Abstract

Lube oil is normally used to reduce friction, reduce wear, reduce temperature, seal out contamination and also reduce the corrosion in engine component especially for industrial application. The objective for this project is to design a product that can filter the used lube oil for industrial application and also analyze the clean used lube oil after the filtration process take place. Oil analysis will be done using Rotating Disc Electrode Atomic Emission Spectrometry (RDE-AES) and viscometer to identify the size particle content and the viscosity of use lube oil after the filtration process takes place. SolidWorks is used to develop the desire product design for used lube oil filtration process before the fabrication process takes place. The main problem for used lube oil is it contains higher levels of ash, carbon residue, metals, water, and other dirty materials, which are produced during the course of lubrication inside the engine. So, by designing the lube oil filter, the engine can reuse the oil that filtrate without any contamination and wear metal which can also reduce the running costs by extending the life cycle of all system components inside the engine and oil itself.
