Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a copolymer of Formula I. The copolymer exhibits excellent dewaxing ability for dewaxing of fuels. When used for dewaxing, the resultant dewaxed fuel is substantially free of wax, exhibits better pour point, cloud point, and kinematic viscosity. Moreover, the dewaxing proceeds with very good yields. Formula I

A process for dewaxing petroleum product, comprising the steps of: (a) contacting at least one solvent, and at least one polymer as claimed in any of the claims 1-5 to obtain a first mixture; (b) contacting the first mixture, and at least one petroleum product, to obtain the second mixture; (c) filtering the second mixture through a filtering assembly to obtain a residue and a filtrate; (d) washing the residue and the filtrate with at least one solvent to obtain a washed residue and a filtrate with wash; and (e) processing the washed residue and filtrate with wash to obtain the dewaxed petroleum product.
8. The process as claimed in claim 7, wherein the at least one petroleum product is raffinates of lube oil selected from the group consisting of spindle oil, 150 N, 500 N, bright stock, and combinations thereof.
9. The process as claimed in claim 7, wherein the at least one solvent is selected from the group consisting methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), hexane, and combinations thereof.
10. The process as claimed in claim 7, wherein (a) contacting at least one solvent, and at least one polymer as claimed in any of the claims 1-5 to obtain a first mixture is carried out at a temperature in the range of 20 – 35 ?;(b) contacting the first mixture, and at least one petroleum product, to obtain the second mixture is carried out at a temperature in the range of 20 – 35 ? followed by heating the second mixture until a homogeneous second mixture is obtained; (c) filtering the second mixture through a filtering assembly to obtain a residue and a filtrate at a pressure in the range of 180 – 240mm of Hg; (d) washing the residue and the filtrate with at least one solvent to obtain a a washed residue and a filtrate with wash at a temperature in the range of -15 ºC to -35 ºC; and (e) processing the washed residue and filtrate with wash to obtain the dewaxed petroleum product is carried out by removal of solvent.
11. Use of the polymer as claimed in any of the claims 1 – 5 as an additive in solvent dewaxing of , Description:AS ATTACHED
