  • Publication number: 20220049172
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a multistep process for producing renewable gasoline components from a glyceride containing feedstock. The glycerides are split to provide a stream containing fatty acids, or esters of fatty acids, and another stream containing glycerol and water. Glycerol, preferably as crude glycerol recovered from splitting, is next converted to propanols at vapor phase, providing a renewable propanol gasoline component. Another renewable gasoline component is obtained from hydroprocessing of the fatty acids or esters thereof, as a renewable paraffinic naphtha component. Blending the renewable components can provide a novel 100% renewable gasoline.

  • Patent number: 10894927
    Abstract: Processes for making alkylate gasoline compositions that are more “green” and alkylate gasoline compositions containing “green” renewable naphtha and iso octane are described. Exemplary processes for making alkylate gasoline compositions that are more “green” and compositions of alkylate gasoline compositions containing “green” renewable naphtha, iso octane and iso pentane are described. Such compositions allow a higher mixing ratio of the renewable naphtha and/or a higher Research Octane Number (RON), Motor Octane Number (MON) and vapour pressure compared to not adding a combination of iso-octane and iso-pentane.

  • Publication number: 20200010768
    Abstract: A method comprises conducting hydrodeoxygenation and optionally isomerization of raw material, wherein the method further comprises one or more solvent extraction steps and optionally hydrogenation to remove aromatic and/or naphthenic hydrocarbons from the material. The original aromatic and/or naphthenic content of the raw material is less than 21 vol-%. In the method, the aromatic and/or naphthenic content is reduced by more than 45%, preferably by more than 60%. A composition contains hydrocarbons produced by said method, wherein the total aromatic and/or naphthenic hydrocarbon content of the composition is less than a predefined low value, and C15-C20 i-paraffins are the main fraction of the hydrocarbon content of the composition, weight basis.
