Description:

The production of lube oils and specialties in a lube oil refinery has undergone many changes in process technology, a trend which is sure to continue. Solvent extraction and chemical treatment will increasingly give way to catalytic routes. Such changes are motivated by higher yields, improved product properties, better operability, and improved environmental and safety performance. This trend is exemplified by the replacement of solvent extraction with hydrocracking in the production of lube oils. Hydrocracking can handle a broader range of feedstocks, and produce a higher quality of base stocks, than is possible with solvent extraction (1). As a further example, the production of white spirits, white oils, and fully refined paraflins can be achieved with higher yields and less waste (i.e. reduced environmental impact), by replacing acid and clay treatment with catalytic dearomizing. Catalytic hydrogenation can be designed to accomodate specific feedstocks, for conversion with excellent selectivities and yields, into products meeting or exceeding applicable quality requirements.
