The significant increase in lube yield over competitive technologies, the ultra-clean finished products, and broad feedstock flexibility propelled ISODEWAXING to become the preferred dewaxing process for lubricant base oil production in the world. During the construction process there were between 2,000 and 4,000 construction workers on the site at any one time, which generated around $40m-50m in sales taxes for the Parish of St John the Baptist where the refinery is based. This wax still has lubricating properties. Base oil capacity in the United States totaled 217,300 barrels per day on Jan. Castor oil has been used as a lubricant for decades. Castor Oil would be Why use Castor oil? Its chemical structure allows it to polymerise at high temperatures to form a sticky wax type material often referred as castor varnish. 1, unchanged from 2011, according to American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers' 2012 Lubricating Oil and Wax Capacities Report. The Garyville facility produces: petrol, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, asphalt, lube base oil, slack wax, propane, toluene, xylene, aromatic extract, petroleum pitch, sulphur, propane, propylene, isobutane, asphalt, coke and heavy oil. Synthetics are termed such due to the altering of the base structure to create a set of molecules that retains advantages or improves on them but minimises the disadvantages of a simply processed oil. Instead of removing wax molecules (as in solvent dewaxing) or cracking them to light C3-C8 hydrocarbons (as in classic catalytic dewaxing), the ISODEWAXING® Catalyst isomerizes the wax molecules into lube oil.
