industries, economic and marketing factors serve to delineate
(within relatively narrow boundaries) a "desirable" plant capacity; the
plant is then designed using this capacity or throughput as a basis.
Unfortunately, such an approach is not directly applicable to the
comprehensive re-refining of waste oils on a State-wide basis.

-------
A major portion of the study, which is the subject of this Report, was
devoted to characterization of the waste oils generated in the State of
Maryland. However, the preliminary design of this section necessarily
had to take place in parallel with the waste oil generation studies.
Waste oil generation and characterization data was, therefore, assumed for
design purposes, and later verified. These estimates related primarily
to:
1. The gross amount of waste oil generated annually
in the State of Maryland;
2. The general physical-chemical characteristics of
waste oils;
3. Expected variations in waste oil as received at the
plant or in demand for products due to seasonal or
other factors;
4. Processability of the various types of waste oils; and
5. Contaminants in the waste oils as related to process
plant pollution control activities.
Some of the points above would be put in much better perspective by
actually operating the storage-collection phase of the program, and
subsequently, a reduced-scale reprocessing facility. Results inconsistent
with the assumptions and estimates used in the preliminary design will
be reconsidered in the final design. This will consist of adjusting
the design to more realistic flow and processing estimates.
Point #4, above, must be amplified considerably before a final plant
design is attempted. The preliminary design as presented involves a
number of assumptions relating to waste oil processability. Although
the best available data on waste oil re-refining has been used in
estimating process and unit operation performance, actual sampling and
benchwork characterization, and process testing are required to provide
a more secure base for final design. Techniques must also be developed
to permit process adjustment on seasonal and year-to-year bases; this
is primarily a matter of routine process testing.
Point #5 (pollution control activities) is a matter of availability of
technical solutions and legal requirements. Although there is still some
doubt, in a technical sense, that unprocessable waste oils and process
residues can be disposed in an ultimate, acceptable fashion, the
preliminary design presented here considers ultimate waste disposal by
isolation, concentration, and reduction of basic wastes to levels suitable
for land disposal or recovery of metals by others.
Before the ultimate disposal processes are the subject of final design,
two basic actions should take place: 1) further study of ultimate
disposal alternatives in terms of both feasibility and potential
conformance to pollution control requirements and 2) perhaps more
45
-------
importantly, detailed and exact delineation of the pollution control
requirements which will apply to the entire process plant. The latter
must be part of the full-scale final design.
The preceding paragraphs do not imply that additional studies on
processability and ultimate disposal will lead to as secure design data
as that often used in the chemical process industries. Since feedstock
characteristics cannot be specified for a comprehensive waste oil disposal
facility as they can and are for both chemical process plants and
existing waste oil refineries, extensive actual experience provides
the only definitive means to determine both the quality and quantity of
waste oil in the State of Maryland. Data from actual operations can
serve as base for modification of both operations and hardware at an
existing waste disposal facility. Of course, similar data will be
gathered by instituting a waste oil collection and holding system with-
out an actual processing capability; such an approach will be more
realistic than results obtained only through surveys and sampling/
analysis programs.
The existing waste oil re-refining literature, present re-refining
practices, and ongoing research and development provided a host of unit
processes with potential for the MES waste oil recovery facility. How-
ever, many process approaches were considered only briefly because they
were speculative and could not be implemented quickly, i.e., on the
order of a year. Those processes which were deemed potentially useful
are presented in Table 15. The basic function of each process is briefly
described and the "product" oil resulting from each is delineated. Note
that these unit processes aim at recovery, not ultimate disposal which
will be considered later in this section. Unit operations were included
in the tabulation based on general applicability to re-refining as well
as knowledge of some working experience.
A number of these particular unit processes must be combined into
appropriate process trains to yield a technique(s) which will allow the
recovery of product from waste oils. Not all the unit processes need
be included in a given process plant since some perform similar functions.
Selection of a particular approach must be based on the principle of
"best practice" which, in turn, must consider:
1) Necessity -- If there is no viable alternative
to a particular unit process, it must be included
in a re-refining scheme. Of the unit processes
being considered here, only flash distillation
and filtration are in essence necessary. Each
other can, in principle, be replaced by an alternate
unit process.
2) Proven Performance -- Certain of the unit processes
have been amply demonstrated in actual re-refining
operations, and this was considered to be a positive
attribute. Settling, flash distillation, sulfuric
acid treatment, solvent extraction, adsorbent

-------
treatment, fractionation and filtration possess
this attribute in a general sense.
3) Capital Cost -- Low initial investment is desirable
for any unit process. For example, settling,
stripping, chemical treatment, sulfuric acid
treatment, solvent extraction and adsorbent
treatment involve lower capital cost than
distillation.
4) Operating Costs -- Low operating costs are also
to be desired. Settling, flash distillation,
chemical treatment, sulfuric acid treatment,
fractionation, solvent extraction and adsorbent
treatment were compared in this regard.
5) Commerci a 1 Avai1 abi1ity -- Equipment and techniques
should preferably be available commercially (off-the-
shelf) in order to facilitate rapid implementation
of a waste oil re-refining program. Special
fabrication of process equipment can be expensive
and time-consuming. Of the unit processes
considered, only hydrofining has no commercial
source with regard to re-refining waste oils.
6) Process Yield -- Large quantities of wastes or
residue from a unit process are undesirable.
Only sulfuric acid treatment, filtration and
vacuum distillation present significant
difficulties in this regard.
7) Product Purity -- Considered in and of itself, a
unit process should potentially yield a product
which requires little or no further treatment.
In a general sense, settling and flash distillation
cannot usually meet this criteria, while centri-
fugation and chemical treatment are somewhat
unreliable (i.e., may or may not be adjustable to
give a relatively pure product depending on a
number of critical variables).
8) W i de App1i c a b i1i ty -- Capability of re-refining
many types of waste oils is a desirable quality
for not only a comprehensive treatment facility
but also individual unit processes. Centrifugation,
sulfuric acid treatment, vacuum distillation and
hydrofining are generally highly specific in their
ability to successfully process waste oils and,
therefore, are deficient with regard to the
criteria of wide application.
48
-------
9. Energy Requirements -- All other factors being
equal, a unit operation should require a low
power input. In a general sense, this is nothing
more than a requirement for a minimum energy
demand by a facility.
Each of the above criteria plus more specific technical considerations
were applied to each of the unit operations. A detailed summary of
these evaluations is presented as Appendix D of this Report. Ratings
of all the unit operations based on the evaluations led to the selection
of the following for inclusion in the preliminary design of an MES waste
oil processing facility:
1) Chemical Treatment
2) Settling
3) Flash Distillation
4) Adsorbent Treatment
5) Solvent Extraction
6) Filtration
Chemical treatment is presently under development and being used in a
limited way; minimal effort should be required, with the assistance of
chemical process research laboratories, in providing a treatment scheme(s)
with direct application to a range of waste oils. Settling, stripping,
and filtration are almost immediately applicable for use on any waste
oil since they are state-of-the-art techniques across the existing re-
refining industry. Adsorbent treatment is of a similar nature as long
as clay is the adsorbent material; due to problems with ultimate disposal
and regeneration of spent clay, other adsorbents (e.g., activated carbon)
should be looked at carefully before a final design is committed
irrevocably to its use. Clay which has been used for polishing an oil
and subsequently fired to remove hydrocarbons is, however, generally
amenable to successful storage and/or reuse. Of the unit processes
selected, solvent extraction is certainly the most speculative. However,
solvents like pentane and naphtha are used routinely in waste oil laboratory
analyses for insolubles, and propane is being used in full-scale operations.
Therefore, at least for the production of fuel oils, solvents are available
which can successfully partition contaminants and oils.
ULTIMATE DISPOSAL
Ultimate disposal of process residues and non-recoverable waste oils is
an area which has traditionally presented most operational problems in
49
-------
the re-refining industry. Ultimate waste disposal must be as efficient
and environmentally sound as operations used in the rest of the
processing facility. Table 16 lists the various unit operations and
the wastes generated by each. Table 17 lists possible approaches to
ultimate waste disposal. Option one is the most comprehensive and would
put the most control over the disposal system in the hands of the State.
Although capital costs would be much higher than for the other five
techniques, this approach would:
1. Minimize the environmental impact of ultimate
disposal;
2. Produce concentrated, relatively pure residual
wastes which could be disposed of with relative
ease;
3. Place ultimate disposal practices primarily under
the aegis of the processing facility;
4. Vastly increase the flexibility of the facility for
comprehensive waste oil recovery/disposal; and
5. Do away with any possible oil pollution problems due
to process residues.
With the above factors in mind as well as the availability of incineration
and stack gas scrubbing equipment, total incineration (Option One) was,
therefore, selected for preliminary design purposes.
FACILITY DESIGN
The factors (general and technical) just considered lend themselves to
overall ratings of unit processes. The pertinent evaluations are presented
in Appendix D of this Report. Such evaluations facilitate the selection
of particular approaches to be used in a full-scale process plant. The
weighting of various factors was subject to judgment but provides a
guideline for process selection.
Consideration of the unit processes called out in previous subsections plus
their evaluation ratings led to the selection of processes to be included
in the MES facility design. These selections are discussed briefly in
the paragraphs which follow.
Settling was selected for the WORRP facility based primarily on proven
performance, low capital cost, ease of implementation, and wide
applicability for waste oils. This unit process would be used as a first
treatment step in most re-refining schemes. Its major disadvantage is
lack of product purity; that is, in its own right settling does not
usually result in a product suitable for use as a fuel oil, let alone
a lubricating oil or lube base stock.

