NORA Member Noble Oil Services, Inc. Announces Completion and Operation of Re-Refining Facility

NORA has recently learned that member Noble Oil Services, Inc. re-refining facility has been completed and is operational. The information from the company follows.

In a move to optimize the re-refining of used oil, Noble Oil Services, Inc. has announced that its fuels refinery has completed construction and is producing vacuum gas oil (VGO) and asphalt flux products. Its current 100,000-gallon per day (2,300 bbls) production capacity permits the company to market its products to major refineries for the manufacturing of gasoline and No.2 fuels.

“I am proud of the efforts of our outstanding team to establish the only re-refinery on the East Coast. Our ability to leverage receiving used oil and shipping finished products by barge, rail, and truck create significant flexibility for our customers”, explains Jim Noble, Chief Executive Officer.

The Company’s refinery operates around the clock seven days a week and has full laboratory capabilities and certified scales. “This provides an incredible opportunity for large and small collectors of used oil to have their collections of used crankcase oils re-refined. We can establish year round supply arrangements that will help move product consistently and reduce the seasonality for most collectors”, said Facility Manager, Mark Giaquinto.

For more information about the new re-refining operations or to discuss becoming a supply partner, contact Mark Giaquinto at 800.662. 5364 ext. 102 or Jim Noble at ext. 108.
