Patent number: 11162033Abstract: Methods are disclosed for producing renewable base oil and a diesel oil from low-value biological oils. Low-value biological oils containing free fatty acids and fatty acid esters can be processed into a renewable base oil and a renewable diesel oil by first separating at least part of the saturated free fatty acids from the feedstock and then processing separately this saturated free acid feed in a ketonisation reaction followed by hydrodeoxygenation and hydroisomerisation reactions to yield a renewable base oil stream. The remaining free fatty acid depleted feed may be processed in a separate hydrodeoxygenation and hydroisomerisation step to yield a renewable diesel stream.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: NESTE OYJInventors: Sami Toppinen, Pekka Nurmi

Patent number: 10968398Abstract: A method and system for producing ketones, suitable for manufacture of base oil or diesel fuel components, from a feedstock of biological origin containing fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives, and being at least partly in liquid form, by subjecting the feedstock to a catalytic ketonisation reaction, wherein the ketonisation reaction is carried out in a system having one or more ketonisation reactor(s) (A?, B?) each with at least one ketonisation catalyst bed (G?). The method and system for producing ketones use a gas containing CO2 produced in the ketonisation reactors as a carrier gas.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: NESTE OYJInventors: Jaana Kanervo, Sami Toppinen, Pekka Nurmi
