EPPCO Lubricants, a collaboration between ENOC and Chevron, has signed a significant agreement with SKF, the Swedish giant in bearing and seal manufacturing, to bring SKF’s RecondOil technology to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This innovative technology utilises a double separation system to clean oil by removing harmful nano-particles, thereby enhancing the longevity of lubricants and promoting a circular economy.

SKF’s RecondOil technology is designed to prevent oil from aging prematurely, ensuring optimal performance of mechanical components and reducing environmental impact. As the exclusive distributor in the UAE, EPPCO Lubricants will offer this cutting-edge filtration solution, which has been tested for more than two years to confirm its benefits in system longevity and carbon emission reduction.

This cutting-edge technology involves a comprehensive understanding of the lubricant industry, precise matching of oil with the filter, and an ongoing oil analysis program to monitor filtration performance.”
