- Mineral oils all start as crude oil. In this video we examine how different processes are used to separate different lubricant fractions, and filter for desirable components in a finished lubricant, while explaining the impact that these processes have on physical and chemical characteristics of the finished product.

Can you do a video on how mineral oil it turned into base lotion for hands and skin? Do the just mix it at high speed and entrain air like how you mix whip cream or butter?
This channel is gold! I just got a laboratory engineer position at a lubricant mixing plant. I will be continuing watching.
Congratulations on the new job Maria!
I don't know how I ender up here but I learnt something know today.
Glad to hear you learnt something! The wonder of the TH-cam algorithm, hahaha.
you are such amazing person iam egyption engineer hope to thank you for your work
my english is very poor forgive me
hardly try to translate your lectures into arabic to understand every point
Thanks so much for commenting! Glad you’re getting information out of the videos!
It's so funny and curious to see no thumbs down in your vids. Amazing job. I missed this type of content is way underestimated at this time. Greeting from Ukraine.
Really appreciate your comment!
Interesting, thanks!
Very nicely explained .
Thank you so much 🙂
It truly is amazing you get all this from boiling
U r amazing bro and experienced
Thanks Soo much
It helps me more than u can imagine ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad to help!! Let us know if there are any specific topics you would like to see.
@Lubrication Explained
Yes I hope to explain more about difference between aromatic, non aromatic and antiaromatics
Also types of additives e.g antiwear & ppd ..etc
And how to add them into oil (sequence and time period)to be applicable in certain application
And the mechanism
Thanks in advance🥰
Unfortunately, we come from the application side of lubricants technology, so don’t have much experience on the manufacturing side of things. We’ll be able to explain the differences in base oil and additive technologies, but probably won’t be able to talk much about manufacturing processes.
@@LubricationExplained any visual representation of alkanes/paraffins vs aromatics (3D structure) that will really set the mind working
Thanks sir
Welcome!
Hi, I read from some lubricants company about hydrotreating and hydroisomerization process. Are those in your video for they used proprietary names or they are different from what you presented? Thanks
Hydrotreating generally comes before hydrocracking. It's done at milder reactor temperatures and removes impurities - hydrocracking generally cracks open napthene and benzene rings. I'm no manufacturing specialist, but believe hydrotreating is done first because the impurities can poison the catalysts used in the hydrocracking process.
@@LubricationExplained your explanation and jargon makes it more clearer since you did not mention company coined terms. the term poison is something new to me. So the claim of Pennzoil is possible at 99.5% pure so the catalyst is minimally poisoned?
Is the video like a C20-C50 oil?
What do you think about the hypothesis that oil is actually made by the earth, not dead organisms.

I spent 30 years both boiling oil & formulating engine oils but one thing has always annoyingly eluded me. Why are Group I base oils referred to as Solvent NEUTRAL Oils (eg 150SN)? I get the 'Solvent' bit but why add the 'Neutral'? I've never, ever come across a Solvent ACIDIC oil or Solvent BASIC oil so why the persistent need to add Neutral? Also I notice that Group IIs typically dump the S for Solvent but still retain the N for Neutral. Why???
PS - went to both PRA Adelaide & BP Kwinana back in the '80s. Sad to see both fall by the wayside...
I answered my own question. It's the VGO feedstocks that are referred to as 'neutral oils'. My old refinery didn't have a vacuum tower so this passed me by. The 'neutral' moniker must just carry over to the refined base oil. Also, on investigation, it seems that certain crudes (eg Californian ones) can have a high TAN, not because they are 'sour' (ie contain H2S) but because they contain heavy naphthenic acids which reside in the VGO boiling range. Presumably such VGOs are NOT neutral oils (although I suspect they might well be after solvent extraction). Mystery solved!!
So to sum it up it comes from dead dinosaurs body fat 😂
