Publication number: 20240076563Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2021Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: CHEVRON U.S.A.

Publication number: 20240059987Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2021Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: CHEVRON U.S.A.

Publication number: 20230272291Abstract: Provided is a novel catalyst for use in the second stage of a two-stage hydrocracking process. The present process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feed in a first stage. The catalyst in the first stage is a conventional hydrocracking catalyst. The product from the first stage can then be transferred to a second hydrocracking stage. The catalyst used in the second stage of the present hydrocracking process comprises a base impregnated with metals from Group 6 and Groups 8 through 10 of the Periodic Table, and an organic acid. The base of the catalyst used in the present second hydrocracking stage comprises alumina, an amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) material, and a USY zeolite. Improved naphtha production is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2021Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Jifei JIA, Bi-Zeng ZHAN, Wai Seung William LOUIE, Arun ARORA, Jay PAREKH

Patent number: 11396631Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Chevron U.S.A. Inc.Inventors: Jay Parekh, Jifei Jia, Guan-Dao Lei, Kenny Peinado, Yihua Zhang, Shanying Lee

Publication number: 20080283444Abstract: This invention relates to a multi-stage process for hydroprocessing gas oils. Preferably, each stage possesses at least one hydrocracking zone. The second stage and any subsequent stages possess an environment having a low heteroatom content. Light products, such as naphtha, kerosene and diesel, may be recycled from fractionation (along with light products from other sources) to the second stage (or a subsequent stage) in order to produce a larger yield of lighter products, such as gas and naphtha. Pressure, in the zone or zones subsequent to the initial zone is from 500 to 1000 psig lower than the pressure in the initial zone, in order to provide cost savings and minimize overcracking.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2008Publication date: November 20, 2008Applicant: CHEVRON U.S.A.
