also manages the transport, storage, and delivery of the aggregated feedstock and product streams to end users, and manages the re-refining of a portion of its aggregated petroleum streams in order to sell them as higher-value end products. V

Vertex sells its aggregated petroleum streams as feedstock to other re-refineries and fuel blenders or as a replacement fuel for use in industrial burners. The re-refining of used motor oil that Vertex manages takes place at its facility, which uses a proprietary Thermal Chemical Extraction Process (“TCEP”) technology. The company provides services enabling the transporting, processing and re-refining of these distressed hydrocarbon-based streams into viable commodity products that off-set the United States’ dependence on foreign crude oil in a safe and regulatory compliant manner.

Vertex Energy was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas, USA.
