Description:
Recent advances in hydroisomerization technology have made possible the production of superior base oils of very high VI and oxidation stability from highly paraffinic waxes, such as those from Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysis. The production of base oils from FT over the next several years, however, will be limited, especially within the U.S. A new process has been developed for the conversion of polyethylene waste plastic into a lubricating base oil similar to that derived from FT wax. In addition to providing a potential source of high quality base oil, the process also addresses a growing environmental issue.
