AbstractProduction lines in factories are producing not only the products but by products and wastes. Steel machining plants are producing steel parts with steel chips and oxidized metal scale. Pipe production lines uses steel strips to produce steel pipes. In pipe producing process, pipes are machined to cut welding bent, welded pipes are shot blasted with steel granulates and oxidized metal scale is broken in shaping processes. All these production steps are producing oily sludge of pipe production lines. Machining operation cooling and greasing oils causes sludge to be oily. This oily sludge is considered to be a hazardous waste and sent to be treated in waste treatment centers. In this study oily sludge is characterized in order to understand characteristics of oily sludge and develop possible recycle technologies.
