Hydroisomerization & Hydrofinishing

Axens Solutions' HyDeWax™ technology allows the production of high-quality Group III Lube base oils from Unconverted Oil (UCO) from Hydrocracker or from Hydrorefined Vacuum Gasoil (VGO)/Deasphalted Oil (DAO) feedstocks or from 100% Wax feed. The latest combination of hydro-isomerisation and hydrofinishing catalysts will ensure excellent yields and optimum lube quality and stability.

HyDeWAX™

HyDeWax™ is a two-stage process.

During the initial stage the cold flow properties of the UCO (unconverted oil) produced in the hydrocracking reactor or the hydrorefined VGO are improved through hydro-isomerization reactions of the n paraffins. The n-paraffins have poor cold flow properties, the hydro-isomerization step improves the lube base oil cold flow properties considerably while reaching higher yields than with a conventional solvent process scheme. During the hydro-finishing stage, aromatic molecules are saturated and the color and stability of the oil are brought to specification.

HyDeWax™ can also upgrade 100% wax feed in order to produce high quality lubes.
