Abstract
Abstract A method for reducing the pour point of a hydrocarbon oil which comprises contacting said oil under dewaxing conditions with a zeolite dewaxing catalyst thereby forming a dewaxed oil that contains olefins, and contacting said dewaxed oil and said contained olefins with a solid acidic catalyst under conditions effective to increase the stability of said oil.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A method for producing a stabilized hydrocarbon distillate oil which method comprises contacting an unstable distillate oil and a stabilizing amount of an olefinic naphtha in the gasoline boiling range which contains olefin having at least 4 carbon atoms, with an acidic porous solid stabilization catalyst at a temperature of about 300° to 500° F., a pressure of about 50 to 500 psig, and a liquid hourly space velocity of about 0.25 to 5.0 LHSV, provided that wherein said olefinic naphtha is obtained by catalytically dewaxing a wax-containing distillate oil by contacting said oil with a zeolite dewaxing catalyst, said zeolite dewaxing catalyst has a silica to alumina mole ratio ranging from about 12 to 200.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
116 words
A method for producing a stabilized hydrocarbon distillate oil which method comprises contacting an unstable distillate oil and a stabilizing amount of an olefinic naphtha in the gasoline boiling range which contains olefin having at least 4 carbon atoms, with an acidic porous solid stabilization catalyst at a temperature of about 300° to 500° F., a pressure of about 50 to 500 psig, and a liquid hourly space velocity of about 0.25 to 5.0 LHSV, provided that wherein said olefinic naphtha is obtained by catalytically dewaxing a wax-containing distillate oil by contacting said oil with a zeolite dewaxing catalyst, said zeolite dewaxing catalyst has a silica to alumina mole ratio ranging from about 12 to 200.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said silica to alumina mole ratio ranges from about 12 to 100.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method described in claim 1 wherein said stabilization catalyst comprises montmorillonite.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method described in claim 1 including the step of removing said olefinic naphtha from said stabilized distillate oil.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method described in claim 1 wherein said olefin is a straight chain olefin and including the step of removing said olefinic naphtha from said stabilized oil.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said olefinic naphtha is obtained by catalytically dewaxing a wax-containing distillate oil by contacting said oil with a zeolite dewaxing catalyst under conditions effective to convert at least some of said wax to olefinic naphtha in the gasoline boiling range to produce a dewaxed distillate oil containing olefinic naphtha.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
