As competition in the lubricant contract manufacturing market intensifies, automation and precision in production systems have become critical to securing orders from global brands. Recently, BJVP delivered a customized solution for Shandong Haoming Lubricant Technology Co., Ltd., integrating a DDU Decanting System, Manifold System, and Pigging System to upgrade key production processes.

Project Background & Upgrade Drivers

Founded in 2012 and located in Dongying, Shandong, Haoming Lubricants is a comprehensive manufacturer integrating R&D, blending, storage, and logistics. To strengthen OEM cooperation with global brands such as Mobil, Castrol, and Shell, and meet increasingly strict quality and hardware requirements, the company needed to address several production bottlenecks:

• Complex and dense pipelines occupying excessive plant space with high maintenance costs;
• Lack of pipeline cleaning mechanisms, leading to cross-contamination between batches;
• Manual dosing of additives and base oils causing measurement inaccuracies;
• Limited process flexibility, restricting high-spec and large-volume order capacity.

Integrated Solution: Pigging + Manifold + DDU

BJVP provided a fully integrated solution combining three core systems to optimize fluid transfer, pipeline cleaning, and precise additive dosing across the entire production process.

1. BJVP Pigging System – Efficient Pipeline Cleaning & Product Recovery

The system uses compressed air to drive pigs through pipelines, effectively removing and recovering residual fluids. It minimizes residue to near zero, making it ideal for multi-product lubricant production. This ensures product purity, batch consistency, and significantly reduces solvent consumption.

2. BJVP Manifold System – Optimized Pipeline Network

The matrix-designed manifold system uses horizontal and vertical configurations with manual valve control to simplify pipeline layouts. It supports flexible routing modes such as one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-one, significantly reducing pipeline quantity and space requirements. Integrated with the pigging system, it enhances overall material transfer efficiency.

3. BJVP DDU Decanting System – Automated Precision Dosing

The DDU system automatically extracts additives and base oils from 200L drums or IBC tanks according to predefined formulations and transfers them directly to blending tanks. It eliminates manual handling, ensures dosing accuracy, and improves safety, meeting the strict requirements of high-end lubricant production.

Customized Implementation & On-Site Deployment

Based on Haoming’s plant layout and process requirements, BJVP delivered customized manifold and DDU systems to ensure seamless integration with existing blending and storage tanks. The following images show the installed pigging-manifold system and additive decanting units on-site.

Key Benefits After Upgrade

• Stronger OEM Capability: Improved pipeline cleanliness and product consistency fully meet the latest audit standards of global brands like Mobil, Castrol, and Shell.
• Higher Efficiency & Capacity: Faster product changeover and minimal pipeline residue increase overall equipment utilization by approximately 30%.
• Reduced Operating Costs: Fewer pipelines lower investment and maintenance costs while minimizing batch losses and meeting environmental requirements.
• Industry Benchmark Upgrade: The project elevates Haoming’s automation and standardization to a leading level among private lubricant manufacturers.

With extensive expertise in fluid handling systems, BJVP provides one-stop solutions covering pipeline cleaning, centralized manifold systems, and automated decanting. This successful project demonstrates that advanced domestic technologies can fully support local manufacturers in meeting global standards.
