Abstract: This application relates to production of renewable fuels, including a method of producing renewable fuels. The method comprises hydrotreating a biofeedstock by contacting reactants comprising a combined feedstock and hydrogen with a hydrotreating catalyst to produce normal paraffins. The combined feedstock comprises a biofeedstock and an additional feedstock. The biofeedstock has about 10% or more of each of metals, phosphorous, and chlorophyll than the additional feedstock. The biofeedstock comprises the metals in an amount of about 300 parts per million (“ppm”) or less, the phosphorous in an amount of about 300 ppm or less, and the chlorophyll in an amount of about 50 ppm or less. The method further comprises isomerizing at least a portion of the normal paraffins to produce branched paraffins in an isomerization effluent.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing a bio-derived feedstock in a commercial scale reactor to form renewable distillate boiling range fractions while managing the heat release. The management of the heat release is achieved in part by introducing 1.0 vol % or more of CO into at least a portion of the reaction environment for hydroprocessing of the bio-derived feedstock. The 1.0 vol % or more of CO can selectively reduce the activity of hydrotreating catalyst for olefin saturation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving product yields and/or product quality during co-processing of fast pyrolysis oil in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) reaction environment. The systems and methods can allow for co-processing of an increased amount of fast pyrolysis oil while reducing or minimizing coke production for a feedstock including fast pyrolysis oil and a conventional FCC feed. The reducing or minimizing of coke production can be achieved in part by adding a low molecular weight, non-ionic surfactant to the mixture of fast pyrolysis oil and conventional FCC feed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for increasing the yield of products generated during co-processing of biomass oil in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) system. The systems and methods can allow for increased yield by reducing or minimizing formation of carbon oxides, gas phase products, and/or coke yields during the co-processing. This can be achieved by adding a hydrogen-rich co-feed to the co-processing environment. Examples of hydrogen-rich co-feeds include high hydrogen content vacuum gas oil co-feed, high hydrogen content distillate co-feed, and/or high hydrogen content naphtha co-feed. Additionally or alternately, various types of fractions that contain a sufficient amount of hydrogen donor compounds can be used to reduce or minimize carbon oxide formation

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. or less

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for converting ethanol and cracking hydrocarbons into ethylene and at least cracked products. A method to convert ethanol and cracking hydrocarbons includes: introducing a hydrocarbon feed into a riser of a fluid catalytic cracking reactor such that hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon feed reacts in the presence of one or more fluid catalytic cracking catalysts to produce at least cracked products; and introducing an ethanol feed into an upper one third of a stripper of the fluid catalytic cracking reactor such that the ethanol reacts in the presence of spent catalyst flowing downwardly from a separator section of the fluid catalytic cracking reactor to produce at least ethylene.
