"From Oil Changes to Oil Recycling"
Reducing Operating Costs, Downtime and Carbon Footprint in Aquaculture
If you missed Oil Filtration Solutions President Bill Butler’s presentation at Cold Harvest & Aquaculture Canada 2026 in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador, you can now watch the full presentation.
For decades, changing lubricating oil at predetermined intervals has simply been accepted as a necessary cost of operating engines and equipment. Oil Recycling Technologies™ (ORT) challenges that conventional approach. Instead of routinely discarding oil based primarily on operating hours, ORT continuously removes the contaminants responsible for oil degradation—helping operators keep oil cleaner, extend its useful service life and make maintenance decisions based on oil condition.
In this presentation, Bill shares the real-world experience and results achieved through the introduction of ORT into Newfoundland & Labrador’s commercial fishing industry, where the technology has now been installed aboard more than 190 commercial fishing vessels. He also explores how the same principles and lessons learned can be applied to the demanding operating environment of modern aquaculture.
For marine and aquaculture operators, the potential benefits go well beyond reducing oil purchases. ORT can help:
💧 Reduce lubricating oil consumption and operating costs
⚙️ Extend oil service life and support longer equipment life
🛠️ Reduce routine maintenance requirements and downtime
🌍 Dramatically reduce the volume of waste oil generated
📈 Improve equipment reliability and maintenance visibility
♻️ Turn lubricating oil from a disposable consumable into a managed, recyclable asset
The concept is simple: if rates of mechanical wear are normal and the oil is still fit for service, why throw it away?
Watch the presentation to see how Oil Recycling Technologies™ is helping move the marine industry from scheduled oil changes toward continuous oil management and recycling—and what that transition could mean for aquaculture operations.
