23/03/2021 CT Center has all the necessary competencies and equipment for pilot testing of hydrogenation processes in the production of base oils and also to perform any tests related to hydroprocessing on heavy hydrocarbon. Requirements for lubricants, engine oils, and, consequently, for base oils are constantly increasing. In the production lifecycle of base oils hydrogenation processes have undeniable advantages over traditional ones (selective purification, solvents): a higher yield of the final product , less waste.
