Shell Risella C Re-engineered Process Oils

Improving circularity in process oil formulations

As they respond to evolving customer expectations and regulatory requirements, many formulators are seeking process oils that incorporate recycled content while maintaining product performance and consistency. Recycled oils can vary in quality and composition, creating formulation challenges.

However, Shell Risella C re-engineered process oils (REPO) can enable formulations containing recycled material while maintaining the performance characteristics and quality consistency required for demanding applications.

Key Benefits

Reduced carbon intensity

Production of REPO requires less energy than process oils manufactured from crude oil, helping to reduce the carbon intensity of formulations.

Supports circular material use

By incorporating materials recovered from waste oil, Shell Risella C supports the continued use of resources within the value chain.

Lower resource demand

Shell Risella C incorporates materials derived from re-refined waste oil, reducing reliance on virgin crude oil feedstocks.

Consistent performance

Advanced physical properties, including thermal and UV stability, help provide consistent performance across a wide range of applications.

Reformulate with Shell Risella C re-engineered process oils

The re-refining of waste oil can produce up to 88% usable materials, including high-quality base oils. Shell Risella C process oils are designed to combine the use of re-refined feedstocks with the performance and consistency required by industrial applications.

Less emissions than the raw material extraction

Based on primary production data from 2023, production of Shell Risella C process oils may result in up to 35% lower carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions compared with process oils produced from virgin crude oil feedstocks.*
