Production Technology

01 — Capability
Two processes, one standard

Lima Petro Refinery combines two complementary production methods — vacuum distillation with lube oil polishing, and advanced hydrocarbon blending — to produce a diverse range of high-purity industrial products for domestic and international markets.

Vacuum distillation and lube oil polishing
01 · DISTILLATION

Vacuum Distillation & Lube Oil Polishing

Advanced vacuum distillation columns and refining systems produce high-purity Refined Base Oil for lubrication, plus value-added by-products including Spindle Oil, Vacuum Distillation Residue, and Fuel Cut.

Advanced blending process
02 · BLENDING

Advanced Blending Process

High-quality hydrocarbon cuts are blended in precise ratios under strict quality control — yielding Light Hydrocarbons for solvent, paint and resin industries, and Heavy Hydrocarbons for industrial fuels and energy.

Quality and logistics
03 · ASSURANCE

Quality, Packaging & Logistics

In-house laboratory testing, flexible packaging — bulk, ISO tank, flexi tank, IBC and drum — plus full export documentation (MSDS, COA, COO) and global port delivery capability.

Recycled Base Oils

Four grades, one polishing standard.

Used oil is processed under controlled vacuum and separated into fractions by operating temperature and boiling range — delivering stable colour, low odour and reliable performance for lubricant and industrial applications.
