Abstract
Relatively heavy and relatively light lube chargestocks are dewaxed in two parallel, separate reactors. The reactor used for dewaxing the relatively light chargestock contains a crystallize zeolite having pore openings defined by: (1) a ratio of sorption of n-hexane to o-xylene, on a volume percent basis, of greater than 3, which sorption is determined at a P/P.sub.o of 0.1 and at a temperature of 50.degree. C. for n-hexane and 80.degree. C. for o-xylene and (2) by the ability of selectively cracking 3-methylpentane (3MP) in preference to the doubly branched 2,3-dimethylbutane (DMB) at 1000.degree. F. and 1 atmosphere pressure from a 1/1/1 weight ratio mixture of n-hexane/3-methyl-pentane/2,3-dimethylbutane, with the ratio of rate constants k.sub.3MP /k.sub.DMB determined at a temperature of 1000.degree. F. being in excess of about 2, e.g., natural and synthetic ferrierite, ZSM-22, ZSM-23, ZSM-35 and mixtures thereof. The reactor used for dewaxing the relatively heavy chargestock contains a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having pore openings defined by: (1) a ratio of sorption of n-hexane to o-xylene, on a volume percent basis, or less than 3, which sorption is determined at a…
