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.
Claims20
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.
