Abstract

The increasing number of automotive applications and factories in industries has increased lubricant usage and aluminum usage. Both have caused waste that will slowly accumulate significantly. Lubricating oil will become waste lubricant, and aluminum will cause aluminum waste. Both waste types can be recycled simply. Used lubricating oil has greater viscosity value compared to new lubricating oil, so it can still be used as fuel for used aluminum smelting. For a better flow, the viscosity of fuel is lowered by means of used lubricating oil mixed with kerosene. The oil piping system can be designed simply to light the flame suitable for aluminum smelting.
