## Abstract

Process for TDAE-1 and TDAE-2 production is initiated with production of DAE Feeds which have kinematic viscosity at 100° C. ranges 24-67 cSt, followed by mixing them with solvent to yield Mixture of DAE Feed with density ranges 0.75-0.85 kg/liter and further contacting the Mixture of DAE Feed with solvent, like furfural, NMP and DMSO to facilitate a counter current liquid-liquid extraction, wherein the TDAE-1 and TDAE-2 are produced at ratio of polar solvent to Mixture of DAE Feed ranges 1.7-2.0 and 0.5-1.7, respectively. The PCA content of TDAE-1 and TDAE-2 are less than 3% weight and 3-20% weight. The amount of 8 Grimmer polyaromatics hydrocarbon content in the TDAE-1 and TDAE-2 are the same, that is, less than 10 mg/kg including Benzo (a) pyrene substance as much as less than 1 mg/kg.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A treated distillated aromatic extract (TDAE) obtained by a process comprising the following steps:
a. preparing a distillate aromatic extract (DAE) Feed by mixing one, two or three different DAE having different kinematic viscosities, wherein the process for producing the DAE comprises a furfural solvent extraction,
b. mixing the DAE Feed with a diluent to obtain a mixture of DAE Feed having a density of 0.75-0.85 kg/liter, wherein the diluent is selected from n-pentane, isopentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane and isooctane,
c. directing the mixture of DAE Feed to an extractor that has an isothermic temperature, ranges 22-35° C.,
d. contacting the mixture of DAE Feed with a furfural solvent so that a liquid-liquid extraction process with counter current technique take place at an isothermic temperature, ranges 22-35° C.,
e. adjusting a process of separation of interface layers in the extractor thereby transporting a mixture of raffinate and a mixture of extract through a control equipment placed at the lower portion of the column,
f. directing the mixture of raffinate to a solvent recovery unit to separate out the solvent and the diluent from the mixture of raffinate to yield an end product, and wherein the TDAE is characterized by comprising polycyclic aromatic (PCA) 8%-20% weight, the sum of eight types of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (8 Grimmer PAH) less than 10 mg/kg, benzo(a)pyrene (BAP) less than 1 mg/kg, and aromatic carbon type more than 25% weight calculated based on ASTM D2140.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The TDAE according to claim 1, wherein the ratio of diluent to DAE Feed is 1.

### Claim 3

A treated distillated aromatic extract (TDAE) characterized by comprising polycyclic aromatic (PCA) 8%-20% weight, the sum of eight types of poly aromatic hydrocarbon (8 Grimmer PAH) less than 10 mg/kg, benzo(a)pyrene (BAP) less than 1 mg/kg, and aromatic carbon type more than 25% weight calculated based on ASTM D2140.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The TDAE according to claim 3, where in PCA is 8%-14% weight.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The TDAE according to claim 1, wherein the process further comprises a step of:
g. directing the mixture of extract to a solvent recovery unit to separate out the solvent and the diluent from the mixture of extract to yield an end product with high aromatic concentration extract (HACE).

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The TDAE according to claim 5, characterized in that the process further comprises a step of:
h. collecting the separated solvent and the diluent into a container for reutilization at a further extraction process.
