Legion Oil & Gas LLC has started buying base oils from Avista Oil in 2022. Avista is a pioneering German firm committed to sustainable practices in the oil industry. The refinery has developed a patented, waste-free refining process that transforms used oil into base oils and high-quality lubricants.
Legion Oil & Gas LLC is proud to supply regenerated oils such as KS 100 (SN100 base oil) and KS 150 (SN150 base oil). These environmentally-conscious products align with our commitment to increasing the sale of sustainable oils and catering to our clients’ demand for eco-friendly solutions. Avista runs two refineries in Denmark and Germany. The re-refinery in Kalundborg operates at a yearly capacity of 100,000 tons of used lubricant oils. Germany’s Avista Oil intends to increase the production capacity of Group III re-refined oil at its Dollbergen location in Germany by 2024.
From a sustainability perspective, KERNSOLVAT base oils, produced by Avista, are unique: they contribute to the fact that over 30% less CO2-eq is emitted than this is the case with the conventional production of base oil from primary refining.
The oil industry is under pressure to adopt greener alternatives for a sustainable future. At Legion Oil & Gas LLC, we remain relentless in our pursuit of forging relationships with refineries that prioritize the collection and recycling used oil. Currently, we work with seven European re-refineries that share our dedication to making a positive environmental impact.
Within last 12 months, Legion Oil & Gas LLC also started to purchase Group II and Group III base oils from another re-refinery in Germany – Puraglobe. Two of Puraglobe`s plants are located in Germany, and another one with similar features is being built in Tampa, Florida. Their plant in Elsteraue in Germany has a capacity to produce 50,000 t/yr of Group II and 120,000 t/yr of Group III base oils. According to Puraglobe, using their recycled base oils can cut carbon emissions by 80% in the refining process when compared to regular products.
