Abstract: A jet boiling range composition is provided with an unexpected distribution of carbon chain lengths for the hydrocarbons and paraffins in the composition. The hydrocarbon composition corresponds to a jet boiling range composition that includes 40 wt % or more of hydrocarbons and/or paraffins that have carbon chain lengths of 17 carbons or 18 carbons. Additionally or alternately, the hydrocarbon composition can contain 45 wt % or less of C14-C17 hydrocarbons and/or paraffins. This unexpected distribution of carbon chain lengths in a jet boiling range composition can be achieved for a composition that has a freeze point of ?40° C. or lower and a flash point of 38° C. or higher. Optionally, the jet boiling range composition can also have a T10 distillation point of 205° C. or less (such as down to 150° C.) and a final boiling point of 300° C.

Abstract: Kerosene boiling range or jet fuel boiling range compositions are provided that are formed from crude oils with unexpected combinations of high naphthenes to aromatics weight and/or volume ratio and a low sulfur content. The resulting kerosene boiling range fractions can have an unexpected combination of a high naphthenes to aromatics weight ratio, a low but substantial aromatics content, and a low sulfur content. Such fractions can potentially be used as fuel after a reduced or minimized amount of additional refinery processing. By reducing, minimizing, or avoiding the amount of refinery processing needed to meet fuel and/or fuel blending product specifications, the fractions derived from the high naphthenes to aromatics ratio and low sulfur crudes can provide fuels and/or fuel blending products having a reduced or minimized carbon intensity.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for co-processing of renewable distillate fractions with mineral fractions to produce at least a jet (or kerosene) boiling range product and a diesel boiling range product. A combination of a jet boiling range product fraction and a diesel boiling range product fraction with unexpected properties can be formed by first blending i) a distillate boiling range feed fraction containing a renewable distillate component with ii) a mineral feed fraction (possibly corresponding to a whole or partial crude oil) that includes diesel boiling range compounds to form a blended composition. The blended composition can then be fractionated to form a jet boiling range product fraction and a diesel boiling range product fraction. Optionally, the resulting jet boiling range product fraction and/or diesel boiling range product fraction can be exposed to further processing, such as hydroprocessing or catalytic cracking.
