Amber Oil Processing LLC, a member of Michigan's largest technology business association-Automation Alley,
recently designed an on-site mobile unit that is aimed at going into the industrial site and reconditioning the oil right on the spot by removing the contaminates and water from oils.
Company officials explained that the newly launched oil-restoration-service will work toward improving the environment of the city of Detroit, where the economic and living conditions are in flux.
Amber also said that its green technology is capable of making a considerable difference in how the S.E. Michigan automotive market spends its money on oil and oil restoration.
The company explained how its oil restoration service works. Amber offers its services to the industrial sites that use gear lube oil, morg oil, turbine oil, synthetic oil, honing oil, quenching oil, hydraulic oil, mineral oil and the likes.
The restoration process involves pulling out excess water, dirt, metals, and debris from the oil and restores it to a clean, pristine condition.
The most interesting part of the service is it is offered without any downtime, as the mobile units are small enough to allow site-works being continued without any interruptions, according to company officials. There is no need to transport the oil to be cleaned out of the building to another facility. The machines that are to be worked on can stay up and running.
Currently, Amber Oil Processing LLC can clean 300 gallons per hour and up to 2400 gallons in a typical 8 hour shift.
The process uses filtration components that break the oil down into solids and trap the contaminants into a three step filter. The company uses special earth friendly filters, which are burned down at the end of the process, so that it can’t create any toxicity to the environment. After the oil is cleaned it can be preserved to keep on assisting machinery for up to 10 years or more. The process can help the automotive industry to reap immense financial benefits.
Amber also noted that initially it will launch its new service in a three state area covering Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. However, the company is also open to big contracts outside these cities such as Chicago and will consider special requests.
A few months back, Mark Symonds, the CEO and president of Plex Systems, an ERP software company was elected to the Board of Automation Alley. Symonds will serve in this role until January 2014.
