It will be Saudi Arabia's first membrane-based oil recycling plant turning used oil into high grade base oil for lubricants.

The tie-up will give Hyflux a 41.5 per cent stake in LUBREC, and access to a major used lubricant oil market worth some $40 million a year.

According to Hyflux estimates the used lube oil business in its key markets of Saudi Arabia, China, India and South East Asia is worth more than $1 billion.
