ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (EMAPPL) started up a new technology in Singapore that converts lower-value molecules into higher-value lubricant base stocks and fuel. The new facilities expand ExxonMobil’s Group II base stocks production capacity by 20,000 barrels per day, including up to 6,000 barrels per day of the new-to-industry EHC 340 MAX base stock. The base stocks are used in engine oils, gear oils, marine oils, and greases for commercial vehicles and industrial sectors. EHC 340 MAX improves lubricant performance in these applications.
“No other company in the world can do what we’ve done in Singapore,” said Geraldine Chin, Chairman and Managing Director, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. “We will deliver innovative products to the market by deploying our proprietary technology and expertise. We’re proud of the teams who helped make this possible.”
