Sustainable Group III+ Base Oils and Other Innovations Are Challenging Consumers, OEMs, and Finished Lubricant Manufacturers...
As with other innovations, sustainability has changed the way we think about markets and products from coffee, to copper, to cattle. So it’s foolish to think sustainability won’t have a similar effect on base oils and lubricants…
For example, electric cars and other forms of sustainable transportation are no longer far-fetched ideas, they’re increasingly becoming part of our everyday reality.
At the same time, more and more eco-friendly consumers are realizing (and resenting) the compromise in using sustainable transportation, powered by sustainable energy — but with non-sustainable lubricants.
SUSTAINABILITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE In helping to avoid such compromises—and more importantly, to enable even more innovations in the future — PURAGLOBE will soon be the first to offer sustainable Group III+ base oil and solvent technologies — so finished lubricant manufacturers can formulate even more fuel-efficient and eco-efficient lubricants, or both.
6 LUBE MAGAZINE NO.137 FEBRUARY 2017
PURAGLOBE (formerly Puralube) transforms used oil — into new, sustainable base oil products. For more than a decade, they’ve been working alongside traditional, virgin oil providers to promote sustainability throughout the oil industry. PURAGLOBE was the first to produce 1 million tons of sustainable Group II base oil products — and consequently prevent more than 1 million tons of CO2
emissions from being released into the environment (as verified by NSF and IFEU, 2015).
Using their exclusive Honeywell UOP HyLubeSAT™ technology, PURAGLOBE plans to make their eco-friendly Group III+ base oil products and solvents available in Europe and North America in July.
SUSTAINABLE GROUP III+ BASE OIL TECHNOLOGY PURAGLOBE’s sustainable Group III+ base oil technologies enable exciting new possibilities for finished lubricant manufacturers. In automotive applications for example, these Group III+ technologies can be used to formulate sustainable 0W-8 and 0W-16 viscosity grades.
