Lubricant Base Oil and Wax Processing Avilino Sequeira

INTRODUCTION TO BASE OILS: CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE TANK. While some oil producers blend many individual components to make their motor oils, most oils are made by simply blending three fluids; a DI package, a VI improver, and a base oil. How often should you We base this on the following: Our products are designed to be used very sparingly, less fluid per application, and they offer superior protection to the parts being lubricated. These fluids, however, are the complex . Possible ingredients: petroleum oils, synthetic oils, plant oils, paraffin wax, PTFE (Teflon) and/or polymers. Modern processing techniques do a pretty good job of removing these undesirable components, good enough for well over 90% of the world's lubricant applications, but they cannot remove all of the bad actors. Most products of Crude oil processing are usually grouped into three categories: light distillates (LPG, gasoline, naphtha), middle distillates (kerosene, diesel), heavy distillates and residuum (fuel oil, lubricating oils, wax, tar). You have to separate the different types of hydrocarbons to have anything useful. B) Lube Oil Blending –An Overview for Lube Plants. In the early days of the oil industry, lubricants The feedstocks that move into base oil production have alternative destinations in fuels operations and many of the by-products of base oil production move back to the fuels side for processing and blending. Over time, the wax gets nasty to the point that you feel compelled to replace it lest you re-introduce the contaminants in the waxing process. This classification is based on the way crude oil is distilled and separated into fractions (called distillates and residuum) as can be seen in the above drawing. The two-day event organized by Conference Connection and Petrosil Group will serve as a platform for all senior-level decision makers from the global base oil and lubricant industry. Consultants, marine oil producers and traders, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), surveyors, clearing agents as well as buyers and sellers of transformer oils, liquid paraffins, white oils, petroleum waxes, rubber process oils, greases and others related to the industry such as:-. For the most part, four of the eight, representing greases, wax-based drip lubes, regular oils, and biodegradeable oils, were all very similar, losing about 2 watts over the hour long test.'. In lubricating oils, this wax is removed in a refining process called dewaxing. Lubricants and base oils represent only about 1% of global oil demand, but they have had an outsized influence on the development of the world petroleum industry. Categorized | Oils & Lubricants The Ultra-S base oil is a base oil having a very high viscosity index(VI) that is produced through a hydrocracking, wax hydroisomerization and hydrofinishing process. The secret I was made privy to was that waxing your chain was preferable to using oil type lubricants as far as cleanliness was concerned. Types of lubricants: ADDITIVES USED IN I.L.B. D) In-Line Blending Important characteristics are low pour points, because of wax free nature and excellent solvency power.
