Abstract
Introduction. The article is devoted to improving the process of waste disposal in a locomotive depot as a factor for increasing its environmental and industrial safety. In particular, the issue of regeneration of wiping material contaminated with motor oils is considered. Oil waste occurs when replacing waste oils in diesel locomotives.
Problem Statement. There are four reasons for changing the oil: dilution, increased viscosity and water content, and contamination by mechanical particles. Oil is replaced by draining, the rest, which cannot be cleaned by this method, is removed manually with a rag. The oil obtained by draining is placed in a tank for subsequent combustion in a boiler depot, and the oil collected with rags is stored in separate containers for subsequent transportation to an industrial landfill. Such oiled rags have the potential for processing, the task of implementing the method of which is solved in this study.
Theoretical Part. The paper reveals the design features of a patentable device for pressing-out oiled rags, the introduction of which will provide the opportunity to increase the allocated waste oil in the form of a liquid suitable for burning in a furnace, and the possibility of recycling rags.
Conclusion. The main environmental effect of the introduction of a device for processing oiled rags is the reduction of the flow of waste oil into the environment. The decrease in the annual amount of waste oil entering the environment will be about 26.5 t/year. In addition, the use of the device will improve the safety of workers when disposing of rags due to its processing in a closed container and will reduce the content of harmful oil vapors in the air of the working area.
