Base oil is a fundamental component used primarily in the formulation of lubricants, greases, and other industrial fluids. It serves as the primary carrier fluid that provides viscosity and lubrication properties, derived mainly from refining crude oil or synthesizing from chemical processes. High-quality base oils ensure better performance and longevity of machinery by reducing friction and wear.
Setting up a base oil production plant involves selecting a suitable refining process such as solvent extraction or hydrocracking, securing crude feedstock, and installing essential equipment like distillation columns and catalytic reactors. The facility requires skilled labor, adequate utilities, and compliance with environmental regulations to ensure efficient and sustainable production within budget and timelines.
