Abstract:
A range of lubricating oils is produced by splitting a petroleum fraction boiling above 350*C into light and heavy fractions, preferably at a cut point of 400*-500*C treating the light fraction or fractions by catalytic dewaxing and solvent extraction and treating the heavy fraction or fractions by catalytic hydrogenation and solvent dewaxing. Part of the heavy fraction may be solvent extracted and solvent dewaxed, and part solvent dewaxed only. The catalytic dewaxing process uses a mordenite catalyst and the catalytic hydrogenation may produce either high or super-high oils.
Abstract:
OLEFINS, ESPECIALLY ETHYLENE AND PROPYLENE, ARE PREPARED BY PASSING GASEOUS SATURATED HYDROCARBONS AND/OR VAPORIZED NORMALLY LIQUID HYDROCARBONS IN THE PRESENCE OF STEAM FIRST THROUGH A CATALYTIC REACTION ZONE MAINTAINED AT A TEMPERATURE OF 200-850* C. AND SUBSEQUENTLY THROUGH A THERMAL REACTION ZONE MAINTAINED AT A TEMPERTURE OF 7000-950* C.; IN A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT THE TEMPERATURE IN AT LEAST A THIRD OF THE THERMAL REACTION ZONE IS HIGHER THAN THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE IN THE CATALYTIC REACTION ZONE. BY THIS PROCESS THERE IS OBTAINED AN IMPROVED YIELD OF OLEFINS AND ESPECIALLY OF ETHYLENE AND PROPYLENE IN COMPARISON WITH THE KNOWN CONVERSION EACTIONS TO PREPARE OLEFINS FROM SATURATED HYDROCARBONS.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR CONVERTING SULFUROUS, HYDROCARBONACEOUS BLACK OILS INTO LOWER-BOILING, NORMALLY LIQUID HYDROCARBON PRODUCTS OF REDUCED SULFUR CONTENT. THE PROCESS INVOLVES THE INTEGRATION OF HYDROGENATIVE CRACKING AND FIXEDBED CATALYTIC DESULFURIZATION, AND IS ESPECIALLY APPLICABLE TO THOSE HYDROCARBON CHARGE STOCKS CONTAINING LESS THAN 150 P.P.M. OF METALLIC CONTAIMINANTS. THE CHARGE STOCK IS INITIALLY SUBJECTED TO FIXED-BED CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION AND DESULFURIZATION. FOLLOWING SEPARATION OF THE CATALYTIC REACTION ZONE PRODUCT EFFLUENT, A HIGH-BOILING CONCENTRATE IS THERMALLY-CRACKED IN THE PRESENCE OF DISSOLVED HYDROGEN.
Abstract:
A processing arrangement for upgrading crude oil by the combination of hydrodewaxing, and fluid catalytic cracking or hydrocracking to maximize the production of low pour, high quality distillate fuel oil is particularly described. Cracking of atmospheric bottoms of residua, hydrodewaxing atmospheric heavy gas oil and hydrodesulfurizing light gas oil material to produce diesel fuel oil products are primary components of the processing arrangement.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of catalytically treating lubricating oil base stocks with certain crystalline zeolite catalysts, exemplified by ZSM-5 zeolite, in order to improve the oxidative stability of the base stocks. The treatment is conducted under very mild conditions with minimal loss of lubricant material.
Abstract:
A test tube with a label is axially fed into a label processing machine and then rotated for label scan processing in the circumferential direction. The machine comprises scanning label processors including read and/or write means for extracting label data or modifying the label data. A tube transport assembly in the machine comprises means for guiding axial tube movement, locking the tube in an axial position for label processing, precisely aligning the tube with label processing equipment in the machine and rotating the aligned test tube.
Abstract:
Naphthenic oils are prepared by hydrocracking a petroleum residuum and catalytically dewaxing the lubricating oil so produced. The dewaxed oil is then subjected to solvent extraction or mild hydrogenation.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a process for converting the residue portion of a cracked petroleum product into electrode binder pitch and carbon black feedstock, both more valuable products, by heat soaking the residue to produce electrode binder pitch and a middle distillate, and blending the middle distillate with some of the electrode binder pitch to produce a carbon black feedstock.
Abstract:
A HYDROCARBON CONVERSION PROCESS COMPRISING HYDROCRACKING A PETROLEUM DISTILLATE IN A FIRST CONVERSION ZONE, RECOVERING AT LEAST ONE HYDROCRACKED PRODUCT, SUBJECTING A PORTION OF THE EFFLUENT FROM SAID FIRST CONVERSION ZONE BOILING GENERALLY ABOVE SAID HYDROCRACKED PRODUCT TO HYDROCRACKING AND DEHYDROGENATION IN A SECOND CONVERSION ZONE WITHOUT A NET CONSUMPTION OF HYDROGEN, AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE 825* TO 950*F. AND A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE 0 TO 1500 P.S.I.G., AND RECOVERING AT LEAST ONE UPGRADED NAPHTHA PRODUCT FROM SAID SECOND CONVERSION ZONE.
