Patent number: 9447344Abstract: The invention relates to a process to manufacture advanced cellulosic gasolines. Dilute organic acids derived from pyrolized biomass are converted to their corresponding alcohols in a stand-alone hydrodeoxygenation unit followed by membrane pervaporation step to remove water. The alcohol product is blended directly into a neat hydrocarbon fuel basestock to make unadditized gasoline.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Sumod Kalakkunnath, Matthew J. Truitt, Jaehoon Bae, Cory B. Phillips

Patent number: 8845766Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for converting biomass-derived hydrocarbon streams into products suitable for use as fuel additives. These methods involve the acidic condensation of hydrocarbon monofunctional alcohols comprising five or six carbon atoms to form ether condensation products containing at least ten carbon atoms. The oxygenated condensation products can be separated from un-reacted alcohols and gasoline range hydrocarbons to provide an oxygenated fuel additive that may be mixed with a diesel or kerosene-type liquid hydrocarbon fuel to provide an improved fuel that may have an increased cetane number, decreased emissions of environmental pollutants during combustion, or both.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventor: Matthew J. Truitt

Patent number: 8617262Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for converting light glycol streams of biological origin into products suitable for use as oxygenated fuel additives. These methods involve the acidic condensation of light glycols to form larger products, termed low molecular weight poly-glycols. The remaining hydroxyl functional groups of the poly-glycol products are then modified to decrease the overall polarity of the products, and improve their suitability for use as an oxygenated fuel additive.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventor: Matthew J. Truitt

Publication number: 20130283679Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for converting biomass-derived streams of hydrocarbon diols into products suitable for use as a biomass-derived fuel additive. These methods involve the condensation of diols comprising five or six carbon atoms to form condensation products containing at least ten carbon atoms. The remaining hydroxyl functional groups of the condensation products are optionally modified to decrease overall polarity of the products, and improve miscibility with liquid hydrocarbon mixtures.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventor: Matthew J. Truitt
