Hydrofinishing Slides For Refining Presentation

Hydrofinishing is the final step in lubricating oil production that uses a hydrotreating process over catalysts to improve the dewaxed oil's physical and chemical properties by removing sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen and producing a higher quality, more stable product suitable for use as motor oil. The dewaxed oil undergoes hydrotreating in reactors, fractionation to separate base oils, and blending with additives to achieve desired properties through hydrodesulphurization, hydrodenitrogenation, and aromatic hydrogenation reactions over an alumina-supported nickel-molybdenum catalyst.

HYDROFINISHING

Hydrofinishing is the final step in the production of lubricating oil basestocks.


The main aim:
to improve the physical & chemical properties of the product
to produce a higher quality premium product compared to the low quality dewaxed oil (DWO)
product becomes more stable and has better colour suitable to be used as motor based oils.

Process Steps:
1. Dewaxed oil (DWO) is hydrotreated in a series of Reactors
2. Fractionation to separate the different neutral base oils.
3. Base oils blended with additives to obtain products with desired
properties.

Reaction:
. Hydrodesulphurization (HDS), mild hydrodenitrogenation (HDN)
mild aromatic hydrogenation reactions
. Nickel and molybdenum oxides impregnated with high purity alumina extrudes is used as the
catalyst to remove Sulphur, Oxygen & Nitrogen
. Partial pressures of hydrogen is increased, to increase the reaction rate
. This can avoid polymerization & reduces coke formation.
