Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for block operation during lubricant and/or fuels production from deasphalted oil. During “block” operation, a deasphalted oil and/or the hydroprocessed effluent from an initial processing stage can be split into a plurality of fractions. The fractions can correspond, for example, to feed fractions suitable for forming a light neutral fraction, a heavy neutral fraction, and a bright stock fraction, or the plurality of fractions can correspond to any other convenient split into separate fractions. The plurality of separate fractions can then be processed separately in the process train (or in the sweet portion of the process train) for forming fuels and/or lubricant base stocks. The separate processing can allow for selection of conditions for forming lubricant fractions, such as bright stock fractions, that have a cloud point that is lower than the pour point.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A base stock composition comprising a Group II base stock having at least 20 wt% or more naphthenes and wherein the Group II base stock has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 30 cSt or more, a pour point of −9° C. or less, and a cloud point that is lower than the pour point. 2. The composition of claim 1 , the composition further comprising a viscosity index of 103 or more. 3. The composition of claim 1 , the composition further comprising a density at 15° C. of 0.90 g/cm 3 or less. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the pour point is −15° C. or less. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the cloud point is −20° C. or less. 6. The composition of claim 1 , the composition further comprising a turbidity of 5 NTUs or less. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is visually free of haze. 8. A lubricating oil comprising the composition of claim 1 and a minor amount of one or more additives chosen from an antiwear additive, a viscosity modifier, an antioxidant, a detergent, a dispersant, a pour point depressant, a corrosion inhibitor, a metal deactivator, a seal compatibility additive, a demulsifying agent, an anti-foam agent, inhibitor, an anti-rust additive, and combinations thereof. 9. The lubricating oil of claim 8 , wherein the lubricating oil is an engine oil, an industrial lubricating oil, or a marine lubricating oil.