-------
Centrifugation has not been included in the facility design due to high
capital, operating and maintenance costs as well as lack of proven
performance in the waste oil processing field. With settling available
as a more straightforward option, it is suggested (even though centrifugation
may give somewhat better separation of BS&W from waste oil) that
centrifugation not be considered further until more favorable development
work or data is forthcoming.
Flash distillation is required for the proposed MES facility as well as
almost any other processing scheme. Given existing technology, it provides
the most straightforward manner for removing light hydrocarbon contaminants
and residual water from waste oil feedstocks. The performance of this
unit process has been proven in the existing re-refining industry, and
capital and operating costs are reasonable. In general, however, product
purity is such that direct use is not recommended and energy requirements
can be very significant.
Although existing practice has shown that sulfuric acid treatment of
waste oils can lead to excellent product quality, relatively low process
yields (especially for fuel oil production which is the main concern
here) and almost intractable residue problems lead to a firm recommenda-
tion against use of this process in the proposed MES facility.
Chemical treatment is a viable alternative to sulfuric acid treatment for
the production of fuel oils. Although demulsifiers, flocculating aids,
contaminant oxidizers and conditioning reagents (e.g., caustics) are
available commercially, chemical treatment, of waste oils has not yet been
demonstrated on a large scale. However, low capital and operating costs,
high product yields, potential wide application, low energy requirements,
and, especially, low residue production make chemical treatment an
attractive choice for a waste oil processing facility involved primarily
in fuel oil production.
Vacuum distillation is a proven unit process in the waste oil re-refining
industry. However, problems with high capital cost, lack of applicability
to waste oils over a wide enough range, maintenance, and large amounts of
residue or still bottoms weighed against including it in the MES facility
design at this time. However, for the production of lubricating oils,
vacuum distillation is an extremely promising unit process based on
eventually following it with an appropriate finishing process (See the
following paragraph). In a comprehensive facility it is necessary to
process waste oils containing large amounts of liquid additives (e.g.,
chlorinated oils or silicones). On these bases, vacuum distillation was
not selected for the preliminary design.
Since it aims primarily at finished lube oil production, involves high
capital cost and has not been demonstrated in actual re-refining
operations, hydrofining was not included in the preliminary design.
However, this unit process has great promise and combined with pre-
treatment such as vacuum distillation should eventually lead to the
53
-------
production of high quality lube base stocks from waste (primarily
crankcase) oils. For fuel oil production, however, hydrofining was
deemed too advanced a processing technique. Development efforts in
the months and years ahead could alter this view significantly.
Like vacuum distillation, solvent extraction has been demonstrated in
full-scale operations although not specifically for fuel oil production.
Use of pentane, heptane or solvent-grade naphtha rather than propane
should be suitable for fuels. Since a comprehensive waste oil processing
facility will have to deal with oils containing large quantities of bulk
liquid additives, a process like solvent extraction which can partition
these additives from the recoverable oil is necessary. Since no other
alternative for this operation was available within the existing tech-
nology, solvent extraction was selected for preliminary design purposes.
Capital and operating costs can be high for solvent extraction relative
to a unit process like distillation. Product yield may also be less than
that used for preliminary design purposes. Energy requirements for
solvent extraction are high relative to flash distillation due to the
necessity of solvent recovery. However, without a viable alternative,
solvent extraction is included in the preliminary design despite these
facts.
Although adsorbent treatment (given that a destructible adsorbent like
activated carbon cannot be used) results in a residue production problem,
other factors relating to this unit process are favorable enough to
weigh in its favor. For instance, the performance of adsorbent (clay)
treatment has been widely demonstrated, capital costs are low and
implementation should be very straightforward. Furthermore, used
adsorbent if incinerated properly presents minimal landfill disposal
problems; the oily sludge accompanying the adsorbent is the real pollution
problem and, if burned off, leaves no significant contaminants, according
to present industrial practice.
Filtration is included in the preliminary design to remove not only
spent adsorbent but also flocculated/agglomerated contaminants from the
product fuel oil. Rotary vacuum filters have been demonstrated for large-
scale, continuous operation in the waste oil processing industry.
Although capital cost, operating cost and residue production are high
for this unit process, it must necessarily be included in the preliminary
design, given the solids which must be removed to yield an acceptable
product oil.
Each unit process removes contaminants which are, basically:
1. Gross water, coarse solids and other materials
heavier than oil, i.e., BS&W or setteable materials
(by settling);
2. Light ends, naphtha and water, i.e., relatively
volatile materials (by flash distillation);
54
-------
3. Acidic compounds, additives and contaminants
stabilized in solution and suspension, including
nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and metal containing
organic compounds (by adsorbent treatment and
solvent extraction);
4. Odor and color bodies (by adsorbent treatment); and
5. Suspended and colloidal solids (by filtration).
The proposed waste oil re-refining process involves two basic process
trains:
1. Adsorption treatment - chemical treatment-settling-
flash distillation-adsorbent treatment-filtration.
2. Solvent treatment - chemical treatment-settling-flash
distillation-solvent extraction.
The first of these serves as a fairly standard waste oil treatment
procedure. Primarily, it can treat waste crankcase and industrial oils
which contain the usual contaminants handled in the re-refining industry
but not waste oils composed of large amounts of bulk liquid additives.
The solvent extraction train is meant to handle oils "contaminated" in
the latter fashion. That is, light hydrocarbon solvent(s) serves to
partition liquid additives from the recoverable oil.
These two trains can be termed adsorbent treatment and solvent treatment
respectively. Distinctive elements of each may be included in the other
to enhance results in a practical situation; this is a requirement for
nothing more or less than process plant flexibility.
Figure 3 illustrates these two basic process trains and represents a
simplified version of the process flowsheet which is presented in the
Preliminary Design Report. In terms of the processing estimates which
are presented below, these two main subsections can be considered to
provide a) standard, b) adjusted, or c) special processing. Standard
processing refers basically to adsorbent treatment. Adjusted processing
refers basically to adsorbent treatment with either treatment conditions
or reagents adjusted beyond what is necessary for the common waste crank-
case oils; adsorbent treatment preceded by a rough solvent extraction
could also be included in this processing category. Special processing

refers to the basic solvent extraction treatment train. Other variations
(based on variation of individual unit operations) are possible but the
above suffices for preliminary design purposes.
The adsorbent treatment train involves reagent addition to a feed waste
oil stream of 27,000 GPD. Approximately 450 GPD of reagents, including
caustic conditioner, demulsifiers, and flocculants, are added. A heated
(200°F) process tank (reactor/settler) serves both as a mixing and a
settling vessel for the conditioned waste oil; 1,800 GPD of BS&W results
from the settling process and subsequently must be incinerated. The oil
from reaction/settling is heated (450°F) and sent to a tower where naphtha
and water still contaminating the oil are flash distilled and, sub-
sequently, either incinerated or used profitably (possibly the case for
the naphtha). The oil from the flash tower is then heated further
(550°F) and pumped to an adsorbent contactor where it is mixed with 500
GPD of adsorbent and carrier oil slurry; in the case of clay adsorbent,
this slurry volume contains about 3.-6 TPD of clay. The adsorbent serves
to remove acidic compounds, additives, and contaminants in small quantities
as well as some odor and color bodies. After adsorbent treatment the
oil is filtered yielding 24,900 GPD of product oil and about 150 GPD of
oily adsorbent cake. Filtration serves to remove not only the adsorbent
but also the flocculated, relatively neutral-density solids formed in
the reactor settler.
The solvent treatment subsection involves the same type processing as
for adsorbent treatment up to the point where solvent extraction takes
place. First, 800 GPD additive reagents are mixed with 24,000 GPD of
feed waste oil. Reaction settling then results in 3,400 GPD of BS&W.
Flash distillation follows, yielding 1,400 GPD of water and light ends
(or naphtha). Solvent extraction (at about 110°F) follows that and
results in 1,800 GPD of process sludge or bottoms which must be stripped
first of residual solvent and then disposed of by incineration. The
oil/solvent mixture from the extractor is then subjected to a simple
fractionation process to recover 21,900 GPD of solvent overheads and
about 18,500 GPD of product oil.
The schematics for the two subsections represent simplifications of the
flowsheet for the complete process plant. The flow values are approx-
imate and include adjustment for relatively minor factors like vapor
losses and adsorbent carrier oil. For a complete materials work-up and
detailed flowsheet the Preliminary Design Report for the Project should
be consulted.
The previous report subsection outlined the selection of complete
incineration for non-recoverable waste oils and process residues. The
flowsheet, Figure 4, illustrates this plant subsection. The basis for
the simple incineration subsection design was 6,000 GPD of waste oil
requiring only dust collection on the exit gases to assure that no visible
emission occurs. The controlled incineration subsection is based on
8,400 GPD of waste oil burned directly plus 8,300 GPD of BS&W, water,

light ends and vapors from the processing subsections; this total
16,700 GPD of wastes can be highly contaminated and, therefore, must be
subject to strict pollution control during processing as is discussed
briefly in the following paragraph. Note that the BS&W, water, etc.
indicated in Figure 3 total to 150 GPD more than that fed to controlled
incineration; this difference is accounted for by naphtha which is used
as process fuel or sold as product. Complete material balances are not
presented for the incineration subsections since they should be developed
during the final design in conjunction with equipment suppliers.
Simple incineration applies to oils or residues which are not contaminated
with heavy metals, fine particulates, sulfur or ha!ides but yet cannot
be turned reasonably into a valuable product; such material can be
burned directly with only simple dust collection from the stack gases.
Some waste edible oils as well as materials like fuel oil tank slops
would be amenable to such treatment. Contaminated oils and residues will
have to be burned under closely controlled conditions. Heavy metal
particulates, sulfur dioxide, and halides (primarily chloride) will have
to be scrubbed from the controlled incinerator's stack gases and
recovered as a particulate sludge, calcium sulfate, and calcium chloride,
respectively. These materials can be disposed of to the heavy metals
industry, landfill and chemical industry, used for snow melting, disposed
of on land, etc.
Table 18 gives estimates of stream-day flows for feed waste oils based
on the processing categories discussed above. "Other Disposal" primarily
refers to sale of special waste oils (e.g., oil-based paint pigment or
insecticide) to other parties. Whereas Table 13 presented quantities of
waste oil entirely in terms of source category, Table 17 lists them by
processing categories; the latter is necessary as a feedstock base for
calculations in preliminary design. Note also that plant operation is
expected to involve approximately 330 stream-days per year of operation
at 24 hours per day. Thus an effective (complete facility) down time
of 35 days has been alloted for major repairs and maintenance.
FACILITY TANK FARM
The preliminary design of the MES waste oil processing facility includes
considerable attention to oil storage. Receiving tanks and product oil
storage tanks were included in the design considerations. The Preliminary
Design Report contains detailed justification for such tankage. The
following paragraphs outline briefly the rationales for tankage as well
as the gross results from the design effort.
Receiving facilities must consider the regularity with which oils can
be delivered to the plant, daily (statistical) variations in quantities
received as well as seasonal variations. Estimates of these factors
led to 4 main receiving tanks at 70,000 total gallons to receive 66,000
gallons of waste oil per day. Similar considerations led to a

specification for 23 primary waste oil feedstock tanks of 1,185,000
gallons. Since reaction/settling in the process plant is a batchwise
operation, 4 tanks of 145,000 total gallons are also required to hold
the effluent from the reactor/settlers. Note that the above number
and volume of tanks are in line with existing re-refining practice.
Product tank requirements are set mainly by product demand schedules.
Since the proposed facility was designed to be used primarily for fuel
oil production, seasonal demand for fuel oil should determine the
necessary extent of product storage facilities. Although the State of
Maryland may be the sole buyer for the plant's product, fuel oil demand
in the Baltimore-Washington area provided a reasonable base for preliminary
design estimates. Ten product tanks were deemed necessary at 9,850,000
gallons based entirely on an analysis of fuel oil demand. Three of these
tanks are for product cutter stock used in blending to meet specifications.
LAND REQUIREMENTS
Land for the proposed waste oil processing facility must be allocated to
the basic tank farm (storage and holding), receiving tankage, the two
treatment subsections, the incineration system, plant buildings and
parking, and road and rail access.
Table 19 lists the preliminary land estimates for these elements. Note
that the various tankage requirements account for about one-third of the
land area. For preliminary purposes, about 5/8 acre has been included for
possible future expansion, outdoor storage and contingency. Space has
also been allotted for boundary clearance with adjoining property; this
is critical for tanks holding flammable liquids and for process equipment
which presents a potential fire hazard. In-plant clearance between sub-
sections and installations is also necessary. American Petroleum
Institute Standards for oil storage tanks cover such considerations in
detail and should be used for final design.

