We specialise in the processing, manufacturing and blending of petrochemical products.

Refinex is a well-established and proudly South African company that manufactures, refines and blends premium products for the petrochemical industry.

With the inspiring 40-year commitment and vision of founder Theo Heerman, this company has evolved into becoming a significant SA supplier of petrochemicals.

Through investment in additional plants and facilities, together with improvements made to the various processing plants, we have been able to become more versatile in producing breakthrough products with different applications.

Our extensive portfolio includes re-processing, manufacturing and blending a variety of hydrocarbon feedstocks, ranging from virgin base oils to waste oils, in order to produce high-quality burner fuels, solvents and biofuels for customers throughout Southern Africa.

Distillation plants located at Wadeville have been custom-built for our customers’ specific product requirements.

Refinex is committed to providing an excellent and hassle-free customer experience at all times. Since service is so embedded within our culture, the company also has a fleet of vehicles dedicated to the products we sell, enabling more efficient and speedier deliveries of our products to our valued customers.

Refinex echoes the words of Steve Jobs: ”Great things in business are never done by one person; they are done by a team of people”.

Our three main multi-purpose
plants process various
product streams:

Distillation Column: using Illuminating Paraffin as a virgin product, we distil four cuts for the mining industry, oleochemical industry (white spirits) and energy products (burner fuels).
Short Path Distillation (SPD) Column: this plant can process certain wax waste streams, used vegetable oils for biodiesel and used engine oil for burner fuel or furnace oils.
Flash Distillation: this plant uses a fractionation process for various petrochemical streams. The end products are used in assorted furnace and burner fuel applications.
