EDL engineers new used oil-re-refining plant for lubricants and EV fluids

EDL has been commissioned by Puraglobe to engineer 4th HyLube plant used oil re-refining plant this time outside Europe

EDL Anlagenbau Gesellschaft mbH (EDL) has been commissioned by Puraglobe Holding GmbH (Puraglobe) to engineer another HyLube plant.

The client will build the fourth used oil re-refining plant, this time outside Europe. In this new project, EDL will be responsible for basic and detail engineering with the necessary adjustments to the non-European location. The official signing of the contract was celebrated in May.

Puraglobe is the only manufacturer of API Group III/III+ base oils based on waste oil worldwide. The company invested a high double-digit million euro sum in the construction of the HyLube3 plant, which was successfully commissioned in spring 2024.

In the EPCm project, 430 tons of piping and pipe support material, around 50 kilometers of cable, around 1,200 instruments, 10,000 tons of concrete and 1,000 tons of steelwork were installed. Particularly challenging was the very limited space available for installation. Therefore, detailed planning and assembly sequence scheduling had to consider the limited pre-assembly options and the delivery of equipment by the required deadlines.

“We are delighted to be working with Puraglobe again. As the previous plants, HyLube 4 will also produce sought-after base oils, which are urgently needed due to their high quality and lower CO2 emissions. For these reasons, there is a high demand on them on the market,” says Luis Villalobos, Director Project Execution at EDL.

The 47m fractionating column, which was completed horizontally and then lifted into place in the previous project, the HyLube2 plant, was lifted into place, scaffolded and completed step by step with steel platforms, pipelines and other components in the HyLube3 project. There were also changes to the political situation in February 2022, which had a particular impact on the procurement of materials at equipment manufacturers. Irrespective of all these challenges, the plant was mechanically completed on schedule. It was handed over to Puraglobe in spring 2024 and went into proper operation.
