The ReGen™ Process
Through ReGen III’s patented ReGen™ process, hazardous used motor oil is transformed into premium, synthetic-grade Group III base oils. Group III base oils are a critical component in the world’s highest-performing lubricants, trusted by top global lubricant brands, OEMs, and consumers alike for their superior performance and fuel efficiency.
Unlike traditional producers that rely on virgin crude oil, the ReGen™ process uses post-consumer waste, resulting in lower costs and a circular process. This sustainable approach provides exceptional margins and a competitive edge in a supply-constrained market – combining environmental impact with economic and social benefits.
The ReGen™ process has three distinctive advantages:
Higher-yields and resource efficient processes translate to lower unit operating and construction costs – creating efficiency and value.
While many traditional base oil manufacturing technologies rely on high-intensity conversion processes with heavy electricity, natural gas, and steam consumption, the ReGen™ process operates under lower-severity conditions. By efficiently separating high-value molecules, the process reduces overall utility requirements and environmental impact.
Many re-refiners struggle with UMO feed quality, which leads to variation in the products they produce as well as equipment fouling and maintenance concerns. The ReGen™ process has been specifically designed to handle a wide array of UMO feedstock types to tightly control product specifications. In addition, the unique configuration of the ReGen™ process achieves industry-leading on-stream availability.
