Definitions
- This invention relates to lubricant base oils and lubricant compositions and to methods for making them.
- Lubricant compositions generally comprise a base oil and one or more additives.
- base stocks which are used for base oils are defined as belonging to one of five Groups as set out in Table I below.
- Table I Group Saturated hydrocarbon content (wt%) Sulphur content (wt%) Viscosity Index I ⁇ 90 and/or > 0.03 and ⁇ 80 and ⁇ 120 II ⁇ 90 and ⁇ 0.03 and ⁇ 80 and ⁇ 120 III ⁇ 90 and ⁇ 0.03 and ⁇ 120 IV polyalpha olefins V all base stocks not in Groups I, II, III or IV
- Group I base stocks are generally preferred to Group II base stocks for the manufacture of lubricant compositions for marine 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines, particularly for engines operating on heavy fuel oil.
- Group II base stocks are becoming increasingly more readily available because older manufacturing capacity for Group I basestock is being closed and new manufacturing capacity tends to manufacture Group II base stock.
- Group II base stocks may have some performance disadvantages compared to Group I base stocks when used in some lubricant compositions, for example in marine lubricants. These disadvantages may include poorer dispersancy, poorer seal swell performance, poorer solubility of additives, lower compatibility with fuel oil in marine engine applications (which can lead to deposit formation, for example in cool parts of the engine) and/or in some aspects, poorer oxidative stability.
- Hydroprocessed base stocks may have advantages and disadvantages ( Deckman, D.E. et al., Hart's Lubricants World, July 1997, pages 46 - 50 ) when used in industrial lubricant applications ( Deckman D. E. et al., Hart's Lubricants World, Sept 1997, pages 20-26 ) and in commercial, personal vehicle and marine engine oils ( Deckman D. E. et al., Hart's Lubricants World, Sept 1997, pages 27 - 28 ).
- Base stocks which are made by hydroprocessing have lower aromatics content and lower sulphur content than Group I base stocks.
- GB2083494 , US4777307 , EP0709447 , US2003/100453 , GB1237291 , GB1237292 and DE2656652 relate to hydroprocessed oils. They disclose the addition of either aromatic extracts, aromatic fractions, multiring aromatic compounds or bright stock to these for improving their oxidation stability.
- EP0839891 discloses aromatic process oils for rubber extenders having polycyclic aromatics content less than 3 %.
- Base stocks derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon materials also have a low aromatics content and so may also exhibit at least some of the poorer performance of Group II and Group III base stocks compared to Group I base stocks.
- WO 00/14187 and WO 2005/066314 relate to lubricant compositions comprising Fischer Tropsch derived base stock.
- a liquid marine lubricant base oil composition which method comprises blending: (i) a base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons, the base stockcomprising a hydroprocessed base stock and/or a base stock derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon material, with (ii) 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract which has an aromatics content of 60 to 85% by weight as measured by ASTM D 2007 and a dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content of less than 3 weight % as measured by IP 346, to make a liquid lubricant base oil composition.
- the present invention solves the problem defined above by the use of 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract which has a dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content of less than 3 weight % in a liquid lubricant base oil composition which base oil comprises a base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons.
- This provides a lubricant base oil which overcomes or at least mitigates, at least some of the deficiencies which may be associated with such base stocks.
- the lubricant base oil composition prepared according to the method of the present invention comprises 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract.
- the lubricant base oil composition comprises 0.2 to 18 % or 1.0 to 30 % by weight of the aromatic extract. More preferably, the lubricant base oil composition comprises 1.0 to 18 % by weight aromatic extract.