The above considerations may eventually prove crucial due to high land
costs. Since land involves more general econonic and political consider-
ations, its cost has not been included in the capital cost estimates
developed here.
COST ESTIMATES
Table 21 is an estimate of the capital cost for the entire processing
section of the proposed facility. This capital cost is used as an input
to Section VIII on program economics.
Table 20 contains a tabulated summary of preliminary cost estimates for
the process equipment discussed in the previous sections. These
estimates are arranged in four groups corresponding to the four major
processing subsections. It should be noted that the incineration sub-
section requires a large portion of the total capital cost which could
even be larger if more sophisticated air pollution control systems
eventually prove necessary (e.g., a baghouse as opposed to a venturi
scrubber for particulates removal). The other major subsection in terms
of cost is represented by the reactor/settler tanks; final design should
devote considerable effort to reduce its cost. For instance, if standard
carbon steel tankage could be used for this purpose as opposed to
agitated, heater reactors, a major cost savings would be achieved. The
adsorption treatment and solvent extraction subsections are nominal in
terms of relative cost and, therefore, probably cannot be the object
of major cost savings efforts (Additional details are included in
Appendix D).
A summary of tank cost for a full-scale tank farm is shown in Tables
22 and 23. These costs relate directly to the discussion of the facility
tank farm and, again, are detailed in entirety in the Preliminary Design
Report.
Tables 24 and 25 are summaries of preliminary capital cost estimates for
the small or first-stage base plant. This facility has a processing
capacity of 22,000 GPD of waste oil plus an additional 8,400 GPD inciner-
ation capacity. That is, the incinerator subsections are the same as for
the full-scale plant while the other equipment has been selected from
that of the full-scale facility so as to provide a representative
processing capability. This plant, therefore, can serve as a first-stage
facility in the eventual development of a full-scale, comprehensive process
plant and program.

to process streams as a carrier fluid for reagents and adsorbent and 2)
used as in-plant process fuel.
As mentioned previously, basic products which will be produced by the
plant include fuels, lubricants and solvents (naphtha/light ends). The
fuels are primarily heating grade oils — #4 and #5. Number 6 heating
oil may be produced in small quantities depending on the viscosity of
the waste oil feedstocks. Additionally, approximately 1,500 GPD of
lubricants (including hydraulic oils and motor oils) could be produced
in small quantities by processing of waste crankcase oils. For
preliminary purposes, only 500,000 gallons per year should be allocated
to lube oil products; larger amounts of lube oil production would be
more than Maryland State Agencies could reasonably accommodate. Small
amounts of solvents also will be produced as a byproduct. Essentially,
these originate from gasoline dilution of crankcase oil, solvent
contamination of industrial oils, and the effects of adsorbent treatment
on waste oils.

SECTION VII
COSTS OF SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES
INTRODUCTION
The mathematical techniques presented in Appendix K (the Cash Flow,
Revenue, and Profit Model) and the values for the parameters shown in
the tables of Appendix L were utilized to generate the costs, revenues
received, cash flow, and cost per gallon of product for twenty alter-
native plant and operating conditions. These include:
1. Two different types of plant -- mechanical-chemical and
vacuum distillation;
2. Two methods of financing -- total amortization and equity
financing;
3. Three modes of payment for the waste oils collected and
delivered to the plant --
a) The source or collector is paid 2
-------
As the plants could be financed by either the State or private industry
at variable rates, two financing alternatives were considered: 100
percent financing at 7.25 percent and 100 percent capitalization,
requiring zero financing. This comparison gives information on the
effect of interest rate on the unit cost of the product.
The price of the waste oil feed to the plant is important in evaluating
overall plant economics. To determine the impact on the profit picture,
the cost of the waste oil and feed, and a potential subsidy by the State,
a broad range of values were compared. To reflect having to pay the
collectors 2
-------
Comparisons of Case II and Case III conditions indicate the need to con-
sider every advantage possible for more effective and less costly operation
of the plant. This operating program results in a significant net profit
before taxes.
CASE III -- MECHANICAL-CHEMICAL PLANT
Case III is the contrary of Case II, i.e., more pessimistic assumptions
were made that would severely penalize the operation of the facility from
a cost and revenue point of view, in order to indicate the vulnerability of
the program to sustain large losses if several of the significant variables
are adversely affected by mismanagement. The quantity of waste oil pro-
cessed is 18,000,000 gpy. These constraints result in substantial financial
loss.
CASE IV - MECHANICAL-CHEMICAL PLANT
To determine the impact of financing on the cost per gallon of product pro-
duced, Case I was re-run with 100 percent equity capital, i.e., zero financing
costs for plant construction capital needs. The subsidies in this case result
in a favorable net profit before taxes.
CASE V -- MECHANICAL-CHEMICAL PLANT
Recent unpublished research results indicate the potential for sale of process
bottoms for a value approximately equivalent to costs for hauling to a dis-
posal site. Full-scale application of such research results would have the
effect of eliminating significant load to the proposed plant incinerators and
could permit elimination of one of the two incinerators. Accordingly, Case
I was run with only one incinerator. The effect of this modification is
only moderate compared to the losses sustained in Case I.
CASE VI — VACUUM DISTILLATION-HYDROFINING
Information was made available to this program through the Environmental
Protection Agency describing a concept utilizing vacuum distillation followed
by hydrofining for product polishing. Information was available related to
cost and revenue data for a 29,000,000 gallon per year capacity plant.
The concept was "normalized" to 30,000,000 gallons per year in order to
permit analysis under the same conditions as in Cases VII and VIII, and pro-
vision was made for additional storage tanks and an incinerator. The
additional waste oil over that projected to be available within the State
of Maryland (8 million gpy) was assumed to be available from neighboring
states, and the out-of-state supply was assumed to consist of only recover-
able oils. Non-recoverable oils were to remain within the source states
for ultimate disposal.
Since the State of Maryland currently has a need for fuel oil, the analysis
assumed that the plant was constrained to produce half fuel oil and half
lube oil stock. Also, the plant was assumed to be installed and operated
by private investors, but with 100 percent financing. Accordingly, various
State and local taxes were ascribed to the operating costs.
74
-------
CASE VII -- EXPANDED MECHANICAL-CHEMICAL PLANT
The concept of mechanical-chemical unit processes for waste oil recovery
results in high flexibility for accommodating a wide variability in
quality of feedstock, and producing a wide variety of products. Such
a plant would utilize a proportionately larger number of personnel and
result in higher operating costs than other systems. However, for the
sizes of plant considered and with full use of automation, the plant
capacity could be significantly increased without adding any additional
personnel.
Accordingly, the plant capacity was increased to 30 million gpy with
associated increased capital costs and variable operating expenses,
but the number of plant personnel was kept constant. As in Case VI,
it was stipulated that such a plant would be installed with private
capital, would be taxed, and the 80,000,000 additional gallons of
feedstock were assumed to consist of recoverable waste oils only.

