Opis

Highlighting the chemical as well as engineering aspects of processes involved in lubricant base stock production, this book examines modern hydroprocessing technologies—including hydrocracking, hydrofinishing, and catalytic dewaxing—employed in refineries worldwide. The book relates the properties of base stocks to their chemical composition and d
