  • SINGLE STAGE RENEWABLE JET PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20240002737
    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.

  • Trim dewaxing of distillate fuel
    Patent number: 10035962
    Abstract: Methods and catalysts are provided for performing dewaxing of diesel boiling range fractions, such as trim dewaxing, that allow for production of diesel boiling range fuels with improved cold flow properties at desirable yields. In some aspects, the methods can include use of dewaxing catalysts based on an MEL framework structure (ZSM-11) to provide improved dewaxing activity. In some aspects improved dewaxing is achieved operating at lower pressures and with higher amounts of organic nitrogen slip from hydrotreatment.