-------
$0.20 per gallon (Case I) while the expanded plant produced fuel
at a breakeven price of $0.15 per gallon (Case VII). While some
of the observed reduction is due to the receipt of "preferred"
feedstock, the dramatic drop in cost is also a function of the fact
that fixed operating costs are now spread over 50 percent greater
volume of throughput. The formulation for breakeven price does not
include revenues from sales of product and, therefore, is a function
largely of system costs. This indicates that a regional plant
could result in greater cost efficiencies, since available feed-
stock volumes would be greater.
Initial Cost of Plant
The initial cost of the mechanical-chemical plant is $5.7 million
at the nominal capacity of 20 mgy. This is reflected in the impact
of cost of investment capital. At the same rates of interest, the
effect on the cost of the products produced is approximately 1.25
to 1.40
-------
is approximately 3
-------
The vacuum distillation plant cannot handle as broad a spectrum of
waste oils as the mechanical-chemical plant. Its overall process
plant efficiency is only 0.757 compared to that of 0.775 in Case I.
Conversely, the effect of the "selective" grades of oil is to increase
the expanded mechanical-chemical plant efficiency to 0.834, a 7.6
percent increase over Case I and 10 percent increase over Case VI.
The impact is such that even though the construction costs are
higher for the expanded Case VII plant than for the Case I plant,
the average breakeven sales price is 5<£ per gallon less for the
big plant.
It therefore becomes important to optimize the degree of segregation
of waste oil types to the point where the plant efficiency is
maximized without an undue penalty with respect to the costs for
segregation.
8. Price of Product
The impact of the price which may be charged for the product is
reflected directly on the net profit before taxes. A three-cent
increase in fuel oil prices will result in substantial increases
in profits. This can be seen by comparing Cases VII and VIII.
Product value will make the difference between a plant being
profitable and requiring a subsidy, in almost all cases.
9. Type of Product
The alternatives which have been considered do not provide a ready
comparison between lube oil and fuel oil production. Although
base lube oil stock has a considerably higher market value than an
equivalent volume of fuel oil, a giyen process plant can produce
less lube oil than it can fuel oil. That is, lube oil production
efficiency is significantly less than that for fuel oil.
Lube oil is about 64 percent more valuable than fuel oil. Shifting
the proposed MES waste oil processing facility to predominantly
lube oil production could lead to an increase in net profit. This
is partially borne out by comparing Cases VI and VII. Production
of lube oil would require an increased capital expenditure for the
mechanical-chemical plant.
In summary, cost centers have been identified and sensitivity analyses
have been performed. These have helped in the design of the Waste Oil
Recovery System. As many "cost centers" as possible should be further
identified and additional sensitivity analyses should be performed to
determine the greatest positive impact on the cost of producing various
products as the program proceeds from one phase to next utilizing the
data developed from the program itself.
79
-------
In addition to the above effects on waste oil recovery and reuse programs,
the positive impact of the program on cleanup costs for spilled crankcase
or industrial lubricating oils should be discussed.
Data on frequency, type, and size of oil spills were provided by the
Maryland Port Authority for oil spill recovery operations over a 16-
month period. The cost of cleaning up these various sources and
quantities of oil is of the order of approximately $200,000 per year,
or almost $14 per gallon.
On the basis that approximately 50 percent of the oil spills may be
convenience or unknown spills (i.e., the source has no disposal site or
does not wish to pay for disposal), this amounts to a sum of $100,000
per year that can be saved. If the basis of 50 percent is correctj
this amount, if ascribed to the processing plant, could have an impact
up to 0.8£ per gallon on products produced.
It can be assumed that an MES waste oil and recovery and reuse program
that includes permit requirements, monitoring and compliance programs,
plus the various incentives which may possibly be associated with WORRP,
will practically eliminate the convenience spills as a means of waste
oil disposal.
80
-------
SECTION VIII
LEGISLATIVE AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT NEEDS
In order to ensure a cost effective and efficiently operated system, it
will be necessary for the State of Maryland to initiate the waste oil
recovery and reuse program and to play a continuing role in it. Specif-
ically, the role is defined as follows:
1. To ensure that all sources of waste oil are collected
and accounted for, to the maximum extent possible;
2. To the maximum extent possible, ensure that all collected
waste oils are delivered .to an MES facility, or a State-
approved facility in Maryland, or a facility outside the
State approved by the receiving state;
3. To implement a continuing management function, including
permits, monitoring, and possibly financing;
4. To require that all waste oils delivered are reprocessed
or disposed of in an environmentally acceptable manner; and
5. To participate financially to the extent necessary and
reasonable to attract private investment.
In general, the legislation exists which will permit the implementation
of a waste oil recovery and reuse program. However, some revisions to
certain regulations will be required in order to result in an effective
program. These requirements are as follows:
1. To ensure that all sources of waste oil are collected and
accounted for —
The Maryland State Department of Natural Resources, in Section II.A of
Rules and Regulations, 08.05.04.02, already has sufficient authority to
require all those engaged in oil collection, storage, transport, repro-
cessing, and marketing to obtain a "permit" to operate.
Unless given a rigorous interpretation, Section II.B may be ambiguous
for oil collection and transfer, in that it requires an owner or operator
to be "adequately equipped to prevent oil pollution and to control oil
spills, and has the capability to handle oil in accordance with this
regulation and without discharge into waters of the State".
The interpretation or rewrite of this section of the regulations should
include provisions for reporting and delivery to an MES facility or other
81
-------
approved facility (i.e., by other State agencies) and to have adequate
spill protection and cleanup at all transfer points (even truck-to-truck).
In partial fulfillment of requirements for a "permit", a collector should
be required to maintain detailed records of his collections and to pro-
vide MES with any requisite data on a regular basis.
In order to verify the accuracy of collection information, the numerous
sources should participate in the program also. As all sources are
involved in at least oil receiving and waste oil removal, they would
fall within the requirements of Section II.A(l) which states: "A permit
is required, in accordance with the provisions of this regulation for
the operation of an onshore facility when it involves the transfer of oil
to or from any truck, tank, transport or tank car", and Section VI(A)
which states: "This section applies to any commercial or industrial
operation involving the handling of oil regardless of the nature, size,
or location of the operation".
The existing application for an "Oil Handlers' Permit" is inadequate for
waste oil collection needs. Another permit application should be
prepared explicitly for waste oil collection, transport, storage, transfer,
data retrieval, monitoring, and compliance needs.
2. To the maximum extent possible, ensure that all collected
waste oils are delivered to an MES facility, or a State-
approved facility —
In order to justify any investment in facilities to store, process, and
dispose of waste oils, it is necessary to assure an effective use of that
investment. If construction and/or operation is based on a private
investment, then the private investor must be assured that a sufficient
quantity of feed stock (in this case, "waste oil") is available to
process into a useable product.
A State-owned and operated facility may operate at a loss on the assumption
that waste oil recovery is a State problem, equally distributed through-
out the State. Also, a loss may be assumed to be attributable to environ-
mental quality control. The loss may then be recovered by taxation or
other means for cost recovery.
Currently, it has been determined that waste oils are being collected and:
a) Delivered out-of-state for burning as a fuel oil
after having been diluted with virgin fuel oil, or
delivered directly as waste oil;
b) Burned in Maryland;
c) Used for dust control on roads and other areas;
82
-------

Burning of waste oils has received much attention in recent years.
Results of burning tests conducted for the American Petroleum Institute
in the Task Force on Used Oil Disposal indicate varied results with
regard to both burning equipment and stack emissions. Estimates of the
amount of lead in waste oil vary from about 0.8 percent to 1.2 percent.
A rule-of-thumb value developed by the Association of Petroleum Re-
Refiners as a result of sampling large quantities and ranges of types of
waste oils appears to be approximately 1000 Ibs. of lead per 10,000 gallons
of crankcase oil drainings (Association of Petroleum Re-Refiners, Letter
Report, February 11, 1970).
It appears that approximately 50 percent of the lead is emitted to the
atmosphere with the remainder in the ash or as a build-up on heat
exchange surfaces and resulting in decreased heat transfer efficiencies.
Recent tests conducted by ESSO Research and Engineering Company for the
State of Massachusetts indicate that approximately 80 percent of the
lead in the waste oil is discharged into the atmosphere (Waste Oil
Reprocessing, January 1973). Of this amount, approximately 95 percent
of the lead appeared as particulate matter and was in the sub-micron
particul ate size range. The testing program was conducted on a fire
box type boiler. It was inferred that a water tube boiler would remain
at a high efficiency longer than a fire tube boiler, but stack emissions
would be still higher from a water tube boiler due to the greater burning
efficiency.
However, the following observations may be made:
a) Waste oil is a source of energy during a period clearly
affected by petroleum products shortages;
b) Direct burning of waste oils with large volumes of virgin
products may not result in unacceptable environmental
effects in certain areas;
c) Adverse effects on burner equipment of diluted waste oils
may be acceptable from a maintenance point of view ;
d) Burning facilities equipped with adequate air-cleaning
systems will be able to utilize waste oils without
adverse environmental effects;
83
-------
e) All types of burning equipment cannot utilize waste oils
because of detrimental effects on the equipment and
because of emissions of heavy metals; and
f) Without adequate air cleaning equipment, fallout of
heavy metals and subsequent assimilation may result in
an environmental health hazard.
In order to control the sale of contaminated waste oil as a fuel oil
without the knowledge of the specific customer, the customer must be
informed by the supplier that the material being received is fuel
containing a stipulated fraction of waste oil.
The customer should be informed because the waste oil or waste oil mix-
tures may cause operating difficulties in burners and result in increased
maintenance requirements, and heavy metal emissions may result from
improperly controlled stacks.
Burning tests and evaluations should be pursued as an alternative for
waste oil disposal.
Controls for Out-of-State Shipments
Shipping out-of-State may be permitted by Maryland if the interstate
transporter is licensed by Maryland, and if the means for processing,
handling, and disposition are also approved by the receiving state.
Transfer points or temporary storage or transfer facilities should like-
wise be suitably licensed. Furthermore, as a permit condition, all
collectors must agree to pick up all sources of waste oils, and all long-
distance waste oil haulers must also agree to transport all the classes
of waste that are picked up by the local collectors. Failure to comply
could be controlled by provision for revocation of an operator permit.
If the'out-of-State shipment alternative could be applied totally for all
waste oils, the State of Maryland will have had its waste oil problem
resolved at minimum cost and with no need for any capital investment for
processing and disposal facilities.
If the out-of-State movement of waste oils is not controlled, there will
be an inadequate supply of feed stock for satisfactory operation of the
reprocessing facility, and Maryland will be forced to handle only those
sources of waste oils that require relatively more costly processing or
which must be incinerated or disposed of by other means. Additionally,
a resource is lest for reuse within the State.
If only the easily reprocessable oil is shipped out-of-State, and all the
non-recoverable oil remains within the State for handling and disposal,
the capital investment for storage, processing, and disposal facilities
will be of the order of $2 to $3 million. Unit operating costs for this
84
-------
fraction of waste oils are relatively high. Since revenues are predicated
on the sources being billed by MES for the disposal services, the State
would have to provide the identical management services for this concept
as it would for other alternatives. This cost would have to be borne by
the remaining sources, or MES would have to impose a fee on the sources
collected for out-of-State delivery. Consideration should therefore be
given to imposing a fee on all waste oils collected in Maryland and
delivered directly to out-of-State users. This fee would be used to
defray the costs for managing the entire Waste Oil Recovery and Reuse
Program.
Financial Incentives
The most effective means for insuring delivery of waste oils to a State
receiving facility is associated with financial incentives. If Maryland
would pay collectors a somewhat greater fee than could be had from out-of-
State purchasers, the waste oil supply would undoubtedly come to a Mary-
land facility. On the basis of the financial analyses performed, the
overall cost of the program will initially be greater than the various
sources of revenue expected from product sales, and this will continue to
be the case until high plant throughput is achieved.
The State could implement a subsidy philosophy through one of the following
alternatives:
a) Maryland could subsidize the program from available
funds and treat this subsidy as a cost for pollution
control and resource recovery; or
b) Maryland could impose a fee on all virgin oils
delivered within the State.
The amount of additional revenue required is dependent upon the current
development phase of the program:
Phase I -- Interim Phase - does not include a plant
for reprocessing
Phase II -- The plant is operating, but at less than
design capacity (if Phase I does not prove
adequate)
Phase III -- Plant operating at design capacity
Phase IV -- Expanded plant for greater throughput
using same administrative and operating
personnel, plus minor capital investments
During Phase I, oil is collected and delivered to an MES facility. MES
analyzes and stores the oil, and manages the overall system. The
85
-------
collected oil is sold to out-of-State re-refiners or acceptable in-State
consumers. MES pays the collectors for delivering all oils, pays for
disposal of non-recoverable oils, sells usable waste oils and bills the
various sources for disposal services of the non-recoverable fractions.
A modification of this alternative is to leave the existing system as
it is (handling largely those waste oils which have a reuse potential)
and provide a service for disposal of those waste oils which are non-
marketable by the source. However, since only a fraction of the
recoverable oils are currently being picked up, this fraction of the
resource could not be recovered.
From the data collected and the financial analyses conducted during this
study, MES would pay the collectors an average of about 2 to 3<£ per
gallon for all sources of waste oils. MES management services would
impose another 2 to 3<£ per gallon onto the costs for collection. Waste
oil can be sold to several re-refiners located within 200 miles of the
proposed central facility site for approximately 3t per gallon.
Revenues of 6 to 8i per gallon can be obtained if the waste oil can be
directly utilized as a fuel with appropriate air pollution controls.
Without direct consumption, it appears that a subsidy of 1 to 3£ per
gallon of waste oil would be required to cover all the costs for oper-
ating WORRP during the interim phase. With direct consumption as a
fuel, a subsidy may not be required.
During Phases II through IV, the financial analyses indicate a need for
additional subsidies due to the large capital investment and the number
of personnel required to operate a complete storage, processing, and
disposal complex, coupled with a relatively low volume of throughput
during the initial months of operation. It is not until the plant reaches
a capacity greater than 20 million gallons per year (in 1975) that the
need for a subsidy diminishes or disappears. (Refer to Section VII for
detailed analyses of capital and operating cash flow, costs and profits
during the various stages of the program and for various plant through-
puts.)
For example, a waste oil collection and disposal fee of 1<£ per quart on
all virgin lubricating oil sold within the State could be imposed. On
the basis of U.S. Bureau of Census data, Maryland utilized some 43
million gallons of automotive and industrial lubes during 1969. Even
with no increase this volume would produce a revenue of $1,720,000. This
study shows that this volume of virgin oil produces approximately 13
million gallons of waste oils. A modification could be 2
-------
at the outset of the WORRP, and subsidize the early phases of the
reprocessing and disposal aspects of the program.
The fee assessment method of resource recovery and pollution prevention
is operating successfully in Germany, where it was initiated in 1970.
Such a program, conducted in Maryland, could have similar benefits.
Based upon an average motorist mileage accumulation of 15,000 miles
per year, oil changes every 3,000 miles, and addition of make-up oil
every 1,000 miles, the costs to the individual motorist would be of the
order of 35
-------
Section 9 indicates that the Secretary of Natural Resources can
request a waste oil recovery program, and that costs for the
program "shall be borne by the person against whom...the order was
issued...and that the Service shall determine...the costs, rental
charges or other fees to be paid by the person to the Service."
MES would use these funds to pay the collectors directly for all
waste oils delivered to the State facility. It would replace the
fee the collector charges each source for pickup. This mode of
operation will induce the collector to pick up all oil sources and
deliver these oils to the State facility. Care must be exercised
to include specifications for waste oil quality and source
identification lest the collector mix incompatible sources or add
unwanted volumes to increase the volumes delivered.
3. To implement a continuing management function —
The activities, services and facilities which must be provided in a
total Waste Oil Recovery and Reuse Program include:
a) Collection
b) Receiving
c) Intermediate storage
d) Central storage
e) Processing
f) Product marketing
g) Non-recoverable waste oil
handling and disposal
h) Disposal of reprocessing
plant bottoms
i) Off-site process residue
disposal
j) Wastewater treatment
k) Dispatching
1) Analytical services
m) Computer operation for -
billing, processing, and
compliance
Management alternatives are presented in Table 28.
Each alternative for most of the cost centers that include private
participation requires monitoring. For example, if the collectors
get paid per gallon of waste oil, the product they deliver must be
analyzed and matched against specifications, or the original waste
oil may be diluted with water or incompatible additives.

