Advanced refinery processes extract pure oil components, enhance performance, meet global standards, and ensure reliability in automotive lubrication and industrial applications.

At the core of Al-Majd Automotive Oil Factory’s operations lies our sophisticated petroleum refinery unit—a facility where raw hydrocarbons are transformed into precision-engineered base oils that meet the highest global standards. Our refinery doesn’t just extract oil—it elevates its potential, enhancing its chemical properties to deliver optimal performance for modern engines and industrial systems.

1. From Crude to Clarity: The Refining Process

Our process begins with carefully sourced crude oil that undergoes several stages of purification and enhancement. Key stages include:

• Distillation: Separating the oil into various components based on boiling points. This isolates the lubricating fraction from lighter and heavier compounds.
• Hydrotreating: Removing impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatics through catalytic reactions with hydrogen, producing cleaner and more stable base oil.
• Dewaxing: Eliminating waxes to improve oil flow at low temperatures, crucial for engine startup and cold-weather performance.
• Blending: Enhancing the refined base oil with additives for improved viscosity, oxidation resistance, and wear protection.

The result is high-purity base oil—the foundation of every automotive lubricant we produce.

2. Performance Enhancement Through Precision

Refining isn’t just about cleaning oil—it’s about crafting it to perform under pressure. The advanced technology used in our refinery allows us to:

• Control molecular structures for better thermal stability
• Ensure oxidation resistance for longer oil life
• Improve film strength for superior wear protection
• Tailor base oils for different viscosities and vehicle types

These engineered properties are critical in modern vehicles, where engines demand high-efficiency lubricants capable of withstanding extreme conditions.

3. Global Standards and Certification

Our refinery operates in accordance with international standards including:

• API (American Petroleum Institute)
• ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association)
• ILSAC (International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee)
• ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 compliance for quality and environmental management

These certifications ensure that our oils are accepted in markets worldwide and trusted by OEMs and industrial clients alike.

4. Reliability Across Applications

The oils refined at Al-Majd serve more than just cars. Our products are trusted in:

• Heavy-duty trucks and buses
• Industrial machinery
• Construction and agricultural equipment
• Marine engines and generators

This versatility is a testament to the refinery’s flexibility and our ability to customize formulations based on application-specific requirements.

5. Environmental Responsibility in Refining

Refining oil is an energy-intensive process, but at Al-Majd, we incorporate cleaner technologies and environmental safeguards:

• Closed-loop systems for reducing emissions
• Waste recovery and recycling for by-products
• Energy-efficient reactors and burners
• Strict adherence to local and international environmental laws

We strive to balance industrial efficiency with environmental care, ensuring long-term sustainability for our operations and our planet.

At Al-Majd, our petroleum refinery is more than just a facility—it’s a center of innovation, where chemistry, engineering, and responsibility come together to produce the oils that power industries and protect engines.
