USED LUBE OIL RE-REFINING
Re-refining removes all the contaminants from used lube oil to recover base lube oil product.
During the last years many factors have obliged rerefiners to look for alternative Re-refining process, such as:
- increased use of additive packages in the formulation of lubricants and by consequence higher level of contaminants in the used oil
- increased amount of thermal degradation products due to longer mileage of the lubricants
- pollution problems related to the disposal of acid sludges and spent clay from the traditional acid/clay re-refining
Among the available today processes, STP Re-refining offers a low energy high yield operation, high quality products and absence of noxious wastes or by products.
