Abstract

Heavy hydrotreated gas oil compositions are provided, along with marine fuel oil compositions and marine gas oil compositions that include a substantial portion of a hydrotreated heavy atmospheric gas oil. The hydrotreated heavy atmospheric gas oil can correspond to a gas oil with a relatively low viscosity and an elevated paraffin content in a narrow boiling range which results in a relatively high cloud point and/or pour point.

Claims (20)

1. A hydrotreated atmospheric gas oil composition comprising a T10 distillation point of 300° C. or more, a T90 distillation point of 440° C. or less, a sulfur content of 0.03 wt % to 0.6 wt %, a SBN of 40 or less, a pour point of 15° C. or more, a difference between the pour point and a cloud point being 10° C. or less, and a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 10.5 cSt to 16 cSt.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a wax end point of 30° C. to 45° C.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a viscosity index of 80 or more.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 0.05 wt % or less of micro carbon residue.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a cetane index of 50 or more.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a sulfur content of 0.1 wt % or more; or wherein the composition comprises a sulfur content of 0.4 wt % or less; or a combination thereof.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a paraffins content of 22 wt % or more.

8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein 40 wt % or more of the paraffins comprise n-paraffins.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the difference between the pour point and the cloud point is 5° C. or less.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. is 14 cSt or less.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a kinematic viscosity at 50° C. of 11.5 cSt or less.

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a density at 15° C. of 0.86 to 0.89 g/cm 3 .

13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a calculated carbon aromaticity index of 790 to 810.

14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 30 wt % to 50 wt % aromatics.

15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a SBN of 37 or less.

16. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a BMCI of 40 or less.

17. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a sulfur content of 0.3 wt % to 0.5 wt %.

18. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a low sulfur fuel oil.

19. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a sulfur content of 0.5 wt % to 0.6 wt %.

20. The composition of claim 19 , wherein the composition comprises a low sulfur fuel oil blendstock.
