VISCOPLEX® dewaxing aids increase yield and profitability

VISCOPLEX^® dewaxing aids are broadly applicable in solvent dewaxing processes (ketone and propane) with a full range of differing lube oil viscosity classes – especially the highly valued bright stocks. They can be implemented fast and easily and do not require major capital expenditure.

VISCOPLEX^® dewaxing aids improve operations in Solvent Dewaxing Units (SDUs) by:

• Reducing the rate of filter blinding
• Reducing the needed filter wash frequency
• De-bottlenecking the rotary drum filters in the SDU
• De-bottlenecking the solvent recovery system in the SDU

VISCOPLEX^® dewaxing aids allow Group I lube refineries to increase
revenues by:

• Increasing throughput in the SDU
• Increasing dewaxed oil yield in the SDU
• Decreasing oil in wax content of the slack wax in the SDU
