Throughout the world, lubricant manufacturing is typically a very high energy use, high cost and time restrictive process.
With a global fragile energy market, spiralling energy costs, insecurity of energy supply, the lubricant industry is currently energy dependent for its blending processes. Forecasts of energy price increases look set to continue for the foreseeable future.
‍
The typical lubricant blending process requires high energy use to heat products. Current heating and blending methods use traditional fossil fuels such as gas. Fossil fuels typically have a high carbon impact when used and demand is growing to avoid the use of fossil fuelled based energy. Carbon footprints need to be reduced and energy needs to be saved to ensure supply. In addition customers and supply chain standards demand change.

Current lubricant batch or Inline blending methods can be complicated and lengthy. It is difficult to make smaller batch blends and have any flexibility.

“The greenest kWh is the one you never use”…

The necessity to improve both the time, cost, and environmental impact of the lubricant manufacturing industry, has driven the development of a new and extremely innovative process that…

1. Removes the need for base oils and additives being heated at all
2. Reduces the time required to complete a blend by over 33%
3. Uses only a 25 amp plug and solar panels
4. Reduces gas energy used by over 93%
5. Enables product packs to be filled immediately without the need for cooling
