Products & Applications

At its sites in Mannheim, PetrolPlus® GmbH
currently produces three mineral oil products:

DIN medium oil

Low-sulphur (< 0.3%) DIN medium oil according to DIN 51603 Part 4 R-LS for heat generation in combustion plants according to the 4th BImSchV, e.g. in lime works, asphalt works, drying plants.

Group IV Reraffinate

Group IV reraffinate as a precursor for the production of base oils for the lubricating oil industry

Gas oil/heavy oil substitute

Environmentally friendly, low-sulphur (< 0.3%) gas oil/heavy oil substitute for maritime shipping as MDO or bunker product

At the two PetrolPlus® sites, around 8,000 tonnes are kept in stock for loading onto trucks, HGVs or inland waterway vessels.

Innovation & sustainability

The process of PetrolPlus® GmbH is the result

of decades of petrochemical research.

Starting from conventional refining/distillation, we have succeeded in developing an innovative process that does not require hazardous solvents (solvate) and (mostly unsustainable) hydrogen (hydrogenation).

By avoiding these production steps, PetrolPlus® manages to produce an advanced mineral oil product while emitting only a minimum of CO₂ equivalents.

oil production, transport and refining.
