During the construction process there were between 2,000 and 4,000 construction workers on the site at any one time, which generated around $40m-50m in sales taxes for the Parish of St John the Baptist where the refinery is based. Calumet Specialty Products Partners L.P. Now this recent news from Amyris is pretty interesting since I used to cover a little bit of the base oil industry when I wrote articles for Chemical Market Reporter before on lubricants, greases and waxes. Is a Delaware limited partnership and a US based manufacturer of specialty hydrocarbons - chemicals produced from the refining and processing of crude oil and natural gas liquids. You have to separate the different types of hydrocarbons to have anything useful. €�The transition is expected to occur by mid 2011.” The plant produces base oil, process oils and wax. 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). Titolo:Lubricant Base Oil and Wax Processing Autori:Avilino Sequeira Anno pubbl.:1994. Lubricant Base Oil and Wax Processing. [0018] (3) Wax obtained by a lubricating oil dewaxing step (slack wax or the like) and/or synthetic wax obtained by a gas-to-liquid (GTL) process (Fischer-Tropsch wax, GTL wax or the like). Base oil capacity in the United States totaled 217,300 barrels per day on Jan. €�Following a strategic review, Imperial has decided to discontinue the manufacturing of lubricant base stock at its Sarnia refinery site,” Imperial Oil spokesman John Harding told Lube Report. SAE viscosity index >120 - Manufactured by special processes such as isohydromerization. Claxton Crudes with higher paraffin content, such as Tapis, which are produced in Asia, give a higher lube yield and a higher viscosity index (VI) after processing. But Asia is cost advantaged for high-quality base oil production such as Group III and III+ base oils, because of the availability of crudes like Daqing, Minas, Tapis, Arabian light and Murban,” said Amy Claxton, owner of My Energy, a US consultancy that covers lubricants, waxes and gas-to-liquids (GTL). Can be manufactured from base oil or slax wax from dewaxing process. The Garyville facility produces: petrol, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, asphalt, lube base oil, slack wax, propane, toluene, xylene, aromatic extract, petroleum pitch, sulphur, propane, propylene, isobutane, asphalt, coke and heavy oil. 1, unchanged from 2011, according to American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers' 2012 Lubricating Oil and Wax Capacities Report. 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. 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. Slide13: Liquid lubricants Lanolin (wool grease, natural water repellant) Water Mineral oils Vegetable (natural oil) Synthetic oils Others Note: although generally lubricants are based on one type of base oil or another, it is quite possible to use mixtures of the base oils to meet performance requirements.
