Abstract:
1. A method for producing a polyalphaolefin, the method comprising: a) contacting an alpha olefin monomer and a catalyst system, wherein the alpha olefin monomer comprises at least 80 weight percent of a C b) forming an oligomer product comprising dimers, trimers, and higher oligomers under oligomerization conditions; c) separating an oligomerization reactor effluent comprising the oligomer product to provide a heavy oligomer product, wherein at least a portion of the alpha olefin monomer, dimers, or trimers are removed from the oligomerization reactor effluent to form the heavy oligomer product; and d) hydrogenating the heavy oligomer product to provide the polyalphaolefin; wherein: the polyalphaolefin comprises the polyalphaolefin has
