Catalyic dewaxing is used to improve cold flow properties of diesel fuels and lube oils by selective hydroisomerization/ hydrocracking of normal and slightly branched paraffins. SDD/ SLD series catalysts are suited for use in the following applications:
- conventional diesel fuels dewaxing to deep dewaxing (Artic grade production) in 1st and 2nd stage applications,
- in combination with high pressure hydrocracking or mild hydrocracking catalyst package,
- in mild hydrocracker bottoms pour point reduction for storage and transportation and
- to produce lubes of exceptional quality.
