Abstract
Solvent Lubricant Waste Production of an XYZ oil company was very high, this is due to the many laboratory tests that require organic solvents for washing lubricant of equipment. In addition, laboratory requirements for organic solvents are also very high, to overcome this problem, the distillation of organic solvents was carried out to obtain organic solvents of lubricant waste that can be recovered. The purpose of this study was to regenerate the solvent of solvent lubricant waste. The purity of organic solvents from the resulting distillate was analyzed by using the Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Results showed that the recovery of solvent lubricant waste is financially beneficial for the company. With an onsite solvent distillation unit will reduce solvent/consumables purchase order costs by 90–95%.
