Project on Waste oil usage





























1Introduction


Lubricant oils are a common element in our daily lives, as they are needed to allow many engines and mechanisms to function. However, through their use, they loose their properties, become contaminated and at some point they cease to be fit for the use they were originally intended. These used oils are then replaced by fresh lubricating oils and we are left with some waste oils. Some 50% of what is purchased will become waste oils (the rest is lost during use, or through leakages, etc.).
Waste oils are hazardous waste as they display some hazardous properties. Waste oils that are found in rivers, lakes and streams threaten aquatic life. Indeed, a litre of waste oil can contaminate a million litres of water. Furthermore, severe soil contamination can result from waste oils being left on the ground.
Thus, it is crucial to collect as much as possible this very valuable resource, in order to avoid the contamination of the environment and to be able to profit from the very high recovery potential of this waste stream. Industries, consumers, garages and do-it-yourselfers have to participate, by not dumping these precious liquids but by handing them to authorised collectors that will ensure their adequate recovery & ethical placement of that profit.

2Uses of Waste oil


Used oil, or 'sump oil' as it is sometimes called, should not be thrown away. Although it gets dirty, used oil can be cleaned of contaminants so it can be recycled again and again. There are many uses for recycled used oil.
These include:
  • Industrial burner oil, where the used oil is dewatered, filtered and demineralised for use in industrial burners;
  • Mould oil to help release products from their moulds (e.g. pressed metal products, concrete);
  • Hydraulic oil;
  • Bitumen based products;
  • An additive in manufactured products; or
  • Re-refined base oil for use as a lubricant, hydraulic or transformer oil.
Once you have taken your used oil to your local collection facility, used oil collectors take the used oil and undertake some pre-treatment and recycling of the used oil or sell it to a specialised used oil recycler.

3Method of recycling waste oil

3.1Pre-treatment or Dewatering

Pre-treatment of used oil involves removing any water within the oil, known as dewatering. One way of doing this is by placing it in large settling tanks, which separates the oil and water.
Further recycling steps include:
  • Filtering & demineralisation of the oil, to remove any solids, inorganic material and certain additives present in the oil, producing a cleaner burner fuel or feed oil for further refining;
  • Propane de-asphalting to remove the heavier bituminous fractions, producing re-refined base oil; and
  • Distillation to produce re-refined base oil suitable for use as a lubricant, hydraulic or transformer oil. This process is very similar to the process undergone by virgin oil.
Water is found in used oil as free water or bound water, for example in emulsions. The term dewatering is usually taken to mean the removal of free water. Where water has been emulsified with oil, the emulsion has to be "broken" with a demulsifier before the water can be separated from the oil.
Dewatering is a simple process relying on the separation of aqueous and oil phases over time under the influence of gravity. The used oil is allowed to stand in a tank (raw waste oil) and free water drops to the bottom where it can be drained, treated (waste water treatment) and discharged appropriately to sewer or stormwater depending on quality and local regulations.
Heating and stirring the used oil in a tank (A) and driving off the water through evaporation can speed up the dewatering process.
The "dried" or dehydrated oil is then suitable for further processing or for use as a burner fuel.

3.2Filtering & Demineralisation

The purpose of filtering and demineralisation is to remove inorganic materials and certain additives from used oil to produce a cleaner burner fuel or feed for re-refining.
Used oil feedstock is transferred to a reaction tank (A) and mixed with a small quantity of sulphuric acid and heated to about 60oC. A chemical surface-active reagent, called a surfactant, is added to the reactor (A) and after stirring the mixture is allowed to stand. This allows the mixture to separate into two "phases" - i.e. oil and water-based or aqueous. The reagent causes the contaminants to accumulate in the aqueous phase, which settles to the bottom of the tank (A) and is drained off as slurry. This phase contains acid, used oil contaminants, including metals and some of the oil additives. The water is dried off; leaving a solid waste that must be disposed of.
The demineralised oil is filtered (B) to remove suspended fine particles (to solid waste) and run off to storage (C) as a clean burner fuel. It can be further diluted or "cut" with a lighter petroleum product (called cutter stock) to produce a range of intermediate to light fuel oils depending on the fuel viscosity requirements of the burner.

