Re-refining Process
Mohawk Lubricants uses the distillation/hydrotreating re-refining process to recover high-quality base oils from used motor and hydraulic oil. A fleet of specially-designed trucks collects used lubricant and transports it to a refinery located in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Before processing, a sample from each compartment of the collection truck is analyzed in Mohawk's laboratory to ensure that the oil contains no hazardous contaminants.
The re-refining process involves distillation to segregate water, fuel oil, and asphalt flux (spent additive and impurities) from the base oil which is hydrotreated to produce high-quality neutral base oil. A portion of the neutral base oil is sold to other oil companies and lubricant blenders, while the rest is blended on site to produce a full range of lubricant products meeting the highest API, SAE, and industrial standards. Blended products are sold under the brand names 'Mohawk', 'Canadian Pride', and 'Spartan'.
Wastewater is treated on-site to meet strict municipal standards. Fuel derived from the distillation is partially used for on-site energy requirements and the balance sold as heating fuel. The asphalt flux is sold to the asphalt industry for use in roofing materials. There are no waste streams generated and no landfill products.
