Product Highlights
This page presents the Base Oil Solvent Extraction Plant as an industrial equipment product, focusing on solvent refining technology, impurity removal efficiency, solvent recovery performance and application value for base oil upgrading.
Centrifugal Extraction Technology
The system uses NMP centrifugal extraction to improve mass transfer efficiency in a compact structure, helping remove undesirable components more effectively than traditional tower-type processes.
High Solvent Recovery Efficiency
Vacuum heating and distillation allow efficient solvent separation and recirculation, reducing solvent loss and lowering long-term operating cost.
Cleaner & More Stable Base Oil
The process helps improve oil color, oxidation stability, residual carbon level and long-term storage behavior without generating acid sludge or large volumes of solid waste.

03
Stripping
Superheated steam removes residual trace solvent.
04
Drying
Final moisture removal improves product stability.
05
Storage
Finished refined base oil is sent to tank storage for use.

Detailed Process Introduction
A more detailed display of the main process modules, matching product-level technical presentation needs for industrial buyers and investment decision makers.
01 / Solvent Extraction Unit
The Core Separation Stage of Base Oil Solvent Refining
The preheated base oil and NMP solvent enter the centrifugal extractor under controlled temperature conditions of about 60°C. Through counter-current contact and density difference, undesirable components such as asphaltenes, gums and heteroatomic compounds are transferred into the solvent-rich phase.
02 / Solvent Recovery Unit
Recovering NMP for Cost Control and Process Continuity
After extraction, both the refined oil stream and the extract stream contain solvent. The recovery system uses heating and vacuum distillation to separate volatilized NMP from the oil phases. The condensed solvent is returned to storage for recirculation, helping lower solvent consumption and operating cost.
03 / Stripping & Final Solvent Removal
Deep Removal of Residual Solvent for Better Base Oil Quality
Even after vacuum recovery, trace NMP remains dissolved in the refined oil. The stripping stage uses superheated steam and counter-current mass transfer to remove most residual solvent, further optimizing refined base oil purity and market value.
04 / Refined Base Oil Drying
Final Moisture Removal Before Product Storage
The refined base oil enters the drying column after heating, where trace moisture is vaporized and removed. This final step improves product stability, handling quality and storage readiness before the oil is pumped to the tank farm.
