Abstract
Abstract An improved process for catalytically hydrodewaxing a petroleum feedstock selected from a petroleum distillate or residual fraction, by contact of the feedstock and hydrogen with a catalyst is disclosed where the catalyst is a synthetic ferrierite zeolite having incorporated therewith at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group VI B, Group VII B and Group VIII metals.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
In the process for catalytically hydrodewaxing a pretroleum feedstock selected from the group consisting of distillates and residual fractions by contact of said feedstock and hydrogen with a catalyst, the improvement wherein said catalyst is a synthetic ferrierite zeolite having incorporated therewith at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group VI B, Group VII B and Group VIII metals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
In the process for catalytically hydrodewaxing a pretroleum feedstock selected from the group consisting of distillates and residual fractions by contact of said feedstock and hydrogen with a catalyst, the improvement wherein said catalyst is a synthetic ferrierite zeolite having incorporated therewith at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group VI B, Group VII B and Group VIII metals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Mo, W, Co and Ni.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of Pt and Pd.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
