How Altiras Recovers and Sells Off-Spec Fuel for Industrial Clients

At Altiras Fuels, we work with industrial producers, terminals, transport companies, and blenders to turn unused or off-spec fuel into a valuable resource through off-spec fuel recovery. Whether you’re dealing with tank bottoms, over-blended products, or aged fuel, our team helps you recover, manage, and sell it — legally and efficiently.

Here’s how our off-spec fuel recovery program works and how it benefits industrial clients.

Step 1: Product Evaluation

We start by reviewing your material — whether it’s stored in tanks, totes, or drums. We’ll test samples (if needed) or review lab data to determine the potential for reuse or blending.

Typical off-spec sources include:

  • Fuel blends that no longer meet spec
  • Tank bottoms and accumulated waste layers
  • Distillation residues or side streams
  • Aging fuel inventories that can’t be used internally

Step 2: Regulatory Screening

We ensure that your material qualifies for beneficial reuse under EPA, DOT, and state regulations. Our experience navigating environmental laws reduces your risk and prevents reclassification as hazardous waste.

If it qualifies, your material moves into our recovery and resale program — no disposal needed.

Step 3: Fuel Recovery & Logistics

Altiras arranges transportation, even from difficult locations or tanks requiring pumping. We manage handling, cleanup, and movement — so you don’t need to coordinate with multiple vendors.

Step 4: Buyer Matching

Once recovered, we match your product with our national network of industrial fuel buyers. The recovered fuel is reused from incompatible systems, including asphalt plants, blending terminals, and high-temperature industrial furnaces.

The Benefits of Working with Altiras

  • Reduce or eliminate waste disposal costs
  • Create a new revenue stream from otherwise unusable material
  • Stay compliant with environmental and transport regulations
  • Work with a single, trusted recovery partner from start to finish
