Innovation and technology
New technologies enable oil and gas corporations to explore and produce in previously unreachable areas. By exchanging technological competencies for increased efficiency, stability, and resource access.
Re-refinining – An Industry Leading Technology
Our sophisticated hydro-treating technique re-refines used lubricants to API base oils, reducing their waste status.
Our technology recycles 70,000 tons of spent lubricants annually, producing 50,000 tons of high-quality basic oils. Gas oils and bitumen flux are examples of side products, each with its own product status.
The EU waste directive prioritizes refining old oils for base oil production over incineration and energy recovery. Lubricants can be continuously refined due to their physical properties.
Re-refining saves natural resources
- re-refinining is 350 kg / CO2 negative vs. primary production’s 700 kg / ton positive
- ~100 % renewable raw material is rerefined
- 0 % waste is generated
- re-refining is three (3) times more energy efficient
