Introduction

Lube oil is used to lubricate engines to

ensure that they are protected against wear,
rust, contaminants and other undesirable
factors that can shorten the life of the engine.

Heat Reduction by reducing friction

Inhibit Corrosion and Rust
Prevent Contamination
Filtration

The damage of used oil comes from

mismanagement.
Millions of liters of used oil are thrown in
trash, often ending up in landfills, from which
oil can contaminate ground and surface water
and reduce soil productivity.
We can reduce this contamination by rerefining it.
