Method for the Production of Low Carbon Jet Fuel
30 Nov 23
A method to produce a fuel product such as jet fuel, diesel, or single battlefield fuel from a Fischer Tropsch syncrude comprising the steps of: 1) generation of synthesis gas; 2) conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbon products by the Fischer Tropsch reaction; 3) upgrading raw Fischer Tropsch products by hydrocracking and hydroisomerization; 4) converting a portion of the Fischer Tropsch naphtha into aromatic hydrocarbons by dehydrocyclization; 5) hydrogenating CO2 from steps 1 and 2 to make olefinic hydrocarbon products; 6) alkylating aromatics from step 4 with olefins from step 5; and 7) combining the paraffin and iso-paraffin products from step 3 with alkylated aromatics from step 6 and distilling to make a low carbon distillate fuel.

Utility
Method for the production of synthetic jet fuel
27 Jun 23
A method to produce a fuel product such as jet fuel, diesel or single battlefield fuel from a Fischer Tropsch syncrude comprising the steps of: 1) Separating the HFTL product from the reactor effluent gasses at reactor temperature and partially cooling the reactor effluent gas before transferring it to the enhanced hot separator; 2) enhancing the hot separator downstream of the Fischer Tropsch reactor with trays or packing and also adding reflux of the LFTL product, to improve separation efficiency and substantially reduce the C16+ portion of the hydrocarbons in the LFTL product; 3) combining the HFTL and MFTL product to from a combined HFTL product and further processing the combined HFTL in a hydroprocessing reactor that has a stacked bed with a layer of hydrocracking catalyst to crack the waxy C20+ hydrocarbons and a layer of hydroisomerization catalyst to isomerize the light fraction to increase the iso to n-paraffin ratio of the hydroprocessed product; 4) the LFTL product that is not recycled to the hot separator as reflux, bypasses the hydroprocessing reactor and is blended with the hydroprocessed product before distillation; and 5) the combined raw LFTL product and the hydroprocessed product is distilled to make naphtha, a fuel product, and a baseoil product.
