The production of food grade quality white mineral oils from predominantly naphthenic or cycloparaffinic crude distillates heretofore have required acid treating using sulfuric acid followed by neutralization, water wash and possibly finishing step. Herein, however, three stages of hydroprocessing without any solvent extraction or acid treatment prior step are employed to produce the desired food grade quality white mineral oil having a trace of aromatic constituents therewithin. Specific steps are defined in the application in terms of the severity of the hydrogenation in the hydrotreating operation at each respective step; as well as the steps of separating gaseous constituents of the hydroprocessing product. |
