Black Diesel
Black Diesel is a recycled diesel-grade fuel produced through the recovery and refining of used petroleum oils, sludge oil, and hydrocarbon residues. It is widely used as an alternative industrial fuel for heavy machinery, generators, and industrial heating systems where reliable energy performance and cost efficiency are essential.
Manufactured by Merco WLL, operating under the industrial network of MERCO Group Bahrain, Black Diesel is produced using advanced recycling and refining processes that recover valuable hydrocarbons from petroleum waste streams. This process transforms industrial oil residues into a usable fuel product that supports industrial operations while reducing environmental waste.
Through controlled refining, filtration, and separation technologies, Merco WLL ensures that Black Diesel delivers consistent fuel performance suitable for various industrial energy applications.
Product Overview
Black Diesel is derived from the recycling and processing of used petroleum oils, slop oil, sludge oil, and hydrocarbon residues generated from industrial and marine operations. These materials undergo specialized treatment processes where contaminants such as water, sediments, and impurities are removed through advanced separation and refining systems.
The recovered hydrocarbons are then processed to produce Black Diesel, a fuel designed to provide stable combustion and efficient energy output for industrial applications.
This recycling approach allows industries to recover valuable fuel resources from waste oil streams while supporting more sustainable energy practices.
