German term

Verölungsanlage

German to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation
I am doing a translation about a "Verölungsanlage", but I am not sure what the term for this is: I have translated it as an "oil contamination plant" but I have no hits for this whatsoever.
Proposed translations (English)
2 oil conversion plant
3 oiling installation

Discussion

Claire Cox May 22, 2005:
Cont.. - sorry couldn't fit it all in! This site translates it as "oilification", which I don't particularly like but that would back up Swisstell's suggestion if your plant is about something similar
Claire Cox May 22, 2005:
I've certainly not come across this term in a nuclear sense, but I did find this site on Google (badly translated!): http://home.tiscali.de/gutgmbhs/verol-en.htm which suggest that a Ver�lungsanlage is used for converting substances into oil
Oliver Walter May 22, 2005:
If your source text is about the Veroelungsanlage, you can presumably read it and deduce from its contents whether, for example, the Anlage *causes* oil fouling, *detects* it, *removes* it, or something else.

oil conversion plant

Assuming that your Verölungsanlage is for converting substances with a high hydrocarbon content into oil for use as fuel, I wonder if oil conversion plant would fit the bill; difficult to say without further context...

oiling installation

seems to me that you are searching in the opposite direction i.e. ENTölungsanlage. Perhaps my proposal is the "right direction" although I am really lacking context to TELL for sure.