3.3Propane De-asphalting

The Propane De-asphalting (PDA) process is an important pre-treatment step in the re-refining process producing de-asphalted lube-oil, which becomes a feedstock for the next step in a re-refining facility. The other output (which is also an input) is propane, which is recovered from both streams and re-used within the process.
The PDA process relies on the greater solubility of the paraffinic and naphthenic (ie essentially the base oil) components versus the contaminated waste material in a stream of propane.
The separation of the lubricating oil fraction from used oil is a continuous process and is conducted at ambient temperature when processing used oil.
The used oil is pumped into the middle of the extraction column (A). Liquid propane is charged to the bottom of the column (A). The oil being heavier than propane, flows down the column (A); the propane rises in a counter-flow thus mixing the input streams within the column (A). The rising propane dissolves the more soluble lube oil components, which are carried out the top of the column (A) with the propane, and the propane insoluble material is removed from the bottom of the column (A).
Propane is vaporised from both streams [ie., the de-asphalted lube-oil stream (B) and the waste stream (C)] in "stripper" units (B) and (C), then condensed and returned to the propane storage tank.
The de-asphalted lube-oil component is feed for the next processing stage. The residuum (waste) component is mixed with bottoms from the vacuum distillation tower to produce an asphaltic material.

3.4Distillation

Distillation (or Fractionation) is the physical separation of components of lubricating oil by boiling range. Depending on the type of distillation, the boiling ranges can produce gases and gasolines at the lower boiling points with heavy lubricating oils being distilled at higher boiling points. Distillation is the core process for a facility capable of producing re-refined base-oils to virgin base-oil quality.
There are 2 types of distillation, atmospheric and vacuum.

3.5Atmospheric Distillation

Atmospheric distillation is generally (but not always) considered a pre-treatment step for vacuum distillation and does not require de-watered feedstock. Atmospheric distillation is carried out at normal atmospheric pressure and with temperatures up to 300°C.
Prior to the atmospheric distillation process, the feedstock can have undergone PDA treatment, but this is not an absolute pre-requisite.
Atmospheric distillation is a relatively simple process separating lower boiling point liquids at ambient pressure. Used oil is heated (A) and charged to a distillation tower (B). Lower boiling point hydrocarbons present in the used oil (eg gases, petrol and solvents) and water are collected at the top of the tower (B). Some of these hydrocarbons can be condensed and collected for use as a fuel in the refining process.
This process is only suitable for temperatures up to 300oC, as temperatures above this can lead to "thermal cracking" of the larger molecule (higher boiling point) hydrocarbons, ie. the actual lube oil molecules we are aiming to recover.
After atmospheric distillation the oil usually undergoes vacuum distillation. Note that used oil can be sent directly from a "drying" process to a vacuum distillation unit without necessarily undergoing atmospheric distillation. However, it is generally accepted that water and lower boiling point hydrocarbon components be removed prior to vacuum distillation.

3.6Vacuum Distillation

Vacuum distillation is considered the key process in used oil re-refining. If atmospheric distillation is utilised, the oil from the atmospheric distillation column is the feedstock for the vacuum distillation column. In vacuum distillation the feedstock can be separated into products of similar boiling range to better control the physical properties of the lube base stock "distillate cuts" that will be produced from the vacuum tower products.
The major properties that are controlled by vacuum distillation are viscosity, flash point and carbon residue. The viscosity of the lube-oil base-stock is determined by the viscosity of the distillate in terms of its relative viscosity separation, eg. light, medium and heavy oil.

