Re-refined oils are not dirty, or lesser in quality than pure, they have an increasingly important role to play in developing sustainable eco-friendly options for the industry.

We work closely with refineries all around the world, helping clients deliver on their environmental values.

The re-refining of oils has come a long way since being carried out for the first time in Germany in 1921.

The treatment technology has developed from simple distillation over clay and sulphuric acid, to state-of-the-art hydro-treatment technology now producing higher quality oils as good as or often better than the virgin base stock.

The process of re-refining is aimed at recovering a valuable resource of mineral base oil. It requires the removal of all contaminants and used additives, so the re-refined base oil can then be combined with a fresh additive package to bring it up to industry performance levels.
