Blue Tide Environmental, a used motor oil recycling company supported by Tailwater Capital, has announced the completion of the initial construction phase for its used oil re-refinery in Baytown, Texas, U.S.A. The first phase, processing 5,000 barrels of used lubricating oil daily, converts it into vacuum gasoil and other co-products. Further, a hydrotreating capacity set to launch in Q2 2024 will enhance output, reaching 5,000 barrels per day of Group II base oils.


CEO Mark Bouldin stated, "The inauguration of this cutting-edge sustainable facility signifies a crucial achievement, underscoring our dedication to producing high-quality recycled base oils."


David Cecere, Tailwater Partner, emphasized that the used oil re-refinery project advances solutions driving positive change in the energy sector, with the recycled base oils boasting a lower carbon footprint than virgin base oils. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Plano, Texas, U.S.A., Blue Tide leverages technical expertise and advanced hydroprocessing to recycle used oils, providing a sustainable option for those aiming to reduce their product's carbon footprint.


Tailwater Capital, based in Dallas, is an energy-focused private equity firm with over USD4.5 billion raised. Since its inception, Tailwater has executed 100+ deals, representing a total value exceeding USD23 billion, actively contributing to delivering constructive solutions.
