Recycled Base Oil
Used oil or waste oil is a type of mineral oil, which is the byproduct of production & industrial processes used for the purpose of lubrication or heat transmission.
Base oil, also known as base stock, is the primary component of lubricating oils used in various machinery and automotive applications. It serves as the foundation for the formulation of lubricants, providing essential properties such as viscosity, thermal stability, and lubricity. Base oils can be derived from different sources and undergo various refining processes. Here are some key points about base oil:
-
Sources: Base oils can be derived from different feedstocks, including crude oil, synthetic hydrocarbons, and vegetable oils. The most common source is crude oil, which undergoes refining processes to produce base oil
-
Refining Processes: Base oils are produced through refining processes such as distillation, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and dewaxing. These processes remove impurities and unwanted components, creating a stable and effective lubricating oil.
