Definitions

  • WO-A-0246333 describes a process to prepare two viscosity grades of base oil by solvent dewaxing a fraction having a T95% point above 621 °C and catalytically dewaxing a fraction having a T95% point of below 621 °C.
  • the two fractions are Fischer-Tropsch derived fractions.
  • the heavier or the lower boiling fraction may also be a slack wax, a distillate from crude oil, deasphalted residual stocks from crude oil.
  • NL-C-1015035 describes a process to prepare a base oil from a Fischer-Tropsch derived feed by performing a hydroisomerisation step.
  • the effluent of the hydroisomerisation step is distilled and a residue boiling above 380 °C is obtained. This residue is subjected to a catalytic dewaxing treatment using a catalyst containing platinum and ferrierite.
  • US-A-6294077 describes a catalytic dewaxing treatment wherein a catalyst is used consisting of ZSM-5 and platinum- US-A-6025305 discloses a process wherein a Fischer- Tropsch wax feed is first hydroisomerised. The effluent of the hydroisomerisation is then separated into fuels and lubricants.
  • ester co-base fluids in lubricant formulations as illustrated in WO-A-0157166 is not desired because such ester co-base fluids are not widely available and thus expensive.
  • Additive solvency may be improved by using a paraffinic base stock, which contains less paraffins.
  • Such base oils may be prepared by hydroisomerisation of petroleum derived waxes followed by a solvent or catalytic dewaxing step.
  • a disadvantage of such a process is that the starting petroleum derived waxes, such as for example slack wax, are not easily obtainable. Furthermore such waxes may not always have the desired high paraffin content needed to make the desired base oils as per this invention.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a process wherein a base oil with a paraffin content of between 75 and 95 wt% is obtained which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art processes.
  • This object is achieved by the following process.
  • Process to prepare a base oil having an paraffin content of between 75 and 95 wt% by subjecting a mixture of a Fischer-Tropsch derived feed and a petroleum derived feed to a catalytic pour point reducing treatment. Applicants found that by mixing a relatively small amount of a petroleum derived feed with a Fischer-Tropsch derived feed before performing a catalytic pour point reducing treatment a base oil may be obtained having the desired properties.
  • the petroleum-derived fraction may in principle be any fraction boiling in the base oil range and containing non-paraffinic compounds.

  • Such processes are for example performed when preparing base oils from a petroleum derived vacuum distillate or de-asphalted oils.
  • the petroleum derived feed preferably has an aromatic compound content of between 0 and 20 wt% and a naphthenic compound content of preferably between 15 and 90 wt%. These contents can be measured by well-known techniques such as the technique described at Example 3 of this specification.

  • Examples of possible fuels hydrocracker processes which may yield a bottoms fraction which can be used in the present process, are described in the above referred to EP-A-699225, EP-A-649896, WO-A-9718278, EP-A-705321, EP-A-994173 and US-A-4851109.
  • Another interesting petroleum derived feed is the fraction obtained in a dedicated base oil hydrotreater- hydrocracker. In such a hydrotreater-hydrocracker the main products will boil in the base oil range. Typically such processes operate at a feed conversion of below 50 wt% and more typically between 20 and 40 wt%. The petroleum derived feed is thus the high boiling fraction as obtained in such a process prior to dewaxing.
  • the fuels hydrocracker is operated in two steps, consisting of a preliminary hydrotreating step followed by a hydrocracking step.
  • nitrogen and sulphur are removed and aromatics are saturated to naphthenes

  • a further advantage is that the boiling range properties, pour point and/or the volatility of the final base oil can be controlled in a simple manner by control of the dewaxing conditions and the optional further distillation of the product obtained in said dewaxing treatment.

It has also been found that for certain applications the end-users do not necessarily require base oils having the high paraffin contents as prepared by the prior art processes which operate on 100 % Fischer-Tropsch derived feed. For these applications blending with mineral derived base oils containing less paraffins will have to take place such to reduce the paraffin content.

As explained above such blending components need to have the right volatility and viscosity to obtain the desired blend.