At intermediate storage facilities, an appropriate sampling program
would have to be developed to ensure proper billing to sources and
reimbursement to collectors for delivered oil.
Each facet of the program must be analyzed from the special viewpoint
of ensuring receipt of the highest quality product possible within
the limits of the variability of the waste oils generated.
The two key areas that require further development are the analytical
techniques and computer programs.
Analytical Techniques
In all likelihood the range of quality of waste oil fron each source
would remain within reasonable limits. However, it would be-, necessary
for the collector or processor and MES to be able to document this as
the program advances due to the direct impact on reimbursement, proces-
sing parameters, products produced, volumes incinerated and the actual
billing for each source.
Each collector should utilize a field sampling kit to obtain and
analyze samples from each source for comparison with specifications
and previous pickups. This would provide a basis for expectations
for reimbursement, verification of reimbursement and focusing for
subsequent remedial or compliance actions by the source or by MES.
Sampling and/or analytical facilities are required at each storage
site for the above mentioned needs.
Each source identification and respective analysis should be logged
for subsequent comparison or reference. This can be accomplished
with the judicious use of a computer.
Computer Uses
Dispatching collectors, compliance record keeping, billing, waste
oil segregation records keeping and assessment, data processing
and plant operations, non-recoverable waste oil operating conditions,
environmental data logging, economic analyses, sensitivity analyses and
accounting are all functions which can be readily computerized.
It is necessary to be able to utilize the computer in a real time
mode such as for dispatching collectors for waste oil pickups in the
most economical sequence or time frame. It will also be invaluable
for billing purposes and for process forecasting. The judicious
use of a computer program, and systems, will minimize program costs
and personnel required for operations.

4. All waste oils are reprocessed or disposed of in an
en vironmentally-acceptab 1 e manner —
a) Use as road oil.
Tests performed by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA-R2-72-054, 1972) indicate that the use of waste
oils for road oiling results in a significant potential
for degradation of surface waters. The characteristics
of lube oils and the modifications of various additives
included in virgin lube oils are the antithesis of a
good road oil. Conclusions from the report indicate:
1) Although the road was oiled in excess of
12 years, only the top one inch of soil
had any oil penetration;
2) From on-site and lab investigations,
approximately 75 percent of the applied
oil soon leaves the road by flotation,
following precipitation; and
3) High concentrations of lead were found
in the runoff which detrimentally
affected receiving waters.
According to the Asphalt Institute, road oiling should be by the
application of:
"...heavy petroleum oil, usually a slow-curing asphalt, to
an earthen surface. Under favorable conditions, three or
more years of oiling treatments will change an earthen road
into a stable, oiled road. Repeated treatments reduce
water absorption in the subgrade to a depth sufficient to
develop a thickness of road structure that will carry
light highway traffic throughout the year..."
"The objective in all road oiling work is a firm,dustless
wearing course mat and a strong subgrade layer which will
not become saturated with water." (EPA-R2-72-054.1972).
The economics associated with road oiling indicate that it is to
the advantage of the users not to use waste oils. Since oiling
with waste oils has little if any stabilizing effect on the un-
paved road, oiling must be continued indefinitely and the roads
must be regraded often. The heavy use of this physically inferior
product and the associated labor results in more expense to the
user than using an asphaltic base oil designed for road oiling.

-------
In addition to the above, the surface water and ground water
quality may be adversely affected by unnecessary contamination by
runoff.
In conclusion, Section VII.C of Water Resources Regulation 4.02,
Prevention of Oil Pollution, should be revised to remove waste
oils "as a binder for unpaved roads".

SECTION IX
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
INTRODUCTION
This section proposes alternatives by which the State of Maryland may
proceed with a phased implementation of a waste oil recovery system to
collect, reclaim, reprocess, dispose, and market re-refined oils and by-
products. To the extent that it is practical, this system provides for
restoration of used lubricants and other oils to their original product
specifications, if this is desirable. These re-refined oils would be
distributed within the State for use both by State, county, and other-
public facilities and by private citizens, corporations, and commercial
operators.
A preliminary plan and schedule for implementation of such an oil recovery
program is included here.
The five basic alternatives shown in Figure 1 imply the setting of policy
by the State and definition by the State of those factors and parameters
of greatest significance. Briefly, those factors requiring decisions by
the State are:
1. The extent of the program,
2. Transportation (State and/or private),
3. Disposal to land, incineration or other (process residues
and/or oily wastes),
4. Road oiling with waste oils (control of composition and
physical properties),
5. Raw materials -- waste oils (Shall waste oils froir, out-
side the State be accepted at the MES Facility? Shall
the State cause all waste oil to be brought to the MES
Facility?),
6. Products (e.g., fuels vs. lubes),
7. Distribution (Shall products be used only by State
facilities? Shall they be marketed within the State
and/or externally?),
8. Marketing (Shall the MES market the products? Shall
the MES create a marketing organization? Shall the
MES put products out for bid sales? Shall the private
firms market the products?),
94

9. Operation and Management,
10. Financing, and
11. Site location.
GENERAL PROGRAM OPTIONS
Five basic options exist for implementation and they are represented by
the diagrams in Figure 1.
Option I consists of disposal of waste oils without reprocessing. The
exercise of this option requires no reprocessing facility for recovery
of fuel or lube oil base stocks. On the other hand, the fraction of
this material which is potentially recoverable is lost to reuse. This
option does require the construction of disposal facilities, e.g., for
incineration or land disposal, or management of the wastes not currently
picked up by existing haulers, e.g., burning at existing disposal sites.
Program management and partial collection and storage facets are also
required.
The Option II alternative includes all collection and management aspects
and export out of the State to existing re-refiners. It is possible to
expect revenues from the sale of waste oil to the re-refining operators.
A partial marketing program is required, and disposal along the lines
indicated for Option I is a necessity for those oils not marketable to
existing re-refiners.
Option III is the burning cf waste oil as a fuel, e.g., at existing power
plants, and the incineration or alternate disposal of waste oils. This
option preserves partial reuse of waste oil for recovery of heat value
which Option I does not. Evaluation of effects on burner equipment and
air quality standards should be given further consideration. A marketing
program to find uses for unprocessed oils is also a requirement, as well
as one of the basic Phase I needs.
Option IV, for the most part, includes the construction and operation of
processing and blending facilities ard supply of fuel oil. It appears
certain, as has been developed in Section IV, that a market exists for
use of all fuel oil products to Maryland State Government users, exclusively.
A marketing program is required. Option IV preserves the ability to
recover Ihe maximum available waste oil reuse potential and to produce
higher products, such as lube oil base stocks at a later date. A signif-
icant marketing effort will be required to dispose of higher products.
Implementation of this option will require the highest capital investment
of all the Options.
Option V requires a marketing effort directed to the major oil companies.
A disposal program is required in addition, such as that described in
Option I.
95
-------
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
A choice among the options is not required before implementation of the
program is begun. All options presented have the collection, storage,
and program management needs in common. This suggests that this portion
of the program could be pursued immediately while later phases of a poten-
tial program are being designed. As such, a collection system operation
schematic is presented in Figure 5. The compliance aspects of the
program include changes to regulations, a modified permit program, and a
logging system to maintain the required program data and information in
retrievable form. The monitoring and surveillance include analytical
activities for storage sites and collectors and the waste oil quality
verification which will determine the fate of each load collected for
any of the options. The collection system utilizes existing haulers
through a bidding process and with the use '/f the permit mechanism. The
storage system uses existing tank storage capacity on a lease basis ^fter
evaluating the current needs for storage and determining the existing
capability of tank farms to meet environmental and safety standards.
A possible implementation plan based specifically on the chemical-
physical plant design is presented in Figure 6. The plant storage
and processing facilities may proceed in three steps as indicated on the
figure. Table 28 shows plant capacity data for the various phases shown
in Figure 6.
WORRP PROCESSING AND DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
Table 30 lists 22 alternative approaches for disposal of waste oils. These
alternatives include the four basic options previously discussed. These
alternatives can be rated during evaluation of alternatives to develop a
program suitable for the State of Maryland, or any other state. Primary
advantages and disadvantages have been listed for each.
Coupled with such an evaluation, the range of products which might be
produced from a reprocessing facility (shown in Table 31) should be con-
sidered.