Description
- This invention relates to lubricant base oils and lubricant compositions and to methods for making them.
- Lubricant compositions generally comprise a base oil and one or more additives. According to API standard 1509, "ENGINE OIL LICENSING AND CERTIFICATION SYSTEM", November 2004 version 15th edition Appendix E, base stocks which are used for base oils are defined as belonging to one of five Groups as set out in Table I below.
Table I Group Saturated hydrocarbon content (wt%) Sulphur content (wt%) Viscosity Index I < 90 and/or > 0.03 and ≥ 80 and < 120 II ≥ 90 and ≤ 0.03 and ≥ 80 and < 120 III ≥ 90 and ≤ 0.03 and ≥ 120 IV polyalpha olefins V all base stocks not in Groups I, II, III or IV - Group I base stocks are generally preferred to Group II base stocks for the manufacture of lubricant compositions for marine 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines, particularly for engines operating on heavy fuel oil. However, Group II base stocks are becoming increasingly more readily available because older manufacturing capacity for Group I basestock is being closed and new manufacturing capacity tends to manufacture Group II base stock.
- Group II base stocks may have some performance disadvantages compared to Group I base stocks when used in some lubricant compositions, for example in marine lubricants. These disadvantages may include poorer dispersancy, poorer seal swell performance, poorer solubility of additives, lower compatibility with fuel oil in marine engine applications (which can lead to deposit formation, for example in cool parts of the engine) and/or in some aspects, poorer oxidative stability.
- Hydroprocessed base stocks may have advantages and disadvantages (Deckman, D.E. et al., Hart's Lubricants World, July 1997, pages 46 - 50) when used in industrial lubricant applications (Deckman D. E. et al., Hart's Lubricants World, Sept 1997, pages 20-26) and in commercial, personal vehicle and marine engine oils (Deckman D. E. et al., Hart's Lubricants World, Sept 1997, pages 27 - 28).
- According to Deckman D. E. et al., in Hart's Lubricants World, Sept 1997, pages 27 - 28, "Because hydrocracking results in a viscosity loss of the base stocks, marine oils cannot generally be formulated solely with hydrocracked base stocks, but require the use of significant amounts of bright stock. However, the use of bright stock is not desirable because of the presence of oxidatively unstable aromatics".
- Base stocks which are made by hydroprocessing, including Group II and Group III base stocks, have lower aromatics content and lower sulphur content than Group I base stocks.
GB2083494 US4777307 ,EP0709447 ,US2003/100453 ,GB1237291 GB1237292 DE2656652 relate to hydroprocessed oils. They disclose the addition of either aromatic extracts, aromatic fractions, multiring aromatic compounds or bright stock to these for improving their oxidation stability.EP0839891 discloses aromatic process oils for rubber extenders having polycyclic aromatics content less than 3 %. - Base stocks derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon materials also have a low aromatics content and so may also exhibit at least some of the poorer performance of Group II and Group III base stocks compared to Group I base stocks.
WO 00/14187 WO 2005/066314 relate to lubricant compositions comprising Fischer Tropsch derived base stock. - There remains a need for a base oil composition which overcomes, or at least mitigates these problems.
- It has now been found that the use of 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract in a base oil comprising base stock, which base stock comprises at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons, can overcome or at least mitigate these problems.
- Thus, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided method of making a liquid marine lubricant base oil composition which method comprises blending: (i) a base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons, the base stockcomprising a hydroprocessed base stock and/or a base stock derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon material, with (ii) 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract which has an aromatics content of 60 to 85% by weight as measured by ASTM D 2007 and a dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content of less than 3 weight % as measured by IP 346, to make a liquid lubricant base oil composition.
- The present invention solves the problem defined above by the use of 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract which has a dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content of less than 3 weight % in a liquid lubricant base oil composition which base oil comprises a base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons. This provides a lubricant base oil which overcomes or at least mitigates, at least some of the deficiencies which may be associated with such base stocks.
- The lubricant base oil composition prepared according to the method of the present invention comprises 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract. Preferably, the lubricant base oil composition comprises 0.2 to 18 % or 1.0 to 30 % by weight of the aromatic extract. More preferably, the lubricant base oil composition comprises 1.0 to 18 % by weight aromatic extract.
- Preferably, the base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons comprises a hydroprocessed base stock and/or a base stock derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon material. The lubricant base oil composition prepared according to the method of the present invention overcomes or at least mitigates, at least one of the deficiencies which may be associated with such base stocks, for example those deficiencies selected from the group consisting of poor dispersancy (for example, of soot and/or deposits), poor seal swell performance, poor solubility of additives and low compatibility with fuel oil in marine engine applications (which can lead to deposit formation, for example in cool parts of the engine), and also in some aspects, poor oxidative stability.
- Thus, according to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an aromatic extract which has an aromatics content of 60 to 85 % by weight as measured by ASTM D 2007 and a dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content of less than 3 weight % as measured by IP 346 in a liquid marine lubricant base oil composition which base oil comprises a base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons, which hydrocarbons comprise a hydroprocessed base stock and/or a base stock derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon material, to mitigate at least one of the deficiencies of the base stock selected from the group consisting of poor dispersancy, poor seal swell performance, poor solubility of additives and low compatibility with fuel oil in marine engine applications.
- In particular, the present invention provides a method which uses a defined amount of aromatic extract, to make a base oil using a hydroprocessed base stock which may comprise for example, a Group II base stock and/or a Group III base stock, and/or using a base stock which may comprise a polyalphaolefin and/or using a base stock derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon material. This base oil can be used in applications where a Group I base stock has conventionally been used, such as for example, in marine engine applications, for example in 2-stroke marine diesel engine cylinder oils, 2-stroke marine diesel engine system oils and 4-stroke marine diesel engine crankcase lubricant compositions.
- The aromatic extract is preferably made by the treatment of at least one refinery process stream in a solvent extraction process. Suitable solvent extraction process include contacting the at least one refinery process stream with a solvent such as furfural, n-methylpyrrolidone, sulphur dioxide, Duo-Sol™ or phenol to selectively extract from the refinery stream, aromatic and heterocyclic materials and to form a solution of these materials in the solvent. The solvent is then recovered from the solution for recycle to the extraction process; the resultant product being the aromatic extract.
- The manufacture of aromatic extracts is known in the art and is described for example in " Lubricant base oil and wax processing" A. Sequeira, pages 81-118, pub. Marcel Dekker Inc. New York, 1994.
- The aromatic extract may be a residual aromatic extract, which may be made by treatment in an extraction process, of solvent deasphalted vacuum residue (also known as DAO) made using Duo-Sol™, propane, butane or mixtures thereof as the solvent for the deasphalting.
- The aromatic extract may be a distillate aromatic extract (DAE) which is an aromatic extract made by treatment in an extraction process, of a distillate stream from a vacuum distillation process. Preferably, the distillate aromatic extract is a treated distillate aromatic extract which is a distillate aromatic extract which has been subjected to at least one further treatment. Suitably, the at least one further treatment is selected from the group consisting of hydrotreatment, hydrogenation, hydrodesulphurisation, clay treatment, acid treatment and further solvent extraction.
- The aromatic extract has an aromatics content of 60 to 85 weight %, which is measured by ASTM D 2007.
- The aromatic extract may have properties such as those described in Concawe Product Dossier 92/101 "Aromatic Extracts".
- The distillate aromatic extract may have a boiling point in the range 250 - 680 °C, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2887. The distillate aromatic extract may have a kinematic viscosity at 40 °C in the range 5 - 18000 mm2/s, which may be measured according to ASTM D 445. The distillate aromatic extract may have a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C in the range 3-60 mm2/s, which may be measured according to ASTM D 445. The distillate aromatic extract may have an average molecular mass in the range 300 - 580, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2887. The distillate aromatic extract may have a carbon number range in the range C15 - C54, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2887. The distillate aromatic extract has an aromatic content in the range 65 - 85 weight %, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2007.
- The residual aromatic extract may have a boiling point of greater than 380 °C, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2887. The residual aromatic extract may have a kinematic viscosity at 40 °C of greater than 4000 mm2/s, which may be measured according to ASTM D 445. The residual aromatic extract may have a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C in the range 60 - 330 mm2/s, which may be measured according to ASTM D 445. The residual aromatic extract may have an average molecular mass of greater than 400, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2887. The residual aromatic extract may have a carbon number range of greater than C25, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2887. The residual aromatic extract has an aromatic content in the range 60 - 85 weight %, which may be measured according to ASTM D 2007.
- Aromatic extracts may comprise polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC's) some of which are carcinogens. The amount of material (weight %) which can be extracted into dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) is used as an indication of the amount of unacceptable material (including polycyclic aromatic compounds) in the aromatic extracts. IP 346 (Institute of Petroleum Test Method 346) is the method used for determining weight % DMSO extract according to the present invention. Aromatic extracts with greater that 3 weight % dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content are classed as carcinogenic and give rise to requirements in several jurisdictions that the material be labelled with certain symbols and risk phrases to identify health, safety and environmental hazards. For this reason at least, the aromatic extract has less than 3 weight % dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content (low PCA extract). More preferably, the aromatic extract is a residual aromatic extract or a treated distillate aromatic extract, with less than 3 weight % dimethyl sulphoxide extractable polycyclic aromatics content.
- Preferably, the aromatic extract does not contain any significant amount of wax, because if present, wax may deposit in use.

