Reducing the impact of lubricants on the environment

Achieving more efficient use of hydraulic oil can be accomplished through various methods. At OMS LubriTek, we believe that our tailored services significantly contribute to reducing our customers’ environmental impact.

Helping Customers Achieve Sustainability Goals

Extending oil life to reduce negative environmental impact

We acknowledge that completely eliminating oil consumption is impossible, but our innovative technology such as high performing hydraulic oils promotes an environmentally friendly approach to oil usage. Unlike the conventional norm of treating oil as a disposable and infinite resource, our method ensures a more practical and intelligent utilisation. OMS LubriTek filtration technology continuously keeps hydraulic oil clean, allowing equipment to run at peak efficiency. This technology extends the oil’s lifespan and reduces the frequency of oil drain cycles.

The conversation around conserving energy, oil, and natural resources has become a significant part of the national dialogue on energy and environmental preservation. It is logical to assume that a resource as vital as oil would have a profound impact on the environment. Traditional and often controversial methods of oil exploration and extraction can have detrimental environmental effects. Furthermore, waste oil, which is often recycled for use in heating oil, heavy lubricants, and asphalt, presents its own set of challenges. These recycled products can still contain substantial amounts of harmful contaminants such as carbon, potassium, lead, antifreeze, and gas. Alarmingly, just one gallon of improperly disposed used oil can contaminate one million gallons of potable water, underscoring the importance of proper disposal and handling.

At OMS LubriTek, we take environmental responsibility seriously and are committed to collaborating with our customers to address and promote this critical issue. We strive to make a meaningful difference by implementing and encouraging practices that conserve resources and minimise environmental harm. By utilising our advanced filtration technology, we offer a sustainable solution that not only enhances the efficiency of hydraulic systems but also significantly reduces the environmental footprint associated with oil usage.

OMS LubriTek have demonstrated that our philosophy ensures our oil management services, coupled with high performing technical hydraulic oils can have an opposite to what may be perceived around oils and positive impacts on the environment and sustainability. When at the start of a proactive oil management program we generate a lot of waste oil, however we have partnered with Slicker Recycling to ensure that every single litre of waste oil enters a circular economy. This means that the waste oil is reprocessed into new base oil which is then manufactured into new hydraulic oil. Last year OMS LubriTek were awarded the Slicker Recycling Sustainability Waste Management Certificate and our partnership helped save over 24,000kg of CO₂ emissions compared to alternative fuel processing methods.
