Vietnam Re-Refined Base Oil Project

Capacity: 30 T / Day

  • Feedstock: Re-Refined Base Oil Stream
  • Process: NMP Solvent Extraction
  • Result: Upgraded Product Quality

After replacing traditional acid-clay treatment, the project improved product quality, reduced refining cost and achieved environmentally compliant continuous operation.

Reference Benefit: Lower Operating Cost & Better Product Grade

Before Extraction Condition

Status: Untreated Oil Sample

  • Color: Dark Brown
  • Impurity: High
  • Stability: Poor

Untreated oil typically shows darker color, higher residual carbon and weaker oxidation stability, limiting its direct market value.

Upgrade Value: Strong Quality Improvement Potential

After Extraction Result

Status: Refined Oil Sample

  • Color: Pale Yellow
  • Residual Carbon: Lower
  • Stability: Improved

After extraction, the oil becomes cleaner, lighter in appearance and more suitable for higher-grade regenerated base oil applications.

Commercial Value: Better Market Acceptance & Higher Selling Potential
