Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste oil collection technology, and more specifically to an online monitoring system for waste oil collection. Background Technology

[0002] There are two main types of generator sets in thermal power generation: those that use high-temperature, high-pressure steam generated by a boiler to drive a steam turbine and generate electricity are called steam turbine generator sets; those that use fuel to directly convert thermal energy into mechanical energy to drive a generator are called gas turbine generator sets. During the power generation process in power plants, a large amount of waste oil is generated, causing significant pollution.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for treating waste oil in my country include disposal and landfill, incineration, and recycling. Disposal, landfill, and incineration are the simplest methods for waste oil treatment, but their environmental damage cannot be ignored. If a suitable recycling method is adopted, and the waste oil has a combustion-supporting effect, it can be recycled. Therefore, recycling is the most suitable method for waste oil treatment, and the foundation for waste oil recycling is a complete waste oil recycling system.

[0004] Existing technologies use waste oil collection bins to collect waste oil, but these bins cannot be managed uniformly, resulting in poor management efficiency and potential hazards due to untreated waste oil. Therefore, real-time monitoring and rapid collection and treatment of waste oil are urgent problems that need to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
