Abstract

Industrial activities in Indonesia generate large volumes of hazardous used oil waste. This waste causes environmental pollution and health risks. Conventional treatment systems use centralized facilities and create high transportation costs. These systems also fail to apply circular economy principles. This study designs RevOilution, a mobile-based pyrolysis system for used oil treatment. The design integrates an automated control unit and a solar-powered energy source. The study applies conceptual design methods and literature analysis. The modeling process uses SketchUp 2024 to visualize system components and process flow. The RevOilution system processes used oil directly at its source. The system converts oil waste into three valuable products: bio-oil, syngas, and char. The pyrolysis process operates at 300–400 ℃ and achieves an estimated conversion efficiency of 60–70% of input volume. The produced bio-oil shows a calorific value close to diesel fuel. The syngas functions as a clean energy carrier and hydrogen source. The char acts as an adsorbent for heavy metals and a construction material additive. The automation unit monitors temperature, pressure, and volume in real time. The solar power unit supplies energy for the entire system operation. The design increases mobility, energy efficiency, and sustainability in waste processing. RevOilution provides a mobile and renewable solution for hazardous oil waste management. The system supports national energy security and promotes the transition to a low-carbon industry.
