  • What is lubricating oil refining?
  • These lubricating oil stocks are then refined to produce finished base oils. The refining process may involve several steps, such as solvent refining, hydrocracking, or iso-dewaxing, to remove impurities, improve the chemical structure, and improve the performance properties of the base oil.
  • How are base oils prepared from crude oil?
  • Base oils are prepared from crude oils through the use of the following series of processes which, to some degree, must be applied to all crude oils for refining and also re-refining processes. Base oils are typically created in four different viscosity grades within the refinery distillation process.
  • How does refining separate crude oil into useful products?
  • Refining separates the crude oil into useful products by distillation. The crude oil is pumped into the bottom of a distillation tower and heated to volatize the lighter, or smaller molecules. The lighter gases rise up the distillation tower, cooling as they rise. As they cool, they become liquid again and are removed from the distillation tower.
  • What is a re-refined base oil (rrbo)?
  • Several global refiners have been operating for decades—optimising their processes, technology and product quality over time. Re-refined base oils (RRBO) are an integral part of our collective effort to transition towards a circular economy and reduce product carbon footprints (PCF).
