CLG's all hydroprocessing
technology route for base oil production outperforms
all other processing schemes because it selectively concentrates and isomerizes
the molecular structure of wax into desirable isoparaffins. Using
CLG's
technology for base oils, refiners maximize product yields while producing
superior product qualities.
CLG's three-step,
all-hydroprocessing scheme includes:
- ISOCRACKING (or Hydrotreating if processing solvent extracted raffinates)
to increase VI and improve thermal stability
- ISODEWAXING technology to reduce pour point
- ISOFINISHING to improve oxidation stability and color
All-hydroprocessing, the most efficient processing scheme for producing high-quality base oils, includes three steps: ISOCRACKING, ISODEWAXING, and ISOFINISHING.

CLG is a technology licensor
who has experience integrating hydroprocessing
in a variety of base oil processing schemes. Chevron's Richmond Refinery
was the first all-hydroprocessing base oil facility to receive ISO 9002 certification.
