Low pour middle distillates from wide-cut petroleum fractions

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6983992
A process for simultaneously desulfurizing and dewaxing raw, untreated, high sulfur-containing wide-cut petroleum oil fractions to produce desulfurized middle distillate oils of low pour point with a minimum cracking of the raw fraction to gases which comprises contacting the raw fraction with hydrogen and a catalyst comprising a hydrogenating component and faujasite on an amorphous support is described. A particularly preferred catalyst consists of 95 wt % based on total catalyst of NiO/MoO/sub 3/ on an amorphous silica/alumina support and 5 wt % of nickel-exchanged faujasite.