The used oil feedstock (usually from the atmospheric distillation unit) is heated in a furnace (A) and flows as a mixture of liquid and vapour to the heated vacuum distillation column (B) where the vapour portion begins to rise and the liquid falls. Steam can be added to assist vaporisation.
A vacuum is maintained in the column (2-10 mm Hg) by a vacuum system connected to the top of the tower (B). By reducing the pressure, materials normally boiling at up to about 540oC at atmospheric pressure, can be vaporised without thermal cracking.
As the hot vapours rise through the column (B), they cool and some condense to a liquid and flow back down the column. Similarly, some of the downward flowing liquids are re-vaporised by contacting the rising hot vapours. Special devices in the column allow this upward flow of vapours and downwards flow of liquids to occur continuously.
At various points in the column (B), special trays, called draw trays, are installed which permit the removal of the liquid from the column. If three cuts or "fractions" of oil are required to produce light, medium and heavy base stocks, then three draw trays are positioned appropriately. This can be reduced to two draw trays if, for example, only 2 cuts or fractions are required.
Some of the material does not boil even under this vacuum. This remains in the vacuum tower and is run out as the vacuum tower bottoms (VTBs). This material contains the heaviest molecules, including some lube oil additives and carryover contaminants not removed in the PDA process. (Note: not all re-refining plants have PDA units).






4Conclusion


The central idea of this whole activity is to utilized the used engine oil, we have discussed the recycling methodology in quite detail , so first of all we are starting this activity on our group level, we get the our car/bike used engine oil and sold it out to professional recycler of used oil and the handsome amount which are quite enough to help a poor family, so the theme of the project is to create awareness in our society that we should use this kind of wastage and help out those poor peoples who are needy one, here I would like to quote hadith:
Bukhari Volume 2, Book 24, Number 512: Narrated Abu Burda bin Abu Musa:that his father said, "Whenever a beggar came to Allah's Apostle or he was asked for something, he used to say (to his companions), "Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it; and Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet's tongue."
So whenever the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would encounter with a poor person, he would tell his companions to help and give for that person, and they would be rewarded for it. The prophet would not simply ignore them and let them be, as would have been the custom of the time, rather he gave advise and teaching to his companions to help these people.”

PAK-SUZUKI Payroll Structure




                    PAK-SUZUKI REPORT 


Introduction:-

Name of organization = PAK-SUZUKI
Address = DSU-13 Pakistan Steel Industrial Area, Port Bin Qasim, Karachi-75000

Contact Person Details:-

Name =Syed Nadeem Akhter Deputy Manager (I.T. Department).
Contact = 03333076576


Payroll Process:-

Payroll relates first toward the H.R department, where they use the process of “HIRING” and when a person is hired it’s all data shift toward payroll. Through This H.R and payroll are two different entities because

H.R. Payroll
Checks all dept. requirements gather personal information
Provides workforce Form salary and gives Pay slips
.

Payroll enters/gathers data on two basis
  1. Attendance
  2. 2. Leave
  3. 3. Overtime
For Payroll IT structure is:
  • Machine of AS 400
  • Database of DB2
  • Programing Language RPG-ILE
  • Biometrics attendance machine named Limton and TIS (Times Information System)



Attendance:-

For attendance when an employee came toward office, he\she gave his\her thumb impression in Limton/TIS machine where his\her attendance with time is recorded. There are two machines one record entry or “in” and other records exit or “out”. So when an employee leaves the place he\she provides thumb impression at “out” machine which records departure of employee with the time.
Now two things happen, the data of employee compiles and pull towards DB2 and there is a service called AUTO-EMAIL, through which an email generated to employee so he\she can also have in knowledge about working hour he\she spent.
Sometimes irregularity occurs in attendance e.g. an employee is leaving and gave is thumb impression mistakenly at “in” machine instead of “out” machine. The e-mail generated to him\her now shows only “in” time not the “out” one. Now, there is a right to the employee that he\she can report his\her issue toward concern department then this issue(through email) forwards to division then finally toward H.R department, it is up to H.R whether H.R accepts or rejects the issue.

