Recycle Base Oil


Recycled base oil is eco-friendly and it generates lower carbon emissions than virgin base oil. The process of production of virgin base oil is energy intensive and it generates higher emissions of carbon. Rise in the focus on sustainability of the environment across the globe is providing significant opportunity to the global recycled base oil market.

Oil recycling also benefits the terrain. For illustration, one gallon of motor oil ditched into aqueducts has the implicit to contaminate one million gallons of water.

Additionally, limited vacuity of feedstock needed for the manufacture of virgin oil painting is driving the need for use of recycled base oil. Producing base oil from crude oil is an energy- ferocious process.

A refinery needs to reuse 100 gallons of crude oil in order to produce one gallon of base oil. On the other hand, only 1.4 gallons of used oil is sufficient to manufacture one gallon of base oil. This makes recycling of used oil a fairly feasible process for base oil manufacturing.

Uses of Recycle Base Oil:

  • Recycling used oil keeps it from polluting soil and water.
  • Motor oil does not wear out—it just gets dirty—so recycling it saves a valuable resource.
  • Less energy is required to produce a gallon of re-refined base stock than a base stock from crude oil.
  • One gallon of used motor oil provides the same 2.5 quarts of lubricating oil as 42 gallons of crude oil.
