Abstract:
A process for the catalytic dewaxing of a hydrocarbon feed comprising waxy molecules said process comprising:contacting the hydrocarbon feed under catalytic dewaxing conditions with a catalyst composition comprising metallosilicate crystallites, a binder and a hydrogenation component, in which the weight ratio of the metallosilicate crystallities and the binder is between 5:95 and 35:65 and the metallosilicate crystallites have a crystalline microporous structure and are defined as being built up of three-dimensional frameworks of tetrahedral SiO4 units and tetrahedral M units or tetrahedral SiO4 units and octahedral M units which units are corner linked via oxygen atoms and wherein M represents Al, Fe, B, Ga or Ti or combinations of these atoms.
