Abstract: Provided is a process for preparing base oil from a waxy hydrocarbon feedstock by contacting the hydrocarbon feedstock in a hydroisomerization zone under hydroisomerization conditions. The reaction is in the presence of hydrogen and an inert gas, with the total pressure in the hydroisomerization zone being at least 400 psig. A product from the hydroisomerization zone is collected and separated into base oil products and fuel products. The inert gas can comprise any suitable inert gas, but is generally nitrogen, methane or argon. Nitrogen is used in one embodiment.

Abstract: Provided in one embodiment is an improved and more flexible process for preparing a finished base oil or a white oil product comprising passing a dewaxed base oil product to a distillation column and separating the dewaxed base oil product into fuel and base oil product streams. The base oil product streams are tested to determine if they meet desired specifications. Base oil product streams that meet the desired minimum base oil specifications are passed to a hydrofinishing reactor to prepare a white oil product, or passed to direct sale.

Abstract: A process for preparing a base oil from a waxy hydrocarbon feedstock is provided. The process comprises passing the hydrocarbon feedstock to a distillation column prior to dewaxing in order to recover a heavy wax cut. The heavy wax is then hydrocracked to lower boiling compounds which can be better isomerized to a base oil with an acceptable cloud point. The base oil yield is also increased.

Abstract: A second-stage hydrocracking catalyst is provided, comprising: a) a zeolite beta having an OD acidity of 20 to 400 μmol/g and an average domain size from 800 to 1500 nm2; b) a zeolite USY having an ASDI between 0.05 and 0.12; c) a catalyst support; and d) 0.1 to 10 wt % noble metal; wherein the second-stage hydrocracking catalyst provides a hydrogen consumption less than 350 SCFB across a range of synthetic conversions up to 37 wt % when used to hydrocrack hydrocarbonaceous feeds having an initial boiling point greater than 380° F. (193° C.). A second-stage hydrocracking process using the second-stage hydrocracking process is provided. A method to make the second-stage hydrocracking catalyst is also provided.
