  • Process for preparing basestocks having high VI using oxygenated dewaxing catalyst
    Publication number: 20070068850
    Abstract: A process for preparing high VI lubricating oil basestocks comprising hydrotreating, hydrodewaxing and optionally hydrofinishing. The hydrotreated feedstock is hydrodewaxed using a dewaxing catalyst that has been selectively activated by oxygenate treatment. The hydrodewaxed product may then be hydrofinished.

  • Method for reducing the amount of high molecular weight organic sulfur picked-up by hydrocarbon streams transported through a pipeline
    Publication number: 20060283779
    Abstract: A process for removing relatively low levels of high molecular weight organic sulfur from hydrocarbon streams, particularly from streams that have picked-up such sulfur while being transported through a pipeline. The hydrocarbon stream containing the organic sulfur is passed through a bed of adsorbent material comprised of a high Ni content, high surface area material that also contains an effective amount of SiO2 or GeO2 and an alkaline earth metal.
