Recycling Sector takes on a whole new meaning

 

The Australian owned Southern Oil Refining (SOR) is based in Wagga Wagga, and its re-refinery is situated at Bomen Business Park (5kms north of the Wagga CBD).

Southern Oil Refining is now a part of the group of environmental sustainability companies at Bomen.

The refinery already produces a range of quality base oil products, all manufactured from previously used lube oils, rather than from crude oil as at the traditional oil refineries. The refinery also produces a range of fuel oil by-products.

Manufacturing quality base oils by re-refining used lube oil has significant environmental benefits over refining from crude oils to the same specifications. Tests have demonstrated that SOR oils are "at least as good as and in some specific ways better than base oils made from crude oil".

The SOR process prevents the release into the environment (on land and in water courses) of waste oil and ensures that contaminants are properly removed and safely disposed.
