Abstract:

The Xijang crude HVGO was tested in a pilot plant to produce high VI base oil by simulated Chevron's all hydrotreating processes. The operation conditions for hydrocracking, hydroiso-dewaxing and hydrofining processes were investigated respectively. It is concluded that APIⅡ+ 8cSt lube base oil can be produced by hydrocracking-hydroiso-dewaing-hydrofining processes. The product yield is high.

Key words: hydrocracking, isodewaxing, viscosity index, base oil
