Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to develop a new method of improving wasted engine oil treatment. Because of the growing global focus on mineral resources, recycling motor oil is becoming an increasingly useful study in the upcoming years. Various testing and studies on recycled motor oil have been conducted as a result of this. Before each test, waste motor oil is filtered into a raw oil that can be used for testing and research. ASTM D7317 is a common waste engine oil filtering method that indicates good efficiency, since the filtered waste motor oil is devoid of pollutants and metals, as well as the standard for building a compact oil filter. The study began with the concept of a portable oil filter, utilising various modelling methodologies to pick the appropriate material and concept, as well as to address countermeasures to the technical issues that arose during the construction of the portable oil filter. Improvement were made by treating the waste engine oil, recycled oil can be reused in automobile engines. The results of this paper were compared to base oils. The concepts of methods for designing and manufacturing the portable oil filter, as well as computer analytical methodologies and SolidWorks 2021 and Computation Fluid Dynamic (CFD) programmes, are covered in Chapter 3. The portable waste engine oil filter is built of nylon manufactured by 3D Laser Selective (SLS) process printers and stainless steel that is designed to handle the volume of a vehicle's motor oil filtering (about 5ml). The filter material is cellulose paper with a high pressure and retention rate. Prior to the production of a portable oil filter, SolidWorks 2021 technology is used to conduct research using machine aid tools.