ACCURACY OF THE EXPRESSION FOR DISTANCE BETWEEN SOURCES
The expression for distance between sources used in the collection
model is:
(11) d
z
where: Az = The area of the collection region
mz = The number of sources in the region
This calculation assumes a row and column distribution of sources
throughout the region with equal distance between sources. The dis-
tance dz then represents the orthogonal distance between adjacent
sources. This is a conservative estimate in that it tends to over-
state the average distance between sources in a given region. The
question as to the degree to which this calculation tends to overstate
distance is of interest but is impossible to answer in the absence of
exact knowledge of the distribution of sources over the region.
However, it is possible and illuminating to calculate the degree of
overstatement in a case where the sources are spread at random over
the region in question. That is, the sources are located as if they
were dropped one at a time onto the region's surface with any source
being'as likely to land one place as another on the surface of the
region.
Under these circumstances it may be shown that the probability of two
sources being within one segment of area within the region follows
the gamma probability law such that the probability of exactly two
sources being located within a segment of area, rmi , within the
region whose total area is Ami2 is:
mzr
f(r) =
115
-------
The expected or average area containing exactly two sources may now
be determined as:
E(x) = /°f(r)dr =
on
-
m
The question now remaining is how far apart does one expect these
two sources to be within this segment of the region z. Let the
area 2Az/mz have width W and height H. Then if X represents the
distance of source one from the left side of the area and Y repre-
sents the distance from the bottom, the density functions for the
random variables X] and YI are:
W
fx <*!> •
elsewhere
fy/y,) - 1 0
-------
Define a random variable U such that U = Xo - x , the horizontal
separation between sources one and two. men by convolution:
yu) = _/JVxi)fx2(u+xi)d>
-------
In the same way, the expected square of the vertical separation
between the sources is:
E(V2) . g!
where: V = Y2 - Y]
Now, the expected distance between the sources is:
E(d)
It is known that the perimeter of a rectangle is minimized for a given
area when the length equals the width; i.e., the rectangle is a square.
Therefore, the distance E(d) will be less for a square than any other
rectangular configuration. Looking at a square then,
E(d) w ^
2 2A7
But: IT = —?
Therefore:
E(d) -V4 ? = -817 W^
z mz V mz
Thus, the expression:
overstates the average distance between sources by a factor of:
1
2/3 TsTT
1.22
or some 22 percent. Increased irregularity of distribution of sources
will increase the degree of conservatism of the estimate of dz used
in the collection model.

THE "SMALL" BASE PLANT
The full-scale processing facility which was developed conceptually during
the course of the project involves simultaneous processing of waste oils
under different treatment conditions. It also would require fairly large
capital and operating expenditures. As a possible first step in devel-
oping a full-scale processing facility, therefore, cost estimates were
made for a scaled-down facility based on:
1. Using selected elements from the full-scale plant.
2. Maintaining the same processing capabilities as the full-
scale plant but at a reduced throughput.
3. Incineration of much of the waste oils (non-recoverable)
which would have to be incinerated at a full-scale facility.
4. Reducing the necessary plant operating staff from 22 to
17 men.
5. Operating 24 hours/day for about 330 stream-days/year.
The results which follow from postulating such a reduced facility are
presented in detail in the preliminary design report. Briefly, through-
put is reduced to about 22,000 GPD of waste oil feedstock by taking this
approach. Obviously, the overall processing system is no longer compre-
hensive, and some selectivity can be manifest in accepting feedstock.
The following Tables, 33 and 34, contain brief summaries of capital cost
and net profit estimates for this "small" base plant.

SUMMARY OF COLLECTION SYSTEM RESULTS
PUP - PIP
Sensitivity analyses were run for the collection systems and transport
without intermediate storage (PUP) and with intermediate storage (PIP).
They included conditions that could be construed as "Worst" and "Best"
plus conditions that reflected "Good" engineering and institutional
judgment. Values were given for each of the elements in the total
system to reflect the above three conditions and for annual pickup
volumes of 18, 19.8, and 22 million gallons per year. These are indi-
cated in the tables preceding the respective PUP and PIP sections of
this Appendix.

PIPE LINE AND BARGE TRANSPORT OF WASTE OILS
Pipe line transport is a technically viable alternative means of trans-
porting waste oils from the intermediate storage sites to the central
processing plant. However, the transport of toxic and hazardous materials
via pipe line along with waste oil may present hazards both in cross-
contamination during segregation of the basic waste oil categories and
excessive corrosion. For example, toxic wastes could be mixed sufficiently
with crankcase oil to cause contamination of a large fraction of the
crankcase oil being moved in the same line.
An analysis may be pursued after making certain assumptions. If it is
assumed that the problem of cross-contamination is not a serious one,
and that the following conditions prevail:
1) All oily wastes are piped in same line,
2) Transport is from an intermediate site to plant,
3) Average annual system flow is 24,000,000 gallons
of all waste fluids,
4) Average length of pipeline is 50 miles,
5) Flow takes place 24 hours/day, 330 days/year,
6) Five intermediate storage sites are used with separate
lines from each to the plant, and
7) Optimum design pipe diameter is approximately 3" for
peak use in later years.
Instantaneous flow rate is 2.4'0°0»000 ||5 = 5,300,000 gallons/year/line
b ^u (610 GPH).

-------
The cost factors of Table 66 may be compared with the cost of using
long-haul trucks (6,000-gallon capacity) to accomplish the same ends
as calculated using the PIP System Model. The cost of using long-haul
trucks does not exceed 1.5<£ per gallon even using the most pessimistic
combinations of cost parameters. Thus the use of pipelines for the
transport of waste oils does not appear economical aside from other con-
siderations.
Barging is a viable transport alternative only in the case of oils
transported between the Eastern Shore region of Maryland and a reprocess-
ing plant located in the vicinity of a usable port, e.g., Baltimore. The
cost of barging should then be compared with that associated with using
long-haul trucks (6,000-gallon capacity) to transport oil between the
Eastern Shore and a plant located in, say, the Baltimore Port region.
The PIP system long-haul trucking costs for this case range from about
1<£ per gallon under the best estimate combination of cost parameters to
over 4<£ per gallon using the most pessimistic combinations of cost para-
meters. These costs compare with the barging costs of less than l/2
-------
Table 67. BARGE COSTS
Assumptions:
No split load - composition "uniform"
Minimum pumping rate = 105,000 gal/hr
Standard barge sizes used for this analysis:
840,000 gals, or 1,750,000 gals.
Rates:
Washington to Baltimore ----- 25<£/bbl = 0.6<£/gal.
Crisfield, Md. to Baltimore 19<£/bbl = 0.45^/gal.
Cambridge, Md. to Baltimore - - - 15<£/bbl = 0.36<£/gal.
Demurrage due to lost time at terminal is $70.000/hour
for 20,000 bbl barge.
Split Discharge Rates, e.g., Washington 10,000 bbl's,
pickup, Crisfield 6,000 bbl's, Cambridge 6,000 bbl's
would involve costs which lie between the rates shown
above.
Barge pump discharge pressure maximum = 125 psi.,
Barge size = 240' x 50' - Tug = 90' long
There is a good probability that the load can be picked up within 10 days
notice. Terminal cost is the function of storage volume. However, mini-
mum is 20,000 bbl's with the added uncertainty of fill rate and wait time.
164
-------
DETERMINING THE SIZE OF AN INTERMEDIATE STORAGE TANK (1ST)
Theoretically, the intermediate storage tank (1ST) in the PIP system should
be of the same capacity as the long-haul vehicle (IP). Any additional
capacity is unused if the system works perfectly and therefore represents
an unjustified expenditure. In practice, however, this will not hold
exactly. Since the calculated delivery frequency of the local collection
vehicles (PUP) to the 1ST is an average frequency, the delivery rate is
bound to vary about the mean, and when the rate becomes higher than the
average by a significant amount, an 1ST tank of the exact efficient size
could be in an overflow mode. Also, the IP system picking up the waste
from the 1ST and delivering it to the reprocessing plant may fall behind
schedule for any of a number of reasons. Finally, in densely populated
regions, where the rates of PUP deliveries and IP pickups are high, the
mere traffic density may keep the system from operating at designed ef-
ficiency. Therefore, it seems prudent to purposely design some excess
capacity into the tanks.
Even though the PUP's are scheduled in their deliveries, their arrival
rate will undergo variations which will appear random, particularly if
observed over short periods of time. It has been established in a number
of situations that this sort of phenomenon follows the Poisson distri-
bution rather well'(Refs.: Student, Rutherford and Edie Geiger). The
frequency of PUP deliveries at an 1ST in region z is:
X*arrivals/week
52
The rate of PUP deliveries in relation to IP pickups is:
r = ———
VPUP
Then the mean number of PUP deliveries in the interval between IP pickups
is r, and the probability that k PUP deliveries will occur within this
interval is:
P(k, - -^-
166
-------
If a one-week excess capacity is accorded each 1ST tank, the probability
that the waste arriving during the interval
Vlp52
X'z
weeks, will equal or exceed the one-week reserve capacity is:
r = k=RPUP +
It would be desirable to keep this probability at or below 10 percent. At
the ratio of Vjp/Vpyp = 2, the following probabilities may be calculated:

PUP Arrivals at
1ST per week

It is clear from the above that more than one week's excess capacity
is required to maintain the probability of an overflow at less than
10 percent in the case of regions that have low generation rates of
waste oil. Also, in any region, the probability of overflow can be
maintained at a low level by providing additional 1ST capacity.
A suggested rule for selecting 1ST tank size, which maintains the
probability of an overflow below 10 percent and does not result in
excessive unused tank capacity is:
VIST xz
12,000 gal. <145,000 gal./yr.
15,000 gal. = 145,000 to 440,000 gal./yr.
6,000+
52
440,000 gal./yr.
167
-------
It may be noted from the 1ST cost function that there is a break in tank
cost such that there is a rapid drop in the cost per unit volume for tanks
exceeding 50,000 gallons. However, it may be seen from the above dis-
cussion that tanks of larger than 50,000-gallon capacity do not appear to
be necessary.

SELECTION OF DISTRIBUTION REGIONS
- QUESTIONNAIRES -
A problem encountered in conducting and evaluating the survey was the
establishment of a practical yet precise method of geographically
locating the waste oil generators. Location by counties appeared to
be too imprecise; location by cities lacked homogenity; while
location according to such things as census tracts was too difficult
to handle in a practical sense. Consequently, the Postal Service
zip code was chosen as the basic geographical location device for the
survey. Zip codes have the double advantage of being easily obtain-
able and commonly understood, and of being relatively precise indicators
of geographical location. Moreover, zip codes offer finer locational
differentiation in densely populated areas than they do in more sparsely
populated areas which was desirable in this case. Each of the more than
700 five-digit zip codes were located to the nearest 10,000 geet by
means of the Coast and Geodetic Survey Northeast Quadrant Grid System,
and stored in a computer. Following this, each recipient of a question-
naire could be located according to his zip code in terms of a north
and south grid system, and such things as straight line distance con-
necting two zip codes was easily calculated.
As the study proceeded, it was found that location by five-digit
zip codes resulted in an overly-refined and cumbersome degree of
locational accuracy for most of the study's needs. Therefore, all
of the zip codes within squares 20,000 feet on a side were combined
into a so-called Master Zip Code. The Master Zip Code identifying
a Master Zip Code Region was simply the five-digit zip code of the
center of population mass within that region, or, in some cases,
the geographical center of the 20,000 foot square. These Master Zip
Codes and their associated Master Zip Code Regions are displayed on
the map shown in Figure 7. The Master Zip Codes and their
associated Master Zip Regions form the basic locational index used
throughout the MES Waste Oil Survey, and are given in Appendix A.
Even the Master Zip Regions were found to be overly definitive for
purposes of the waste oil collection and distribution models, in that
the Master Zip Regions produced solutions requiring unrealistically
small fractions of trucks and other non-divisible commodities to ser-
vice an individual Master Zip Code Region. This problem was alleviated
by combining several Master Zip Code Regions into one of five Collection
and Distribution Regions. The geographical extent of the five Collection
and Distribution Regions and the included Master Zip Code Regions are
shown in Figure 2 (page 21).

