Heritage-Crystal Clean reported $38.5 million in revenue for its oil business segment in the fourth quarter ending Dec. 31, up 20.3 percent from $32 million in the year-earlier period.

The companys oil business segment experienced a minor decrease in revenue during fiscal 2016, slipping to $123.2 million from $123.7 million in fiscal 2015.

Even with very challenging market conditions in early 2016 we were able to stabilize our oil business segment after the first quarter. We believe we have additional opportunities to drive improved efficiencies in this business during 2017, said Heritage CEO Brian Recatto in the companys earnings news release.

The companys rerefinery in Indianapolis, Indiana, has 2,950 barrels per day of API Group II production capacity and 150 barrels per day of Group I capacity.
