Base oils, including reclaimed or re-refined base oils, are essential components in the formulation of various lubricants and industrial fluids. Base oils are typically derived from crude oil through a refining process. Reclaimed or re-refined base oils are those that have been subjected to a reprocessing or recycling method to restore their desirable properties for reuse.
The re-refining process involves several steps to remove contaminants, additives, and degradation products that accumulate during the use of lubricants. These steps often include:
Dehydration: Removing water and moisture from the used oil through processes like vacuum distillation or centrifugation.
Solvent Extraction: Using solvents to separate impurities, including dirt, sludge, and certain contaminants.
Hydrotreating: Treating the oil with hydrogen at high temperatures and pressures to remove sulfur, nitrogen, and other undesirable compounds.
Vacuum Distillation: Further refining the oil by separating it into different fractions based on boiling points.
Re-Additization: Adding necessary additives like antioxidants, detergents, and viscosity modifiers to restore the oil's performance characteristics.
Quality Testing: Rigorous quality control tests are conducted to ensure the re-refined oil meets industry specifications and performance standards.
Reclaimed base oils are valued for their environmental benefits, as re-refining used oil reduces waste, conserves resources, and lessens the demand for virgin crude oil. Moreover, re-refined oils can offer similar performance qualities as their virgin counterparts, making them suitable for various applications in automotive, industrial, and commercial sectors.
When using reclaimed base oils, it's important to consider factors such as the re-refining process, the quality standards of the reclaimed oil, and the intended application. Reclaimed base oils are often a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to using solely virgin base oils in lubricant formulations.
