Conclusions
• Strategy of regeneration is the convergence of the established oil properties.

• None of the acid can achieve all the properties.

• Engine performance analysis is carried out three time to get the average values for
the torque, power and sfc.

• We are also carrying out emission analysis to see impact of regenerated oil on
engine emission to see its effectiveness.

• Incineration and dumping of oil leads toward life cycle threat that can be reduced
by regeneration of oil.
