Chevron Lummus Global LLC (CLG) has announced a recent contract award from Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) for a new 12 580 bpd hydroisodewaxing (HIDW) unit at the GasLub Hub, a lubricant plant in Itaboraí, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
CLG’s scope includes the technology license, basic design engineering, and research unit testing services.
Employing CLG's ISODEWAXING and ISOFINISHING technologies, the unit will produce a wide viscosity range of premium API Group II/ II+ lubricating base oil grades for the first time in Brazil and South America.
The addition of this unit is expected to bring significant benefits to the region by minimising existing dependence on imported base oils, which is part of Petrobras' strategy to produce higher value-added and quality products to better serve the market.
