Patent number: 7282616Abstract: A process for converting an olefin feed to hydrocarbons suitable for fuel components or their feedstock. According to the process, an olefin feed, possibly together with another hydrocarbon feed, is contacted in a reactor with a catalyst in order to produce a hydrocarbon having at least one alkyl side chain. In the invention, the olefin feed is contacted with a particle-form fluidized catalyst in a circulating-bed reactor, wherein the catalyst forms the circulating bed of the reactor. When the operation is carried out in a circulating-bed reactor, the retention time of the feedstock is short. In this case, iso-olefins are formed quite selectively from n-olefins in isomerization. Since the useful life of the catalyst lengthens while the catalytic activity of the bed remains high for a long time, the conversion level also remains high. A long useful life of the catalyst is an economically highly significant advantage.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Fortum OyjInventors: Jouko Nikkonen, Jyrki Hiltunen, Jaana Makkonen, Marja Tiitta, Isto Eilos, Pasi Hagelberg

Patent number: 7232935Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a hydrocarbon component of biological origin. The process comprises at least two steps, the first one of which is a HDO step and the second one is an isomerization step operated using the counter-current flow principle. A biological raw material containing fatty acids and/or fatty acid esters serves as the feed stock.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: June 19, 2007Assignee: Fortum OYJInventors: Juha Jakkula, Vesa Niemi, Jouko Nikkonen, Veli-Matti Purola, Jukka Myllyoja, Pekka Aalto, Juha Lehtonen, Ville Alopaeus
