A hydrocracking process for maximization of naphtha while producing base oil is disclosed. The hydrocracking process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feed stream in a hydrocracking unit in the presence of a hydrogen stream and a hydrocracking catalyst to produce a hydrocracked effluent stream. The hydrocracked effluent stream is separated in a separator to provide a vapor hydrocracked stream and a liquid hydrocracked stream. The liquid hydrocracked stream is fractionated to provide a naphtha stream, a kerosene stream, a diesel stream and a first unconverted oil stream. A recycle stream comprising a portion of the kerosene stream, a portion of the diesel stream, and a portion of the first unconverted oil stream is recycled to the hydrocracking unit to provide a second unconverted oil stream. A remaining portion of the first unconverted oil stream is withdrawn for base oil production.

Methods and systems for manufacturing lubrication oils are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a lubrication oil includes the steps of receiving into an adsorber unit an unconverted oil (UCO) feedstock comprising five and six ring polynuclear aromatic (PNA) compounds and contacting the UCO feedstock with an adsorbent to remove PNA compounds, thereby forming a treated UCO feedstock with a low concentration of five and six ring PNAs.
