The production process consists of the following steps:

• Distillation: the process of removing the components at a very low and

very high boiling point.
• Removal of aromatics: It leaves the lubricating oil behind with a high
proportion of saturated hydrocarbons, and improves its viscosity index and
stability.
• Dewaxing: It removes candles and controls the low temperature properties
of the lubricant.
 FROM RE-REFINING OF USED LUBRICANTS

The waste lubricant, through the contamination undergone during use, it

become unsuitable for lubrication due to the presence of impurities and other
products or due to the loss of its original properties. Re-refining separates
water, oil and asphalt products and through distillation it restores the
lubricating oil as in the refining process.
The produced base lubricant is blended with chemical additives to produce
lubricants for all uses, it is used, and at the end of its lifecycle it is collected
and re-treated by the refinery and thus the lifecycle of the lubricant starts
again…
 Application of lubricants

• Lubricants are widely used in industries including automotive, aerospace,

construction, chemical, or textile industries to ensure the smooth
functioning of their machinery and equipment.
• It also used to reduce friction between parts in contact. Depending on the
type, lubricants also perform various other functions such as heat
regulation, power transmission, as well as reducing oxidation and
preventing corrosion.
