Popis: The high efficiency of the two-tower scheme for treatment of I-20 and I-40 lube distillates with phenol and furfural and deasphalting product from mixed Baku waxy crude oils is demonstrated. In treatment with this scheme, it is possible to reduce consumption of furfural: by 2.4 times for I-20 lube oil distillate and by 2 times for I-40 lube oil and deasphalting product. A small increase in the yield of raffinates and dewaxed lube oils is also observed. During dewaxing, the rate of filtration of a cooled solution of raffinates obtained with the two-tower scheme is 1.53–1.7 times higher than for the one-tower scheme. For this reason, the number of vacuum filters in the unit can be decreased.
