Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for production of renewable jet fuel and/or jet fuel blending component fractions using a single stage reaction system. Although only a single separation stage is used, the systems and methods can reduce or minimize the volume of feedstock that is exposed to hydrocracking conditions while still producing a jet boiling range fraction having beneficial cold flow properties.

Abstract: This application relates to methods and systems that utilize catalytic methods to produce jet fuel such as hydrocarbons with carbons numbers from C9 to C16. Disclosed herein is an example method of producing renewable jet fuel. Examples embodiments of the method include hydrocracking a biofeedstock by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrocracking catalyst to form a hydrocracked biofeedstock. Examples embodiments of the method further include isomerizing at least a portion of the hydrocracked biofeedstock in the presence of a dewaxing catalyst to form a dewaxed effluent. Examples embodiments of the method further include separating the dewaxed effluent to form a renewable jet fuel product.

Abstract: No reliable test presently exists for predicting the amount or type of corrosion a metal surface may experience during field use, particularly when the corrosion can be a result of both acid-induced corrosion and microorganism-induced corrosion mechanisms. Apparatuses affording more field-like testing conditions may comprise: a one-pass fluid train comprising a reservoir configured to maintain a fluid at a first temperature state under anoxic conditions; a pre-conditioning chamber in fluid communication with the reservoir and configured to receive a defined volume of the fluid; an autoclave chamber having an impeller in fluid communication with the pre-conditioning chamber that is configured to receive the defined volume of the fluid from the pre-conditioning chamber; and one or more sampling receptacles in fluid communication with the autoclave chamber that are configured to receive the defined volume of the fluid while maintaining anoxic conditions.
