Base oil solvent extraction is a critical process in lube oil refining, where undesirable components like aromatics, sulfur, and nitrogen compounds are removed to improve viscosity index, oxidation stability, and overall performance. While the fundamentals of solvent extraction are well-established, optimizing efficiency remains a challenge. Advanced process control (APC) strategies can significantly enhance yield, reduce solvent consumption, and minimize energy costs.
