experience & expertise

Refinex works with complex hydrocarbon streams, using distillation, separation, blending and recovery to turn oil-based materials into products with practical industrial use.

Our capability sits in the plant work itself: separating materials, preparing recovered streams, and adjusting products to suit specific applications, performance needs and customer requirements.

Bulk Liquid Storage

Asset: Tank Capacity

Refinex is supported by substantial bulk liquid storage capacity, allowing materials to be held, managed and moved through the operation with greater control. This storage infrastructure helps separate incoming streams, intermediate materials and finished products.
