Abstract: A system of embedded cylindrical rollers is mounted in an underground containment system in spaced transverse channels beneath a road surface. Power is generated from the passage of motor vehicles over the rollers converting rotary energy into electrical energy. Each roller is designed as a power generator which can be networked together to produce electrical energy directly to a storage battery or grid, thereby eliminating the need to couple the roller to an external generator as in prior art. The system activates when the vehicles contact the embedded rollers in a prescribed direction, and transfer vehicular movement into rotational motion, thus generating electrical energy produced insitu without the need for an external generator.

Abstract: An integrated process is disclosed for dewaxing hydrocarbon feedstocks in a sour environment. The process includes hydrotreating, dewaxing, hydrofinishing or combination thereof wherein there is no disengagement between any of the process steps.

Abstract: An electrical oil having reduced gassing tendency includes a major amount of a paraffinic or naphthenic basestock and a blend of certain hindered phenols, especially a blend of 2,6-di-t-butyl phenol and 2,6-di-t-butyl cresol. A further enhanced gassing tendency can be provided to the electrical oil by including a tolyltriazole derivative.

Abstract: An oil composition useful as a high stress electrical oil and especially as a transformer load tap changer oil is provided. The composition comprises a major amount of a paraffinic oil having a low viscosity of less than about 20 cSt @ 40° C. and an effective amount of an additive system including at least one hindered phenolic antioxidant and a benzotriazole metal deactivator.

Abstract: A method for producing a process oil in which a naphthenic rich distillate is processed through a single hydrotreating stage, the hydrotreated distillate is then solvent extracted to yield a process oil which passes IP-346 and AMES screening test.

Abstract: A process for reducing the acidity of acidic crude oils by contacting the crude oil with a hydrotreating catalyst in the absence of hydrogen.
