Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
