Benzoil can supply used oil feedstock re-refinery ready and tested for contaminant content, energy value and hydrocarbon properties.

RE-REFINED BASE OIL

In the oil industry, the term “recycled” is very different from “re-refined”. Re-refining is a process that has evolved over many years. It removes all impurities, both soluble and insoluble, and returns the oil to an “as new” quality suitable for all applications. Re-refined oil has quality that is equal to or better than some virgin base oils. In fact, when re-refining using a hydrotreating process the product base oil can meet API group II specifications.

Re-refining technologies including hydrogenation and solvent extraction produce premium quality base oils that can be used interchangeably with base oils produced from virgin crude oil.

Benzoil markets the range of Australian made re-refined base oils that are available in grades including:

70N
150N
300N

Benzoil can supply to domestic and export markets.

VIRGIN BASE OIL

Group I, II or III

The shift away from crude oil refining in Australia towards an increasing reliance on imports highlights the value of a deeply connected network.

Through partnerships with importers and other traders across Asia Pacific and North America, Benzoil can source the full scope of premium Group II and Group III base oils required by Australia’s advanced manufacturers.

TRANSFORMER OIL

Although vegetable and synthetic variants are available, Benzoil chiefly offers mineral based transformer oil for sale. When your business needs to buy transformer oil, Benzoil can supply electrical insulating oil for all applications and meeting any international or Australian specification. Depending on the purpose, transformer oil may be required to meet not just technical requirements, but also environmental and price points.

We offer 3 tiers of transformer oil comprising:

Virgin (i.e. refined from crude)
Re-refined (i.e. refined from previously refined (virgin) oil)
Regenerated (i.e. physio-processed from previously refined (virgin) oil)
