Re-refining used oil in Bangladesh · since 1985

Powering a sustainable future

Oil does not get used up. It gets dirty. We take it back, distil it under high vacuum, and return it to the market as clean base oil — over 7.2 million litres a year, using up to 85% less energy than refining the same oil from crude.

7.2M L Returned to the market each year 10,000 MT Annual blending capacity ISO 9001:2015 Held by Min Oils Unit-II Ltd The process

What we do

Two operations, one loop

Used oil comes in at our refinery at Hemayetpur, leaves as base oil, and comes back through our own blending plant as finished lubricant.

Min Oils Limited — re-refinery

Re-refining used lubricants

High-vacuum distillation with fractionation, upgraded in 2010, producing recycled base oils equivalent to Group I virgin base stocks. The same oil can be recycled and reused indefinitely without losing quality.

Power sector

Transformer oil, regenerated

We regenerate the insulating oil in power transformers and serve the nation's power sector.

Since 2000 we have reclaimed transformer oils, restoring the electrical properties an insulating oil needs rather than replacing the oil. This introduces sustainability and substantiates saving for the power sector of Bangladesh.

We provide service to DPDC, DESCO, PGCB and REB, along with other notable private organisations.

Transformer oil regeneration

  1. Step 01

    Sampling and testing

    Dielectric strength, moisture and acidity measured before anything is moved.

  2. Step 02

    Regeneration

    Contaminants and oxidizing components removed, and the oil's insulating properties brought back.

  3. Step 03

    Testing and quality assurance

    Retested against the same measures. The oil is re-used as insulating oil in power transformers.

The point of all this

One litre of used oil can spoil a million litres of water

Burning it wastes a resource that never had to be wasted. Re-refining it keeps 300,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas out of the air every year against burning the same oil for fuel.
