The company ’ s focus is on superior and sustainable base oil solutions using exclusive refining technology in its conversion of used oils into premium products . In 1995 PURAGLOBE became the exclusive licensee of Honeywell UOP HyLube™ Process Technology to produce Group II products with commercial operations commencing in 2004 .
We will start the commissioning of the PURAGLOBE Group III refining plant based in Germany in the first quarter of 2017 . The worldwide exclusive and completely novel Honeywell UOP HyLubeSAT™ technology will allow us to produce the highest possible quality of re-engineered Group III base oils building upon PURAGLOBE ’ s 12 years of successful operational experience .

As a CareForClimate ® certified business , PURAGLOBE prides itself on a sustainable business approach , and its processes are kinder to the environment compared with virgin or crude base oil refining ; Hylube™ technology has already prevented many millions of tons of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere . The company values a cleaner environment , believing it drives business towards excellence , and that ‘ greening ’ engines from the inside-out with its specialist products contributes to the cleanliness of the atmosphere .
PURAGLOBE has furthered its credentials with its 24h Nuremberg ‘ CareForClimate ®’ 2015 and 2016 racing car team . The company has successfully produced the one millionth ton of non-virgin feed stock into Group II and III- base oil products , used for industrial , automotive and driveline lubrication applications . This further enhancement towards a Group III base oil enables lubricant manufacturers to formulate low viscosity engine oils , as well as lubricants , together with the advantage of cutting edge fuel economy performance level .
PURAGLOBE have major plans for the future , starting with further expansion of production at its German industrial site . This further investment in production will enable PURAGLOBE to be the first worldwide manufacturer using this process to produce API Group III base oils at this high quality . On the technology front , PURAGLOBE have recently signed a Joint Development Agreement with Applied Graphene Materials UK Ltd . The agreement will see the development and characterisation of dispersions of AGM ’ s graphene nanoplatelets that will be included in PURAGLOBE ’ s sustainable base oil product and specialty technologies . It is anticipated that as a result of the collaboration , PURAGLOBE ’ s graphene loaded base oil solutions will find a home across a wide range of industrial and automotive applications , where the unique friction and wear properties of graphene will add significant performance gains in lubricants and machining fluids .
PURAGLOBE aims to address climate change as a combined industrial approach , alongside global virgin companies , to extend the lifespan of natural oil resources in the future . Today PURAGLOBE base oil technologies are being used in various industrial , driveline and automotive applications ( e . g . ATF , PCMO / HDDO engine oil formulations ).
