ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses an economic series flow dewaxing scheme having a first solvent dewaxing step followed by a catalytic dewaxing step. The use of methylisopropyl ketone as a key component in the solvent dewaxing step produces a solvent dewaxed effluent with an intermediate pour point which may be readily catalytically dewaxed to a pour point suitable for lubricant applications. The catalytic dewaxing unit can also be used to recover lost oil yield from the soft wax product of the solvent dewaxing zone (sometimes referred to as footsoil) and thereby sustain, if not increase, overall lubricating oil yield.
