埃克森美孚将在新加坡项目中生产价值更高的润滑油

据油气新闻6月24日消息称，埃克森美孚周三表示，作为其新加坡渣油升级项目的一部分，埃克森美孚将把其渣油生产升级为更高价值的润滑油基础油和更清洁的燃料。

此举正值对清洁燃料和发动机润滑油的需求增长之际。

预计这家石油巨头在2025年完成新加坡综合炼油和石化设施的升级后，将每天增加约2万桶轻、重和超重润滑油基础油。

埃克森美孚基础油和蜡部门副总裁Todd Sepulveda说：“埃克森美孚正在大规模推出一种独特的高黏度Group II透明和光亮基础油。”

该项目将为市场带来额外的EHC 50和EHC 120等级润滑油品的供应，以及每天高达6000桶的超重基础油，包括新的Group II基础油EHC 340 MAXTM油品。

Sepulveda补充说：“我们将使用专有技术生产EHC 340 MAX油品，这使我们生产的产品具有有别于其他高黏度基础油的性能属性。”

新产品适用于要求超高黏度、低温性能、高氧化稳定性、高黏度指数、高闪点的润滑油。

适用范围包括燃气发动机油、船舶润滑油、润滑脂、发动机油、工业油和齿轮油。

Exxon to produce higher-value lubricants in Singapore project

ExxonMobil will upgrade its residual production into higher-value lubricant base stocks and cleaner fuels as part of its Singapore Resid Upgrade Project, the company said on Wednesday.

The move comes as demand grows for cleaner fuels and lubricants for engines.

The oil major is expected to add about 20,000 barrels per day of light, heavy and extra-heavy lubricant base stocks, when it completes upgrades at its Singapore integrated refining and petrochemical complex in 2025.

“ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) is introducing a unique high-viscosity Group II clear and bright base stock at a large scale,” said Todd Sepulveda, vice president of basestocks & Waxes at ExxonMobil.

The project will bring additional supplies of EHC 50 and EHC 120 grades to the market, and up to 6,000 barrels per day of extra-heavy base stocks, including the new Group II base stock, EHC 340 MAXTM.

“We will produce EHC 340 MAX using proprietary technologies that allow us to manufacture a product with performance attributes that differentiate it from other high-viscosity base stocks,” Sepulveda added.

The new product is suitable for lubricants that require extra high viscosity, low temperature performance, high oxidation stability, high viscosity index, and a high flashpoint.

Intended applications include gas engine oils, marine lubricants, greases, engine oils, industrial oils and gear oils.