CRANKCASE AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE OIL SURVEY
The responses to the automotive waste oil survey were tabulated for
each of the Master Zip Code Regions. An example of the tabulations
of the response received from one Master Zip Code Region (Master Zip
Code 20760 - Gaithersburg) is shown in Table 68. It may be noted that
70 Survey questionnaires were sent to retailers of gasoline in this
Master Zip Code Region, and 32 questionnaires were returned, for a
return percentage of 45.7 percent.
Down the left side of Table 68 are listed the quantitative questions
contained in the questionnaire. Reading to the right, on a line with
each question, are tabulations of the answers to each question.
First appears the sample low. This is the lowest value reported in
any responses to the question. Following the sample low is the sample
high, the highest value reported in any response to that particular
question. The sample total follows to the right and is simply the
total of all responses to the question. The number of replies is the
number of replies received to that question. Note that the number of
replies to any one question may differ from the number of whole
questionnaires returned. The sample average is the sample total
divided by the number of replies. The sample standard deviation falls
under the next column heading,"Sample Std. Dev." and is a measure of
the variation among the replies received to that question.
The estimated population total is a statistical estimate of what
the sample total would have been had every questionnaire recipient
in the Master Zip Code Region responded to that question. The
estimated population total is calculated by multiplying the sample
average by the number of surveys sent within the Master Zip Code
Region. As is the case with all of the estimates of population
characteristics, this assumes that the replies of that portion of
the population that did respond to the questionnaire are typical
of those that the non-responding portion would have made had they
responded.
The right most column on Table 68shows the estimated standard
deviation of the estimated population total "Std. Dev. of Est. Pop.
Total". This is an estimate of the precision of the estimated
population total. The difference between this statistic and the
sample standard deviation is worth noting. Whereas the sample
standard deviation is a measure of the variations experienced in
the replies received, the estimated standard deviation of the
estimated population total is a measure of accuracy of another
176
-------
statistical estimate - specifically the estimated population total. If
the proportion of replies is small and a great deal of variation is
experienced in those few replies that are received, the estimated popu-
lation total is likely to be off its true value, and the estimated
standard deviation of the estimated population total will be large.
Conversely, if a high proportion of replies is received to the question
of interest and little variation is experienced in those replies, the
estimated population total is likely to be very accurate, and the
estimated standard deviation of the estimated population total will be
small.
Some of the line descriptions on the left side of Table 68 do not corres-
pond to specific questions of the questionnaire but rather are derived
from combinations or manipulations of the responses. The first such line
description, entitled "Blowby and Leakage Loss (34%)", is the value for
consumption indicated by A. D. Little in a study prepared for the State
of Massachusetts. This value was used to compare with the values obtained
by the Maryland Survey which showed much higher rates of consumption. The
Maryland value is also substantially different than the value for con-
sumption of 50 percent of the combination of automotive and industrial
lubricants given in the American Petroleum Institute study, "Final Report
of the Task Force on Used Oil Disposal".
Following blowby is a line description entitled "Total Recoverable as
Waste (66%)". These two lines, therefore, are the result of multiplying
the answers to Question Three of the survey by 0.34 and 0.66, respectively.
The answers received in Question Four of the survey, "How much waste oil
do you accumulate per month on the average?", are generally much less
than 66 percent of the quantities of oil sold. In the example shown in
Table 68 and in Table 69, "Automotive Waste Oil Survey" results, the
extrapolated "Actual Waste Oil Accumulated" is only 34 percent of the
oil sold. This apparent discrepancy can be interpreted in a number of
different ways, either: 1) more than 34 percent of the automotive crank-
case oil is lost due to blowby and leakage (some independent studies show
this to be the case); 2) the quantities of oils sold are overstated by
the respondees to the survey; 3) the amount of waste oil accumulated by
the respondees is understated; or 4) some combination of 1), 2), and 3).
Though it cannot be stated as a conclusion, it is felt that, for the
above reasons the volumes of automotive waste oil that can be affected
will probably be greater than the volumes extrapolated from the data
recovered in the survey.
Following the line description for Question Six ("Do you have holding
[storage] tank facilities for waste oil?") of the survey, are three lines
showing information that is derived from answers to Questions Two through
Six of the questionnaire. The first of these lines is entitled, "Ave.
Max. Pickup Freq-Pickups/Yr". This statistic is calculated by dividing
12 times the reported amount of waste oil accumulated per month by the
reported waste oil storage capacity. This provides an indication of the
number of times waste must be collected from a source over the course of
177
-------
a year and is an important consideration in structuring the collection
network. The next line description, entitled, "Ratio of waste oil accum
to oil sold", is the ratio of the answers to Question Four ("How much
waste oil do you accumulate per month on the average?") and Question
Two ("Approximate number of oil changes performed per month?"). The
line entitled, "No. of times oil changes x 1 gal. = gal. accum.", is the
number of times the assumption that each oil change produces one gallon
of waste crankcase oil would be consistent with information reported on
the survey questionnaires. In the example of Table 68, this is seen to
be the case in 5 percent of the responses.
Tables 69 and 70 compare exactly with Table 68 except that Tables 69 and
70 tabulate the overall, State-wide answer's to the questions contained
in the survey of automotive waste oil. Here it may be noted that the
State-wide response to this questionnaire was 41 percent or 1,675 ques-
tionnaires returned out of the 4,077 sent. The estimated total amount
of waste oil accumulated per month by gasoline retailers is 459,640
gallons, which equates to 5,515,680 gallons per year.
Questions Seven, Eight, and Nine of the automotive waste oil questionnaire
were not posed in such a manner that their answers followed a rigid format.
Accordingly, their answers were not amenable to computer processing.
These qualitative and variable form answers were read and analyzed by
members of the study team and the results were used to provide background.
INDUSTRIAL OIL SURVEY
An example of the survey results for one SIC code (355 - Special Industry
Machinery Manufacturing) within one Master Zip Code Region (21055 —
Pikesville) is shown as Table 71. The description lines for the Indus-
trial Oil Survey results are self-explanatory or the same as for the
crankcase survey and the columnar headings are the same as those used in
presenting the results of the crankcase oil survey.
Table 72 is an example of the results of the Industrial Oil Survey results
for the Pikesville Master Zip Code Region, summed across all SIC codes.
It may be noted that sample totals, averages, etc., are not shown in
Table 72. Such statistics tend to lose their meaning after stratified
combination has taken place.

NETWORK MODELS *
THE PUP COLLECTION NETWORK
This discussion describes the development of that part of the model
which generates the cost of pickup and delivery using local collection
trucks to deliver waste oil to the reprocessing plant (PUP system).
The cost of picking up waste in region z and delivering it to the plant
in the same vehicle as used for collection (PUP) is:

Cost of overhead is estimated as a fraction of the direct cost. Let

"PUP and PIP System Numerical Parameters".
185
-------
Direct Cost
Direct cost of operating the PUP system is:
(4) DCPUPz = EpuPz + CLPUP2 + INSPUPz
where: E = The cost of the equipment required for
upz operating PUP in region z ($/yr).
CLpypz = The cost of labor for operating PUP in
region z ($/yr).
INSpnp = The cost of insurance on equipment used
u for PUP in area z ($/yr).
The collection system model was applied by dividing the state into a
number of mutually exclusive geographical regions and operating both
the PUP and PIP models to pick up the waste pil generated in each region.
Then, with respect to a particular region, the system incurring the
least collection cost is the preferred system for that region, and the
preferred statewide system is the aggregate of preferred regional systems.
The factors that determine preference for PUP or PIP within a particular
region are: distance from the plant, volume of waste oil generated in
the region, and the waste oil storage capacity available at the local
sources within the region. The farther a region is located from the
plant, the more economical the PIP system becomes with respect to PUP.
This stems from the fact that when long transit distances to and from
the plant are involved, the local collection vehicles of the PUP system
spend a great portion of their time in transit so that the larger long
haul tractor-trailer combination of the PIP system becomes more attrac-
tive, despite the added cost of the intermediate storage tanks.
Increased volume of waste oil in a region also has the effect of making
the PIP system more attractive, as does small storage capacity for
waste oils within a region. Both of these factors tend to increase
the time that must be spent by a driver on the local collection circuit
and the time spent in transit to and from the plant by local collection
vehicles.
In some cases it may be found that PUP will be more economical than PIP
in a region located further from the reprocessing plant than another
region in which PIP is the more economical system. This situation
occurs when the volume of waste oil and pickup frequency in the more
remote area is not sufficiently high to justify the PIP system despite
the relatively distant location of the region. When this anomaly
occurs, it indicates that the more remote PUP region should be combined
with the closer PIP region to form one local collection region. This
186
-------
allows the local collection vehicles from the remote PUP region to take
advantage of the already justified intermediate storage tanks located
between the region and the reprocessing plant.
Both the PUP and PIP models produce fractional answers to the number of
local collection and long haul vehicles required. Although obviously
not realistic, the fractional number of vehicles provides more insight
into the economics of the problem than does an answer in which the
number of vehicles required is rounded up to the next whole number.
First, fractional numbers of vehicles provide an insight into which
regions should be combined with each other from larger, more realistic
collection regions. For example, two adjacent regions, each requiring
less than one-half of the capacity of one local collection vehicle
should realistically be combined into one region that would utilize
the capacity of one whole collection vehicle. Secondly, fractional
numbers of collection and hauling vehicles required provide insight
into the "do in-house" or "contract out" decision that must be made.
For example, there may be arguments against combining adjacent
collection regions even though the individual regions require only a
small part of the capacity of one collection vehicle and/or long haul
combination. In such a case, contracting out for the collection and
hauling function is obviously attractive from an economic standpoint
since it permits the State to purchase only that amount of capacity
it needs.
The model can also be run with a provision that all vehicle numbers
are rounded to produce an integer answer should this be desired.
In application, the State was initially divided into the 45 master zip
code regions (as described in the section on waste oil surveys)and the
PUP and PIP systems operated competitively within each region. These
collection areas turned out to individually utilize only a small frac-
tion of the capacity of one collection vehicle, or, in the case of the
PIP system, of one collection vehicle and one long haul tractor-trailer
combination. Therefore, it was more realistic to combine these small
regions into a few larger collection regions. Five regions were chosen
as being of realistic size and geographical homogeniety. These are
portrayed graphically on the outline map of Figures 2. and 1.
Equipment Cost
Cost of equipment required to operate PUP in region z is:
(5) E = NpUp2FCpUp +
where: ND = The number of vehicles required to operate
HUPZ the PUP system.
187
-------
= The fixed annual charge for operating a
local collection vehicle required to support
PUP in region z ($/vehicle year).
Mlpyp = The cost per mile of operating a PUP
vehicle ($/mi).
= The total distance that must be traveled to
make one pickup from all sources in region z
and deliver the waste oil picked up to the
processing plant (miles/circuit).
FREQZ = The average frequency at which waste must be
picked up from sources in region z, if
holding tanks are collected only when full.
Distance Traveled by PUP Vehicle in One Collection Circuit
Let: CAPZ1- = The holding capacity for waste of source i in
region z (gallons).
XZ1- = The average quantity of waste generated by
source i in region z, within a year (gal/yr).
z = The number of waste oil sources in region z
(sources).
Then the average holding capacity in region z is:
(6) CAPZ = —L Y~ CAP,.-
mz £r Z1
The interval at which source i must have its waste collected is:
CAP_,
(7) INT - Z1
zi
The frequency with which source i must have its waste collected is;
(8)
The average maximum pickup interval in region z is:
INTZ = J- X INTZ1-
mz i = i
188
-------
And the average minimum pickup frequency in region z is:
mz
c\n\ FREQy = — 5! FREQzi
* ' m7 v^i

