Abstract
"In the process of oil refining, a certain fraction of distillate from the crude oil composes the so-called wax distillate fraction from which is obtained the various lubricating oils. But the presence of the waxes and solid paraffins in these oils is very undesirable as they possess no lubricating qualities. Consequently, they must be removed from this wax distillate before the oil can be marketed" – Introduction, page 1.
