20090159492 | Process to prepare a lubricating base oil and its use - Lube base stocks and lube stock compositions, as well as a process for preparing lube base stocks and lube stock compositions, are disclosed. The lube oils preferably have a viscosity index above about 115. The process involves obtaining feed-stocks that have a 95% point below 1150° F. and feedstocks that have 95% point above 1150° F. The feedstocks that have a 95% point below 1150% are catalytically dewaxed, and the feedstocks that have 95% point above 1150% are solvent dewaxed. The resulting products can optionally be blended, and the base stocks can be combined with various additives to form lube oil compositions. Hydrotreatment can optionally be performed on the lube base stocks to remove olefins, oxygenates and other impurities. In one embodiment, one or more of the fractions are obtained from Fisher-Tropsch synthesis. One or more of the fractions can also be obtained from other sources, for example, via distillation of crude oil, provided that the fractions do not include appreciable amounts (i.e., amounts which would adversely affect the catalyst used for catalytic isodewaxing) of thiols or amines. The individual fractions can also includes combinations of feedstocks, from Fisher-Tropsch and other sources. | 06-25-2009 |
20090203835 | Process To Prepare a Mineral Derived Residual Deasphalted Oil Blend - The invention relates to a process to prepare an oil blend comprising: (i) de-asphalting a mineral-derived vacuum residue to obtain a de-asphalted oil, (ii) optionally extracting from the de-asphalted oil an aromatic extract by solvent extraction process; and (iii) blending the de-asphalted oil obtained in (i) or the aromatic extract obtained in (ii) with a paraffin base oil. The invention further relates to the oil blends obtainable by the process, and their uses. | 08-13-2009 |
20090312205 | LUBRICANT COMPOSITION FOR USE THE REDUCTION OF PISTON RING FOULING IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - The present invention relates to a lubricant composition comprising a base oil or base oil blend and one or more additives, wherein the lubricant composition has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of more than 5.0 mm | 12-17-2009 |
20100268004 | BASE OIL FORMULATIONS - Base oil formulation containing (i) a Fischer-Tropsch derived light base oil and (ii) a Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil. The formulation can be prepared by back-blending a Fischer-Tropsch derived light base oil with a Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil, for instance derived from the same Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Also provided is the use of a Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil in a base oil formulation containing a Fischer-Tropsch derived light base oil, for the purpose of improving the cold flow properties of the formulation whilst maintaining its flash point above a desired target value, and/or for the purpose of reducing the concentration of a cold flow additive in the formulation, preferably with less of a reduction in the flash point of the formulation than theory would have predicted to occur due to the incorporation of the Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil. | 10-21-2010 |
