Press Release from CEP

Chemical Engineering Partners (CEP) announced today the signing of a contract to build the largest re-refinery in South America. This facility will be the first of its kind in South America; it will produce API Group II base oil. “We are very excited to bring the CEP Process to South America” said George Lamont, President of CEP. The plant will be located in Brazil. The facility will be state of the art and the largest facility designed by CEP. Brazil is a leader in environmental initiatives. It is the only country where used oil must be re-refined by law. “We have received many inquiries from South America and we think there are some excellent opportunities in this region” said Mark Williams, Business Development Manager for CEP. “There are no Group II base oil plants in South America, neither crude refinery nor re-refinery so all Group II base oil is imported”. CEP has started the Technology Design phase of the project. The LWART Group, headquartered in Lençóis Paulista, Brazil, has contracted CEP to design the plant. LWART is regarded as the largest company in South America in the field of collecting and re-refining of used oil.

CEP is one of the leading technology design and process technology firms in the re-refining industry. CEP is an affiliate of Evergreen Oil Inc. (EOI) who has successfully operated its state of the art facility for used oil re-refinery in Newark, California since 1986. CEP is responsible for licensing the re-refining technology developed at the EOI facility to third parties. Over the years, CEP has worked closely with EOI to develop and improve the re-refining process now called the CEP Process. The CEP Process produces API Group II base oils. These base oils have been tested and certified by API. CEP has designed re-refineries around the world that use the CEP Process. In 2009, CEP commissioned three plants in the USA and Europe, collectively. For more information about CEP, visit our website at www.ceptechnology.com.
