<p>Discloses novel biodegradable high performance hydrocarbon base oils useful as lubricants in engine oil and industrial compositions, and process for their manufacture. A waxy, or paraffinic feed, particularly a Fischer-Tropsch wax, is reacted over a dual function catalyst to produce hydroisomerization and hydrocraking reactions, at 700 DEG F+ conversion levels ranging from about 20 to 50 wt.%, preferably about 25-40 wt.%, sufficient to produce a crude fraction, e.g., a C5-1050 DEG F+ crude franction, containing 700 DEG F+ isoparaffins having from about 6.0 to about 7.5 methyl branches per 100 carbon atoms in the molecule. The methyl paraffins containing crude fraction is topped via atmospheric distillation to produce a bottoms fraction having an initial boiling point between about 650 DEG F and 750 DEG F which is then solvent dewaxed, and the dewaxed oil is then fractionated under high vacuum to produce biodegradable high performance hydrocarbon base oils.</p> |
