  • BRIGHT STOCK AND HEAVY NEUTRAL PRODUCTION FROM RESID DEASPHALTING
    Publication number: 20170183576
    Abstract: Methods are provided for forming lubricant base stocks from feeds such as vacuum resid or other 510° C.+ feeds. A feed can be deasphalted and then catalytically and/or solvent processed to form lubricant base stocks, including bright stocks that are resistant to haze formation.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 27, 2016
    Publication date: June 29, 2017
    Inventors: Timothy L. Hilbert, Michael B. Carroll, Ajit B. Dandekar, Sara L. Yohe, Stephen H. Brown, Tracie L. Owens, April D. Ross, Eric B. Senzer, Steven Pyl, Rugved P. Pathare, Lisa I-Ching Yeh, Bradley R. Fingland, Keith K. Aldous, Anjaneya S. Kovvali, Kendall S. Fruchey
  • INTEGRATED RESID DEASPHALTING AND GASIFICATION
    Publication number: 20170183579
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integration of use deasphalted resid as a feed for fuels and/or lubricant base stock production with use of the corresponding deasphalter rock for gasification to generate hydrogen and/or fuel for the fuels and/or lubricant production process. The integration can include using hydrogen generated during gasification as a fuel to provide heat for solvent processing and/or using the hydrogen for hydroprocessing of deasphalted oil.

  • BRIGHT STOCK PRODUCTION FROM LOW SEVERITY RESID DEASPHALTING
    Publication number: 20170183577
    Abstract: Methods are provided for forming lubricant base stocks from feeds such as vacuum resid or other 510° C.+ feeds. A feed can be deasphalted and then catalytically and/or solvent processed to form lubricant base stocks, including bright stocks that are resistant to haze formation.

  • FLUXED DEASPHALTER ROCK FUEL OIL BLEND COMPONENT OILS
    Publication number: 20170183571
    Abstract: Deasphalter rock from high lift deasphalting can be combined with a flux to form a fuel oil blending component. The high lift deasphalting can correspond to solvent deasphalting to produce a yield of deasphalted oil of at least 50 wt %, or at least 65 wt %, or at least 75 wt %. The feed used for the solvent deasphalting can be a resid-containing feed. The resulting fuel oil blendstock made by fluxing of high lift deasphalter rock can have unexpectedly beneficial properties when used as a blendstock.
