(57)Abstract
The invention concerns a process for irnproving the pour point of a feed comprising paraffins containing more than 10
carbon atoms, in which process the feed to be treated is brought into contact with a catalyst comprising NU-86 zeolite
and at least one hydro-dehydrogenating element, at a temperature which is in the range 170Û & WR Û & D SUHVVXUH LQ
the range 1 to 250 bar and an hourly space velocity in the range 0.05 to 100h -1 , in the presence of hydrogen in a
proportion of 50 to 2000 1/1 of feed. The product from heavy feeds is fractionated to produce at least one cut
including at least one middle distillate with a reduced pour point, and a residue including oil bases with a reduced
pour point and a high viscosity index.
The NU-86 zeolite is preferably dealuminated.
