Hydraulic Fluids Project Evaluation
At CHEM Group, proposals for the reclamation of hydraulics fluids oil are based upon a number of factors including the volume of contaminated fluid to be reclaimed, the nature of and concentration of its contaminants, and an estimate of transportation costs.
At least initially, customers will be asked to submit a sample of their contaminated fluid. This sample will be analyzed at no charge to determine its water content, viscosity, total acid number, specific gravity, and flash point. Additional testing may be done as required in specific circumstances. These measurements in conjunction with the results of a test distillation are then used to provide an estimate of recovery yield. In general, yields are typically in the mid to high 90% range, but will vary slightly from case to case.
Pricing is typically provided as a price per gallon of contaminated fluid to be processed and will include all disposal costs for materials containing less than 5% water. For materials containing more than 5% water, additional charges related to the disposal of this fraction may be applicable. Transportation costs will be quoted as a separate line item of the proposal in cooperation with Carson’s Transport, LLC. Though use of Carson’s Transport is not required, most customers find that working with our transportation company affords the greatest degree of flexibility in terms of scheduling, loading, unloading, and delivery.