Leave:-

  1. Short leave = for workers.
  2. Half day and full day leave = for staff.
Three types of leave:-
  1. Casual - 10 days in a year.
  2. Sick – 10 days in a year.
  3. Privileged - 20 days in a year.
Leave also follows the same work flow i.e. Leave request Sectional department division
H.R department

All these are computerized:-
Attendance came and H.R approves or discards and email is send to employee.
Software is there for every staff member i.e. “Notifier”, an icon on desktop provides notification about attendance / pending emails about absent or leave to H.R.

Overtime:-

It is allowed to Junior Executive and to Director Manager.
This is given due to car\convense arrangement for them which drop them home.
Overtime contains fix rates.
For overtime staff member have to provide prior application which contain a direct application + request for TRS (Transport Requisition System).
Workflow is same
Application Leave request Sectional department division
H.R department
It’s entry is after 1 previous month because of 24th-25th of payroll data gathering.
After 25th of every month, H.R provides this information through Hard copy and Soft copy


Payroll

Now Payroll starts:-
The system is as follows
  • The data is first pull from H.R then to payroll.
  • Its validation is taken then by matching the hard copy figures (top-bottom) with soft copy figures (top – bottom check)
  • When the data is check, DB2 is updated by marking attendance in payroll system.
  • After checking some entries are done manually
  1. Medical and other services expenses deduction
  2. Entries of leave & absentees that were forgot to submit or emailed earlier by employee.
  3. Variance is calculated by payroll
  4. The payroll sheet is updated
  5. All salaries are added after all these operations


The process flow is as follows:
  1. Limton/ TIS DB2 H.R Payroll Pay slips and also with the deduction of BASIC (for permanent employee only ) Pay slips are generated.
  2. Payroll J.V G.L ERP-LX 8.3v


“WHO DOES WHAT” for PAYROLL:-

S.No.

5.








H.R gets all this data and after 25th of a month it pull towards Payroll.


Attendance check and entry of leave and overtime request that are posted lately.
6.










Pay slips generates through all deduction and addition process
Hard copy and soft copy check for pay slips.

Linkage with other applications:-

The Limton\TIS (Time Information System),which is in H.R. , is linked to the Payroll (of IT dept.).

Work Volume at each step:-

The Pay slips making process take place in between 24th of one month to 25th of another month.
And Pay slips are generated at every 1st of month.

Quality of Work and Measurement Tools:-

The quality of work is determined at each step by following checks and controls:-
  • Two machines for attendance, one for “out” and one for “in”, it is because to enter the attendance efficiently and in case of irregularity the employee can report the concern dept. about it.
  • The data in DB2 continuously is updating when a transaction occurs through which email is generated towards employee and report is generated toward dept.
  • Hard copy and soft copy review and entries of lately submitted leave applications by employee to insure correct amount in Pay slips.
The measuring is done by following tool:-
  • Limton\TIS measuring daily attendance with time of coming and leaving.

H.R measures the volume of employee coming daily and performing their duties through attendance. Then further check by IT department for payroll confirms the quality of work.

Suggestions:-

Work process for payroll is smooth at PAK-SUZUKI , to make more suitable :-
1st they should have integrated machine of attendance, means both “in” and “out” would be in one machine. This will reduce the irregularity of mistake by employee entering his/her attendance. The employee then has to just pick the option of attendance whether s/he is coming in or leaving the office and then provide his\her attendance.

Conclusion:-

The process of Payroll is running with an ease at PAK-SUZUKI , with above suggestion may be it becomes more suitable to use.
1 E.g. if the employee belongs to H.R. then he have to give attendance to the LIMTON machine situated near dept.

Procurement Management
Procurement management can be defined as the independent monitoring or tracking of manufacturing processes to purchase order requirements. An implicit assumption of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) analysis is that the purchase price per unit is constant. In an inflationary period, this assumption is not valid. If the rate of inflation is predictable the EOQ formula can be applied.
