Hydrophobic polymeric membranes were used to purify used lube oil in this study. Flow rate of permeate was directly proportional to both the operating pressure (~90psi) and temperature (~83℃). The flow rate increased slightly with increase of pressure and temperature when P>90 psi and T>83℃. Nitrogen and zinc contents in permeates can be reduced to below 40% of the feed oil. Most Calcium and Aluminum contents can be removed from the used lube oil. The polymeric membrane was not effective for removal of sulfur compound and Aromatics. A water-washing method was not suitable to remove metal contaminants for purifying used lube oil. The polymeric membrane process can provide a purified oil product having 6 of color index, which is higher than that of fresh lube oil.
