| 20080314797 | Integrated hydroprocessing with high productivity catalysts - Integrated hydroprocessing methods using high activity, low density catalysts are provided. The high activity catalysts allow for lower temperature operation, which reduces catalyst degradation, while the low density of the catalysts means a corresponding reduction in the amount of metal needed to fill a reactor volume. The methods allow for flexible processing of feedstocks with a variety of wax contents. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090005627 | Integrated hydroprocessing with high productivity catalysts - Integrated hydroprocessing methods using high activity, low density catalysts are provided. The high activity catalysts allow for blocked operation when processing lube range feedstocks of widely varying characteristics, such as wax content, without having to substantially change the configuration or operating conditions of the process train. Instead, the different feedstocks can be accommodated by varying the reaction temperature in the process train. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090166252 | Process for preparing lube basestocks having superior low temperature properties at high VI - A process for preparing basestocks having superior low temperature properties at high viscosity index (VI). More particularly, a waxy feedstock is contacted with a first dewaxing catalyst having a refined constraint index (CI*) 2.0 or less followed by contacting with a second dewaxing catalyst having a refined constraint index greater than 2.0. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100187155 | Integrated hydrocracking and dewaxing of hydrocarbons - An integrated process for producing naphtha fuel, diesel fuel and/or lubricant base oils from feedstocks under sour conditions is provided. The ability to process feedstocks under higher sulfur and/or nitrogen conditions allows for reduced cost processing and increases the flexibility in selecting a suitable feedstock. The sour feed can be delivered to a catalytic dewaxing step without any separation of sulfur and nitrogen contaminants, or a high pressure separation can be used to partially eliminate contaminants. The integrated process includes an initial hydrotreatment, hydrocracking, catalytic dewaxing of the hydrocracking effluent, and an option final hydrotreatment. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20090176643 | Sour service dewaxing catalyst without separate hydrogenation function - Catalysts for dewaxing of hydrocarbon feeds, particularly feeds with elevated sulfur and nitrogen levels, are provided. The dewaxing catalysts include a zeolite with a low silica to alumina ratio combined with a low surface binder, or alternatively the formulated catalyst has a high ratio of zeolite surface area to external surface area. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090206004 | Aromatic hydrogenation process - An MCM-41 catalyst having a crystalline framework containing SiO | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090215612 | Aromatic hydrogenation catalysts - An MCM-41 catalyst having a crystalline framework containing SiO | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100075831 | Multiple molecular sieve catalyst for sour service dewaxing - Catalysts for dewaxing of hydrocarbon feeds, particularly feeds with elevated sulfur and nitrogen levels, are provided. The dewaxing catalysts include at least two zeolites, including a zeolite with a low silica to alumina ratio. The catalysts may be combined with a low surface binder, or alternatively the catalysts as formulated may have a high ratio of zeolite surface area to external surface area. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100187156 | Sour service hydroprocessing for lubricant base oil production - An integrated process for producing lubricant base oils from feedstocks under sour conditions is provided. The ability to process feedstocks under higher sulfur conditions allows for reduced cost processing and increases the flexibility in selecting a suitable feedstock. The sour feed can be delivered to a catalytic dewaxing step without any separation of sulfur and nitrogen contaminants, or a high pressure separation can be used to partially eliminate contaminants. | 07-29-2010 |