Suitably, base stock used in the present invention comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons may comprise a hydroprocessed base stock or a base stock derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesised, waxy, paraffinic hydrocarbon material.

- The base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons preferably comprises a Group II and/or Group III base stock, such as defined according to API standard 1509, "ENGINE OIL LICENSING AND CERTIFICATION SYSTEM", November 2004 version 15th edition Appendix E, comprising at least 95% by weight saturated hydrocarbons.

The manufacture of base stock by hydroprocessing is known in the art and is described for example in "Lubricant base oil and wax processing" A. Sequeira, pages 119 - 152, pub. Marcel Dekker Inc.

US4943672 ,EP-A-0668342 andEP-A-0776959 . Thus, the base stock may be made by the steps of (i) producing Syngas, (ii) Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons from the Syngas, (iii) hydrocracking of the hydrocarbons to produce naphtha and diesel/kerosene fuel process streams together with a waxy paraffinic residue and (iv) hydroisomerising the waxy residue to produce the base stock. - The liquid lubricant base oil composition is prepared according to the method of the present invention by blending a base stock comprising at least 95 % by weight saturated hydrocarbons with sufficient an aromatic extract to make the lubricant base oil composition. The blending may be performed in a batch blending process or in a continuous blending process. Batch blending may be performed by introducing the base stock and aromatic extract into a blend kettle whilst stirring and/or agitating the blending components. Continuous blending may be performed using an in-line mixer to blend the base stock and aromatic extract.
