    Abstract: A method of treating non-petroleum or renewable feedstock is carried out by introducing a non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing gums and/or resins into a reactor at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec. The feedstock is heated within the reactor to a temperature of from 700° F. to 1100° F. to convert the feedstock to a reactor product. The reactor product is cooled to form a cooled reactor product. Gases, metals, and water from the cooled reactor product are separated and removed to form a final product. The final product has a gum or resin content that is reduced by 10 wt % to 100 wt % by weight of the initial gum and resin content of the feedstock.

    Abstract: A non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing oxygen and contaminants of metals, gums, and resins is treated by introducing the feedstock into a reactor at a flow velocity of at least 20 ft/sec. The feedstock is heated within the reactor and cooled to form a reduced-temperature reactor product. At least a portion of the reduced-temperature reactor product is feed into a hydroprocessing reactor containing a hydroprocessing catalyst to form a hydroprocessed product. The hydroprocessed product is cooled and non-condensable gases, metals and water are separated and removed to form a final product. The final product has an oxygen content that is 60% or less of that of the feedstock, and wherein the final product comprises 25 wt % or less any triglycerides, monoglycerides, diglycerides, free fatty acids, phosphatides, sterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, or fatty alcohols, from 5 wt % to 30 wt % naphtha, and 50 wt % or more diesel.

    Abstract: A system for treating non-petroleum or renewable feedstocks containing oxygen and contaminants of one or more of metals, gums, and resins comprises a reactor having a heat source for heating an interior of the reactor. The reactor is configured to receive the feedstock at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec within the interior to facilitate heating the feedstock to a temperature of from 700° F. to 1100° F. to form a reactor product. A heat exchanger is configured to cool the reactor product and a separator unit is configured to separate metals, water, and gases comprising C1 or greater hydrocarbons from the cooled reactor product to form a final product. A reformer unit is configured to receive at least a portion of the gases for converting the at least one of C1 or greater hydrocarbons to produce hydrogen gas from the C1 or greater hydrocarbons.

    Abstract: A system for treating non-petroleum or renewable feedstocks comprises a reactor having a heat source for heating an interior of the reactor. The reactor receives a feedstock of a non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing oxygen or contaminants at certain conditions to form a reactor product having gums and resins of the feedstock removed and/or reduced. A first heat exchanger cools at least a portion of the reactor product to a reduced temperature to form a reduced-temperature reactor product. A hydroprocessing reactor receives at least a portion of the reduced-temperature reactor product to form a hydroprocessed product. A second heat exchanger receives the hydroprocessed product to cool the hydroprocessed product to a temperature of 250° F. or less to form a cooled hydroprocessed product. A separator is configured to separate and remove non-condensable gases, metals and water from the cooled hydroprocessed product to form liquid hydrocarbons that form a final product.