Let: A = The area of region z (mi )
dz = The average distance between sources in
region z
Then an approximation for dz is (see Appendix B):
(11)
mz
Let: RZD = The distance between the center of mass
in region z and the plant
Then:
+ (Yz-Yp)2]l/2
where: Xz,Xp = The x locations of the center of mass of
region z and the plant, respectively.
YZ,Y = The y coordinates of the center of mass
p of region z and the plant, respectively.
During one collection circuit a local pickup vehicle may collect
from Vpyp/CAPz sources, on the average. Then, if the capacity of
the local collection vehicle, Vpyp, is greater than the entire
holding capacity of the region, one vehicle may collect wastes
from all sources. However, if:
Vpup < CAPzmz
the vehicle must make more than one trip to collect wastes from all
of the sources. In fact, it must make:
(13) CAPzm7
VPUP
complete trips to collect all of the waste.
189
-------
The total distance traveled between points during a collection
circuit by one local collection vehicle is:
(14) d [
z CAP
and empirical evaluations have shown that about 3dz additional
distance is traveled in initial and final positioning within a
region. Therefore, the average distance traveled by a local
collection vehicle within a region during the course of a collection
circuit is:
VPUP
(15) dz [=_ + 2]
z CAPZ
VPUP < CAPA
and,
If. Vp(Jp >
These. expressions for distance traveled within a region during a
collection circuit assume a uniform row and column distribution of
sources within a region z. If the deviation from uniformity is high,
the expression,
(11)
will overestimate the distance between sources. Appendix C compares
this expression for dz with the expected dz in the case of a random
distribution of sources.
3d was determined experimentally as a factor representative of the
additional distance a truck must travel to begin and end work in com-
pleting a circuit; e.g., going to and from an overnight truck parking
area.
190

The distance traveled between region z and the plant during each
collection circuit is 2R . Therefore, the total distance traveled by
one local collection vehicle during one collection cycle is:

In this section are derived expressions for the time required to complete
one circuit collection from each source in a region, using the collection
vehicle to deliver to the plant. The circuit time is comprised of time
spent traveling, time spent pumping and time spent waiting, hooking up,

But this assumes that the vehicles are available for use 24 hours per
day and that, on the average, a source is serviced just as the waste
holding tank is full. It seems reasonable to assume that sources can
be serviced no more than during some fractional part of each day, and
that a collection safety factor should be applied to reduce the number
of times a vehicle must be dispatched on an emergency basis to a
source to prevent its waste holding tank from overflowing. Provision
may be made for these allowances by computing Npypz as:
T
(29) Npupz =
PUPz
where: y = The utilization factor for the vehicles.
PUP
overdesign factor
It may be noted in this and subsequent expressions that a small
interval (INTZ) and the corresponding large frequency (FREQ^) tends
to increase the cost of- the collection system; in other words, make
the model more conservative. In this interest, the following compu-
tation for FREQZ was used in actual application of the model:

FREQ, = max {-I E FREQ . ; i x_,/Z CAP..}
z mz i zi i ZT 1 zi

-------
Sufficient information is now available to compute the equipment cost
(Ep,,p) for the PUP system in accordance with expression (5).
Cost of Labor
The cost of labor may be calculated, on an annual basis, as the time
required to make one circuit, multiplied by the frequency with which
the circuits must be completed; times the hourly labor rate; all
multiplied by the number of workers required to support one local
collection vehicle. Thus:
(31) CLpupz = [Tpupz FREQZ] • [NDpLJpLDpUp+LSWpup] (8760)
where: NDp||p = The number of drivers/vehicle.
NSWpyp = The number of support workers/vehicle.
LDpyp = The hourly labor cost of drivers ($/hr).
LSWnnD = The hourly labor cost of support workers
PUP ($/hr).
It may be preferable to have more than one driver per vehicle for
training and other contingency purposes. However, it should be remem-
bered that the hourly labor cost includes costs accrued due to sick
leave and vacation times normally encountered. Another equivalent
computation of labor costs that may be used is:
(32) CLPUPZ • NPUPZYPUP(NDPUPLDPUP+NSUPUPLSUPIJP> (8760)
Insurance Cost
The total cost of insuring the local collection vehicles is a constant
charge per vehicle. Thus:
(33) INS

where: INS = The cost of insuring a local collection
PUP vehicle.

Overall PUP System Cost
All of the components necessary to compute the total annual cost for
operating the PUP system within a particular region, in accordance

-------
Cost of the Intermediate Storage Tank (1ST)
All financing costs for the IST's are accumulated in the profit model
Refer to Appendix J for determination of the size of intermediate
storage tanks.
The annual cost of the intermediate storage tank (1ST) to service
region z under the PIP system is expressed as:
CISTz = WlSTz + DEPISTz
where: ITC-T = The capital cost of the 1ST, its land
and attentant facilities required to
serve region z under the PIP concept ($).
*IST = A multiplier used to calculate annual
operating and maintenance cost of an
1ST based on the original investment
in the 1ST (1/yr).
DEPT<-T = The annual depreciation allowance for
the 1ST serving region z under the PIP
concept ($/yr).
The 1ST investment cost may be expressed as:
(52) IlSTz = ISTz ISTz

where: ET_T = The cost of materials and construction ($).
*o I £

204
-------
Cost of Construction and Materials
The cost of the construction and materials required for the 1ST
required to service region z under the PIP system may be calcu-
lated as:
EISTz = aio + ai!VISTz
where: a^0 = A constant for the ith range of volume ($).
a-n = A constant for the ith range of volume
($/gal).
= The volume of the 1ST required to
service region z (gal).
There are two ranges of volume that are of interest to the PIP system:
0 to 100,000 gallons and 100,000 to 1,000,000 gallons. These two
ranges are important because once a tank becomes greater than 100,000
gallons in capacity, the cost per unit volume drops significantly.
The values of a-jj and their corresponding range of volumes are shown
below:
1ST Construction and Material Cost Constants
Volume Range i aio, a^

100,000 - 1,000,000 gal. 2 14,262 .0511
Site Development Costs, Engineering. Costs, and Fee
The cost of site development, engineering and the fee charged are
computed as percentages of the construction and material costs.
Thus:

(55) E"9lSTz = £2EISTz
where: ej: j = 1,2 = constants
205
-------
Cost of Land
The cost of land is computed as a function of the tank diameter and
the set back around the tank. The cost of land required for the 1ST
in region z is discussed next.
The height of the 1ST is taken to be 1.2 times the diameter. Thus,
diameter can be expressed as a function of volume such that:
(56) Diameter = .521V1/3 (V in gals.)
Using this relationship, the cost of 1ST land may be written as:
(57) LandISTz =
where: C1T = The cost of lapd in region z at the
1STz 1ST site ($/ft2).
SB = The set back around an 1ST (ft).
Cost of Parking Area

the 1ST such that the land area of the parking lot is calculated as:
(58) 9lSTzVISTz

where: 9-i^r-, = a constant (ft /gal).
Then the cost of the parking area is:

Distribution System
The distribution system is the collection system in reverse. It is
envisioned, however, that products will be distributed only to large
volume users of the reprocessed products so that a local distribution
system will not be required. It seems most likely that only the long
haul portion of the PIP system will be used to deliver the products
produced by the waste oil reprocessing system directly to large volume
users.
In the case where long haul vehicles are used to deliver products
directly to users, the annual cost of delivery to this rth customer is:
(74)
where: C[)£Lr = The annual cost of delivery to the rth
customer ($/yr).
0PLr = ^e delivery system overhead factor
DCnn = The annual direct cost of delivery to

The direct cost of delivering to the rth customer is given by:

The symbols used in this equation are the same and have the same

This formulation assumes that deliveries are made to customers in
trailer load lots; that is to say, small users of oil who are able
to take only partial trailer load lots are not supplied with this
system. This assumption is consistent with the findings of the market
survey, which indicates that a viable market for reprocessed oils is
the fuel oil market, and that there are a sufficient number of large
users of fuel oil in the State of Maryland to absorb all of the output
of the waste oil reprocessing system. This is probably true for

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of R&D
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Report
Number EPA 670/2-74-013, January 1974.
This report supplements the findings of a 1971 study conducted by the
Maryland Environmental Service and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which
concluded that the discharge of waste oils to state waters produced a problem within
the State of Maryland. The report recommended a comprehensive program of collection,
storage, and reprocessing for pollution prevention and for resource recovery. The pro-
gram was guided by the premises that al1 categories of waste oils generated within the
State were to be managed, recovered, or disposed of, that fuel oils would be the princi-
pal products produced, and that current state-of-the-art technology would be used in the
design of the program elements.
Using questionnaires and interviews, it was estimated that 18.5 million gallons of waste
oils were generated in Maryland in 1972. Mathematical models determined the most effec-
tive collection systems and economics for the waste oil program. Preliminary designs
were developed for different scales of pr9cess plants. Heavy emphasis was placed on pro-
tecting the environment. Plant costs varied between $3 million for a 7.3 million gallon
per year (mgy) plant, to $7.5 million for a 30 mgy plant. Management, legislative and
regulatory approaches to the waste oil problem were also delineated.
A waste oil recovery and reuse program can be initiated immediately using existing tech-
nology, collection and storage resources. Because of a need to consider all sources of
waste oils, the program requires subsidization at lower plant throughputs. At the 30 mgy
capacity, the program economics can be self-sustaining.
