Abstract

Used oil is liquid waste generated from the use of vehicle and industrial engines. Waste oil can be used as a fuel in metal smelting. This study discusses the technical aspects and costs of using used oil as fuel for Aluminium smelting furnaces. This research uses a spray gun to mix used fuel oil and air. The mixed fuel and air are then burned in a nozzle burner to melt 3 kg of Aluminium. As a comparison, experiments with LPG fuel were also carried out. Temperature and flame measurements were carried out in this study. The burner flame fuelled by used oil produces a higher maximum temperature than the LPG flame, which is 950 and 1100 C, respectively. From the results of the study, the comparison of the cost of smelting 3 kg of Aluminium using used oil is 0.12 USD while the cost of smelting with LPG is 0.6 USD.
