Do Amref's facilities have a hydrocraker???

[addyguy]

Before I send them a question and make a fool of myself, help me out here.

Most Brad-Penn and Gulf oils made by Amref have hydrotreated (group II) or severely hydrotreated (group II+ or III) as a component of their base oil.

But, in listing the equipemts/plants their compound has, I don't see a 'hydrocraker' as one of them. Please see list below:

They claim their oils are made from 100% local sourced Penn crude they refine themself. But if they don't have a hydrocraker, they are lying, b/c they are buying large amounts of group II and III oils to make their oils with.

Am I missing something???

I don't believe you are missing a thing. Just my opinion.

I'm not trying to be daft here, but I am right that they don't list a hydrocraker, or equipment to do that, in their list of refinery facilities?

I just wanted to make sure there weren't 'other terms' for it that I was missing........

I read it three times and I don't see it.

Thanks for having a look...methinks I will send them an e-mail.

Just got this response back from them:

Thank you for inquiring about our Brad Penn line of lubricants. In answer to your question, we do have hydroprocessing equipment on site at our Bradford refinery. However, as I’m sure you can understand, any information about our base oils and/or formulations is strictly proprietary.
