Background GrainOut is a subsidiary of Benzoil that specialises in food and beverage by-products. GrainOut is pursuing alternate applications for peanut shells currently going to landfill. Processing Peanut shells are a by-product from the processing of shelled peanuts (see figure 1). In Australia, the peanut shells are currently a waste stream and disposed after
Background GrainOut is a subsidiary of Benzoil that specialises in food and beverage by-products. GrainOut is pursuing opportunities for vegetable oil substitutes in animal feed. Processing Approximately 10% of the vegetable oil used in the production of biodiesel is captured as crude glycerol by-product (Kerley, 2009). See Table 1.
A key challenge for asset managers of electrical infrastructure is how to easily get rid of redundant high voltage (HV) equipment in a compliant, safe, and cost-effective manner. Here’s how industrial waste removal specialists manage this essential task. Redundancy in high voltage equipment HV electrical equipment becomes redundant when it reaches the end of its
It’s well-known that products and process have life cycles. Products are made from raw materials, transported, used, and eventually disposed of – and the same is true for transformer oil. During each stage of the life cycle of transformer oil (which consists of exploration, drilling, extraction, transportation, storage, refining, distribution, use/reuse, disposal/recycling), we see products
For industrial sectors such as the mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, energy, and chemical processing sectors, the safe and compliant disposal of hazardous waste is not a simple task. Supporting the growth and profitability of your business against the need to protect natural resources and ecological systems is a balancing act that can’t be successfully
Lubricating oil is the lifeblood of heavy industrial machinery and vehicles, especially those used in mines, large factories, and workshops. Over time and due to relentless use, this oil loses some of the properties this equipment relies on and becomes old or used. Rather than viewing this as a useless waste product, oil recovery experts
Benzoil is a leading provider of chemical waste disposal services across all states and territories in Australia. Every year, our industries produce more and more hazardous waste, including chemical waste, at rates that exceed population growth. In fact, since 2014-2015, hazardous waste has increased at a compound growth rate of around 6.3% per year. This waste
Electrical maintenance businesses that service private networks and smaller electrical infrastructure often find it challenging to source electrical insulating oil or transformer oil in smaller volumes. Benzoil, a leading provider of oil and oil-derived hydrocarbon products in Australia can supply 20L containers of transformer oil to solve this issue for you. The Challenge
Keeping computers and servers cool is one of the biggest challenges that IT-heavy industries face. When these components are required to run at full capacity 24 hours a day, the heat they generate can be significant. Data centres, for example, consistently reach temperatures of up to 46 degrees Celsius. The problem isn’t so much in
Process oils are special mineral oils that are used in the manufacturing process by chemical industries for specialised products. They are widely used in metalworking, personal care, polymer, textile, cable fill, tyre, and other sectors, and are a primary ingredient in a finished product or a raw material component/processing aid, like a carrier or chemical
