Fuel oil, base oil and process oil
>
Each year, Transpacific collects used mineral oil from more than 35,000 workshops and businesses around Australia and New Zealand and refines the waste product to create high-quality fuel oil and hydro-treated lubricant base oils.
Without recycling, this valuable resource would be lost, or worse, disposed of in a way that could potentially be harmful to the environment.
Transpacific processes in excess of 150 million litres of used mineral oil every year, which not only helps to protect the environment, but offsets Australia’s and New Zealand’s requirements by approximately 900,000 barrels annually.
Fuel oils are used by a variety of companies for heating and power generation.
Base oils, on the other hand, are used by lubricant blenders to make lubricants. They are also used in petroleum chemicals to make a variety of specialised additives for industry.
Both fuel and base oils are sold in Australia and exported overseas.
Transpacific’s hydrogenation facility in New South Wales, which is an Australian-first, produces API Group 1 base oils which exceed the American Petroleum Institute’s industry standard.
