| Summary: | Abstract Some of the animal fats that are by‐products of the meat packing industry can become a valuable commodity for certain other portions of our nation's economy. This paper reviews the types of raw materials used, as well as the manufacturing techniques employed to manufacture these by‐products into useful animal oils. The industrial uses for these oils include, not only petroleum and metal processing, but also the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. These oils also can be reacted chemically to produce various extreme pressure additives for the petroleum industry. In some areas it is even replacing the oil from the sperm whale whose use has been banned within the U.S. |
