Systems and methods are provided for processing a feed derived from a renewable source to form oligomerized compounds corresponding to waxes, ketone waxes, and/or lubricant boiling range compounds. The oligomerized compounds derived from the renewable source can have various novel properties relative to waxes and/or lubricant boiling range compounds derived from mineral sources or derived from renewable sources in a conventional manner. The oligomerized compounds can be derived from a renewable source including fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives, such as glycerides (including triglycerides) and fatty amides. Optionally but preferably, at least a portion of the fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives can include olefinic bonds.
A ketone wax composition comprising at least about 80 wt % of compounds having a carbon chain length of 27 carbons to 39 carbons, at least about 30 wt % of the compounds having a carbon chain length of 27 carbons to 39 carbons comprising oxygenates, at least a portion of the oxygenates comprising ketones, the ketone wax composition comprising a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of about 3.0 cSt to about 7.5 cSt and a melting point of at least about 78° C., the compounds having a carbon chain length of 27 carbons to 39 carbons comprising at least about 20 wt % of compounds having a first carbon chain length, at least about 20 wt % of compounds having a second carbon chain length, and at least about 20 wt % of compounds having a third carbon chain length, wherein about 20 wt % to about 90 wt % of the compounds having a chain length of 27 carbons to 39 carbons comprise olefins.
