Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0697455A2] Process for producing a hydrowax comprising the steps of (a) hydrocracking a blend obtained by blending at least one distillate fraction and a deasphalted oil (DAO); (b) separating from the hydrocracker effluent a fraction of which at least 90% by weight has a boiling point of 370 DEG C or higher (the 370+ fraction); and (c) separating the 370+ fraction in a top-fraction and a bottom-fraction at an effective cutpoint below 600 DEG C, thus yielding the hydrowax as the top-fraction. The hydrowax thus produced is a very suitable feedstock for a steam cracker for the production of ethene. The hydrowax can also be very suitably applied as a feed for the production of lubricating base oils. <MATH>
