Premium synthetic lubricant base stock having at least 95% non-cyclic isoparaffins

A premium synthetic lubricating oil base stock having a high VI and low pour point is made by hydroisomerizing a Fischer-Tropsch synthesized waxy, paraffinic feed wax and then dewaxing the hydroisomerate to form a 650-750 DEG F.+ dewaxate. The waxy feed has an initial boiling point in the range of about 650-750 DEG F., from which it continuously boils up to at least 1050 DEG F. and has a T90-T10 temperature difference of at least 350 DEG F. The feed is preferably hydroisomerized without any pretreatment, other than optional fractionation. The 650-750 DEG F.+ dewaxate is fractionated into two or more base stocks of different viscosity.

Production of synthetic lubricant and lubricant base stock without dewaxing

A lubricating base stock useful for forming lubricants such as a multigrade automotive oils, automatic transmission oils, greases and the like is prepared by hydroisomerizing a waxy hydrocarbon feed fraction having an initial boiling point in the 650-750 DEG F. range and an end point of at least 1050 DEG F., synthesized by a slurry Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis process. The hydroisomerization forms a hydroisomerate containing the desired base stock which is recovered, without dewaxing the hydroisomerate. The hydroisomerization is conducted at conditions effective to convert at least 67 wt. % of the 650-750 DEG F.+ waxy feed hydrocarbons to lower boiling hydrocarbons. When combined with a standard lubricant additive package, these base stocks have been formed into multigrade automotive crankcase oils, transmission oils and hydraulic oils meeting the specifications for these oils.
