Waste Oil with NH3 - How to Dispose

[delicedefrance]

I am looking for waste contractors in southern England who will handle and dispose waste oil from a NH3 industrial referigeration system. Have approached Veolia but cost is off the scale or so it looks, so if anyone can help please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

hope this helps

Why is it more expensive to get rid of oil that has been in an NH3 system?

once the NH3 has evaporated it's just your average engine oil (might be a far stretch)

In Norway, all the oil companies give you 1000 liter plastic oil tanks for free so you can drain oil, and you pay only for the destruction or whatever of the amount of oil you return.

and when we drain ammonia plants, we let the tank sit for a few days with the cap half open so the ammonia evaporates...

after that, the oil is just like any other oil

I agree with Tyco, let the drums sit for along time at ambient, to vent residual ammonia. All OK if mineral oil, the re-cyclers are not into synthetic at all.

Thanks to the help, should say I am not employed as a referigeration engineer. We use JCI here and the oil disposal falls under my remit.
