Motor oil
Motor oil, engine oil, or engine lubricant is any of various substances comprising base oils enhanced with various additives, particularly antiwear additive in addition to detergents, dispersants and, for multi-grade oils, viscosity index improvers. Motor oil is used for lubrication of internal combustion engines. The main function of motor oil is to reduce friction and wear on moving parts and to clean the engine from sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents). It also neutralizes acids that originate from fuel and from oxidation of the lubricant (detergents), improves sealing of piston rings, and cools the engine by carrying heat away from moving parts.[1]In addition to the aforementioned basic constituents, almost all lubricating oils contain corrosion and oxidation inhibitors. Motor oil may be composed of only a lubricant base stock in the case of non-detergent oil, or a lubricant base stock plus additives to improve the oil's detergency, extreme pressure performance, and ability to inhibit corrosion of engine parts.
Motor oils today are blended using base oils composed of petroleum-based hydrocarbons, polyalphaolefins (PAO) or their mixtures in various proportions, sometimes with up to 20% by weight of esters for better dissolution of additives.[2]
Lube oil blending and additive mixing is a fully automatic batch process which is performed within multiple parallel lines, each consisting of one additive weighing and mixing vessel and blender.
Every batch can be controlled by PLC and SCADA from remote operating station.
Basic feeds to the blending process are the base lube oil stocks. The blending procedure follows the prescribed formula for each product. Additives are mixed according to the precise weight prescription in order to achieve the required properties.
Lube oil blending of base oil stock and additives takes place in specially designed agitated blenders.
Finished lube oil is transferred in dedicated storage tanks and from there it’s transferred to the barrels, canisters and bottles filling.
