RAFFINATE HYDROCONVERSION PROCESS

摘要

A process for upgrading a wax-containing feedstock to produce a wax and a high VI/low volatility lubricating oil base stock. The process comprises subjecting the raffinate from a solvent extraction step (20) to a two step, single stage hydroconversion (42) process wherein the first step involves severe hydroconversion of the raffinate followed by a cold hydrofinishing step (50).
