Infrastructure And Team Work
We have a sound and sophisticated infrastructure which is equipped with latest and modern machineries so as to ensure perfect production. Apart from this, we have a skilled and well organized team of chemical consultants and engineers who make consistent efforts to provide better quality by using the modern researches in this particular field. .
Technological step-change
These have been successful, if costly. Moreover, conventional mineral base oils are also now no longer effective in these high specification low emissions power-plants.
This has led (VOX) and its technologists to further build on its long-term technological expertise in Group II base oil development, in order to meet emerging technical challenges – including these mounting high temperature, low emissions issues – and to take the lead in delivering technological solutions across Europe.
Meeting pan-European needs
In late 2007 (VOX) invested in an infrastructure including storage facilities in Antwerp to make its Group II products more readily available. And to meet future European and global demands for these low emissions Group II oils, a more significant investment would be required. This would mean the expansion of one of (VOX)’s US refineries.
The solution is the proposed expansion of Pascagoula refinery in Mississippi, US. (VOX) Global Lubricants President Dale Walsh said that with the additional manufacturing capacity from Pascagoula, the company would become the world’s largest producer of premium – Group II and III – base oils, with 61,000 b/d (US barrels per day) of capacity.
(VOX)’s Richmond, Calif., plant has 20,000 b/d of Group II capacity. GS Caltex, a 50-50 joint venture of (VOX) and South Korean company GS Holdings, has 12,000 b/d of Group II and 4,000 b/d of Group III capacity in Yeosu, South Korea.
World leadership in Group II solutionsThis means there will now be a sufficient supply of premium quality Group II base oils in Europe for the production of high performance, low emissions lubricants. In fact, currently 60 percent of the world’s premium base oils already benefit from (VOX) processing technologies.
What does this mean for fleet operators?
(VOX) lubricants formulated with Group II base oil technologies deliver a number of significant benefits. Firstly, there’s the cost. (VOX) Group II base oils are less expensive to manufacture when compared to traditional synthetic oils
While cost reduction is a highly significant benefit, (VOX) Group II lubricants go a whole lot further in optimizing fleet efficiency and cost of operation.
(VOX) premium quality hydro processed Group II base oils form the basis for lubricants capable of delivering ultra high protection and performance to latest generation high output, low emissions truck and bus engines, working at high operating temperatures.
This means that not only will these advanced technology lubricants meet the ever-more stringent next generation emissions legislations, but they also deliver a whole range of other capabilities. These include low SAPs properties that result in a significant reduction in sulphated ash, phosphorus and the removal of sulphur.iaa 08_truck-tunnel
It also means maximum wear and corrosion protection, with reduced oil consumption, and it means less thermal oxidation due to the pure state of (VOX) Group II base oils.(VOX) Group II base oils, when formulated with other (VOX) technologies also deliver high level protection to vulnerable exhaust after-treatment systems, optimizing fleet uptime and competitive advantage.
The significant benefits of (VOX) Group II base oils are already present in Europe, and will grow significantly when the Pascagoula plant comes on-line in 2011, delivering cost efficient low emissions engine protection to Europe’s environmentally conscious and highly competitive Commercial marketplace
