Our Mission

Cypress Environmental Technology is dedicated to transforming waste mineral oil into high-quality base oil using advanced nano-membrane filtration. We’re not just perfecting this game-changing technology—we’re driving its adoption worldwide, building a greener, more sustainable future. Our goal: deliver eco-friendly, energy-efficient oil recovery solutions that unlock real value for investors and partners. Discover how our innovation is transforming the oil recovery industry and powering global sustainability.

Environmental Achievements

Cypress is charting new territory in environmental technology. As pioneers in applying nano-membrane filtration to waste mineral oil recovery, we’ve broken from traditional methods to set a new industry benchmark. Our core process delivers an exceptional base oil recovery rate, while transforming the main byproduct—heavy oil—into a market-ready product. Unlike competitors, our process generates almost no unusable waste; residues like oil sludge and wastewater make up only a tiny fraction of output, maximizing the value we recover from waste oil. Cypress is leading the charge into a new era of oil recovery.

Vision & Growth Story

About Us

Cross-Border Collaboration

Cypress Environmental Technology’s story began with membrane pioneer Dr. Oleh Kutowy—a former senior scientist at Canada’s National Research Council—who designed a new nano-membrane technology for waste oil-to-base oil recycling that’s both energy-efficient and highly effective.

In 2014, Cypress Founder Ricky Cheng saw what this breakthrough could mean for a global lubricant market still shackled to inefficient, outdated methods. Recognizing that a technology this powerful deserved a system worthy of it, Ricky and his team joined forces with Dr. Kutowy—engineering the nano-membrane at its core into a complete, production-ready recovery system, built from start to finish.

Lisheng Da (力圣达): An Innovation Showcase Built Around Nano-Membrane Technology

Lisheng Da is our flagship plant in Long’an County, Guangxi, and the testing ground for our production line. As the world’s first waste oil recovery facility built entirely around nano-membrane filtration, it proves the technology works at scale—and keeps pushing it further.
Every step here—from feedstock pre-treatment to filtration to final polishing—is constantly refined to boost recovery rates, automation, energy efficiency, and product quality, setting the industry standard.

A Compact, High-Efficiency Production Line

Forget sprawling plants and towering equipment. Cypress’s entire production line fits inside a single warehouse—just 7,020 square meters—yet can process up to 160 tons of oil daily, far outpacing traditional facilities on space efficiency.
Its low-temperature process runs at just 160°C, compared to 300°C for traditional vacuum distillation. That means startup takes hours, not days.
Even in brutal winter cold, our indoor facilities stay stable and productive. While traditional plants risk frozen equipment and costly outdoor repairs, our core systems stay protected indoors—delivering safe, green, uninterrupted production all year round.

From Recovery to Customer, Waste Oil to High-Value Product

The Complete Journey

1. Sourcing

Waste oil comes from licensed collectors, ensuring full traceability and compliance.

2. Testing

Checks density, flash point, water content, pH, and viscosity. Only batches that pass move forward.

3. Pre-Treatment

Removes solids, water, sludge, fuel, and additives—protecting our core membrane system.

4. Core Processing

Our patented nano-membrane filters out remaining impurities, producing semi-refined base oil (ASTM 7-8).

5. Polishing

Mineral decolorizing towers purify the oil to a crystal-clear finish (ASTM 0-2)—matching virgin base oil quality at a lower cost.

6. Sales

Outreach with lubricant blenders through trade platforms and industry channels, delivering tested samples for every batch.

Proprietary Nano-Filtration Membrane

At the heart of our state-of-the-art oil recycling system are our own nano-filtration membrane units, built for industrial-scale oil recovery.

Our high-performance membranes precisely separates and purifies heavily contaminated waste oil, recovering up to 82% base oil with clarity and purity that rivals virgin refinery output. Its unique structure delivers high throughput and long life, without relying on high temperatures or harmful chemicals.

This core technology has set a new bar for quality and environmental safety in waste oil recovery.

Lean, Efficient Operations

Our entire production line is built for maximum workforce efficiency—each line produces 30,000 tons a year, while only requiring a team of less than 50 people. Smart, automated systems handle everything from raw material intake to core separation, refining, quality checks, and shipping, running smoothly with minimal human input.
Better still, our system is designed for simplicity. Workers don’t need advanced technical training—basic instruction is enough to safely and efficiently run the equipment, cutting hiring and training costs while keeping quality consistent.

Clean, Sustainable Production

Cypress built its production process from the ground up around safety, sustainability, and environmental care. Our proprietary system runs without harsh or hazardous chemicals—no NMP, no formaldehyde, no acidic residue, and no chemical exposure risk for our team.
Our process is so efficient it generates almost no sludge, with byproducts making up less than 1%—far better than traditional methods that produce large amounts of hazardous waste.
