Description:
In this paper we take a look at the feed and product from Chevron's Richmond Lube Oil Plant during a Group III production block. Our analysis shows that as the feed molecules pass through the three catalytic steps of lube manufacture, virtually all are rearranged or altered in some way. The extensive chemical processing steps involved have resulted in a product that is essentially different chemically than the raw material. Therefore, they justifiably can be considered to be synthetic.
