Project scope
Development of a business plan for entrance into the used oil recycling market
and the construction of a pilot plant.
Elegant line Chemicals is committed
to going green; the objective of this
project is to implement reduction of
the disposal of used oils to the
environment thus reducing negative
impacts to the environment.
Execute a technical process which will be
economical, safe, easy to carry out and
environmentally friendly.
Convert these used oil to by-Products
such as fertilizer and further
purification of water from the oils.
Government and Private agricultural
sectors are the main target market for
these recycled oils.
Develop a relationship with Angola in
the recycling of oil since it is
available in greater quantities.
Importing and exporting of the
manufactured products from oil byproducts.
Motivation
 Expanding the business scope of Elegant Line Chemicals is the fundamental
objective for this project and can be expanded utmost to describe the nature of the
project.
 Used cooking oil is the single largest non-watery liquid waste stream in most
countries in the world. During use, oil becomes contaminated with many
substances that are hazardous to human health and environment. Kwa-Zulu Natal
being one of the provinces with poor management of used cooking oil which
results in damage to the environment and human health. Hence the next objective
is to eliminate damage to the environment and work together with other
organizations for sustainable development.
 Remote the collection of used oils.
 Create awareness in the mind of the public that used oil is a hazardous but a
recyclable resource.
 Develop and implement an equitable environmental incentive for collections in
outlying areas.
 Influence the behaviour of customers in their handling and disposal of used oil
through effective educational and marketing campaigns.
 Undertake a pilot study of oil recycling.
 Consider investments in improving the handling of various used oil containers at
collector and bulking facilities to increase volumes collected.
 The collected oil be treated by centrifuging and filtration processes.
 Companies such as Transnet and Metrorail, Airports like King Shaka and
Restaurants are the main sources of used cooking and engine oils.
 Government and Private agricultural sectors
FEATURES OF SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT BEING:
 Continual Improvement:
- Company level
- Industry level
 Meet and go beyond legal and
regulatory compliance
WE AIM TO CONTROL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
• Pollution
• Use of raw materials
• Emissions to land, water, and air
HEALTH IMPACTS ON WORKERS AND THE PUBLIC
• Re use of unthreaded cooking oil
• Exposure on engine oil
IMPACT ON SAFETY OF WORKERS AND THE PUBLIC
Remote the collection of used oils.
Mentor an innovative youth
 One of the many challenges our country has is the lack of innovative
projects for youth empowerment.
 Elegant Line Super Faces is such a project which will help groom the
talents and make use of the knowledge gained from schools of young
people in practice.
 To Instil and improve entrepreneurial skills of the youth.
 To provide national and international exposure on doing this project.
 To improve communication and leadership skills and to boost
confidence.

Motivation Letter
We are a young and vibrant research and development team coming from Elegant line
Chemicals looking to find used industrial (engine, brake fluid) oil from your company.
Elegant Line Chemicals is a fast growing South African Registered Company (SMME) run by
qualified African female professionals with skills and experience believed to make a
difference in the chemical sector. It is a chemical manufacturing company with 3main lines of
products namely: detergents; personal hygiene, water treatment and also suppliers of
Industrial lubricants.
As part of going green, the company has set out a research and development team, to
research on possible ways of recycling (Domestic and or Industrial) used oils. Because,
Elegant line Chemicals is committed to going green; the objective of our project is to
implement reduction of the disposal of used oils to the environment thus reducing negative
impacts to the environment.
As part of our project, we plan on giving out certificates that will assure you that the oil is
being handled appropriately. And if found otherwise we are entirely responsible for the
damages caused by those oils.
We look forward to working with you, and making our environment a greener place to live in.
Kind regards

PROCESS DISCRIPTION
The Corrugated Plate Separator (CPS) uses gravity as a motive force, inside
it contains plates stacked on top of each other with cast on spaces of 6/12
mm. the effluent flows through the plate pack of the separator, an oil droplet
only needs to move upwards by a maximum of 12 mm before contacting the
next plate which traps the droplet of oil and separate it from water, since it
adheres to the underside of the plate and on account of specific gravity
(which is lower than that of water) it moves along the plate to the apex of the
corrugation ridge.
Some of the major advantages of CPS system include:
Can handle minimum of 300 of volumetric flow.
Better treated effluent quality- removes free oil droplets 60 microns or
larger.
Low maintenance is required.
Once installed its fully automatic.
High efficiency and ability to meet environmental regulations.
Economic and reliable operations.
Some of the disadvantages include:
Large surface area is required.
Expensive oil/bottom scrappers that are maintenance expensive.
Ineffective with small oil droplets or emulsified oil.
