Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to aviation-grade high-cetane kerosene fuel. More particularly, herein disclosed is an aviation-grade kerosene fuel produced in part or fully from non-petroleum feedstocks. Specifically, the disclosed kerosene fuel comprises at least two independently produced blendstocks, with the first blendstock comprising primarily isoparaffins and normal paraffins (I/N) derived from non-petroleum feedstocks and the second blendstock comprising primarily cycloalkanes and aromatics (C/A) derived from petroleum or non-petroleum feedstocks.
- I/N isoparaffins and normal paraffins
- C/A cycloalkanes and aromatics
- a kerosene fuel suitable for use as aviation turbine fuel having drop-in and fit-for-purpose compatibility with conventional petroleum-derived fuels comprises up to 95 volume % (vol. %) I/N blendstock and up to 35 vol. % C/A blendstock.
- Kerosene is used to describe the fraction of crude petroleum that boils approximately in the range of 293° F. to 572° F. (145° C. to 300° C.) and consists of hydrocarbons primarily in the range of C 8 -C 16 .
- Kerosenes are the lighter end of a group of petroleum substances known as middle distillates.
- Jet A and Jet A-1 are kerosene-type fuels.
- the primary physical difference between Jet A and Jet A-1 is freeze point (the temperature at which wax crystals disappear in a laboratory test). Jet A, which is mainly used in the United States, must have a freeze point of ⁇ 40° C or below, while Jet A-1 must have a freeze point of ⁇ 47° C. or below. Jet A does not normally contain a static dissipater additive, while Jet A-1 often requires this additive.
- ASTM D1655 and Def Stan 91-91/5 standards are additional differences between the two fuels, and full specifications are outlined under the ASTM D1655 and Def Stan 91-91/5 standards, respectively.
- JP-5 and JP-8 are defined by Mil-DTL-5624 and Mil-DTL-83133, respectively. These fuels are kerosene-type fuels made to more exacting specifications than the commercial jet fuels. They also contain unique performance enhancing additives. Throughout the world, many governments have issued a variety of standards such as for TS-1 premium kerosene, TS-1 regular kerosene, and T-1 regular kerosene in Russia. The crude oil fraction for all of these aviation-grade kerosenes is basically limited to the range of 300° F. to 500° F. (149° C. to 260° C.), with additional specifications based on recovery rates at given temperature points. Hydrocarbons are primarily in the range of C 8 -C 16 .
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,645,585 discloses the production of novel fuel blends from hydroprocessing highly aromatic heavy oils such as those derived from coal pyrolysis and coal hydrogenation.
- International Patent WO 2005/001002 A2 relates to a distillate fuel comprising a stable, low-sulfur, highly paraffinic, moderately unsaturated distillate fuel blendstock.
- the highly paraffinic, moderately unsaturated distillate fuel blendstock is prepared from a Fischer-Tropsch-derived product that is hydroprocessed under conditions during which a moderate amount of unsaturates are formed or retained to improve stability of the product.
- Violi et al. An attempt for better modeling of the variety of different hydrocarbon constituents was made by Violi et al. (Violi, A.; Yan, S.; Eddings, E. G.; Sarofim, A. F.; Granata, S.; Faravelli, T.; Ranzi, E.; Combust. Sci. Technol. 2002, 174 (11-12) 399-417). Violi et al.
- JP-8 modeled JP-8 as a six-compound blend of well-known hydrocarbons with the following molar composition: 10% iso-octane (C 8 H 18 ), 20% methylcyclohexane (C 7 H 14 ), 15% m-xylene (C 8 H 10 ), 30% normal-dodecane (C 12 H 26 ), 5% tetralin (C 10 H 12 ), and 20% tetradecane (C 14 H 30 ).
- This surrogate blend simulates the volatility and smoke point of a practical JP-8 fuel.
- this method of reducing the fuel to a mere six-compound blend does not reproduce all required performance specifications of JP-8.

- I/N-C/A fuel refers to aviation-grade kerosene derived from at least two independently produced blendstocks, with a first I/N blendstock derived from non-petroleum feedstocks and a second C/A blendstock derived from petroleum or non-petroleum feedstocks.
- the disclosed I/N-C/A fuel comprises a blend of fuel components, namely straight-chain (normal) and branched (iso-) paraffins, cycloalkanes, and/or aromatics.
- the aviation-grade kerosene herein disclosed is produced from at least two independently-produced blendstocks, with a first blendstock comprising primarily hydrocarbons selected from the group consisting of isoparaffins and normal paraffins (I/N) and derived from non-petroleum feedstocks and a second blendstock comprising primarily hydrocarbons selected from the group consisting of cycloalkanes and aromatics (C/A) and derived from petroleum or non-petroleum feedstocks.
- the finished I/N-C/A jet fuel comprises up to 95 volume % (vol. %) I/N blendstock and up to 35 (vol. %) C/A blendstock.
- Petroleum-based kerosene may be obtained either from the atmospheric distillation of crude oil (“straight-run” kerosene) or from cracking of heavier petroleum streams (“cracked” kerosene).
- the kerosene is further treated by a variety of processes to remove or reduce the level of undesirable components, e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfur, nitrogen, or olefinic materials. This additional processing also reduces compositional variation and enriches components that improve performance (cycloalkanes and isoparaffins, for example).
- hydrodesulfurization treatment with hydrogen to remove sulfur components
- washing with caustic soda solution to remove sulfur components
- hydrogenation to remove, for example, olefins, sulfur, metals, and/or nitrogen components.
- Aromatics that may have formed during the cracking process are removed via solvent extraction.
- hydrodesulfurized kerosene is obtained by treating a kerosene-range petroleum stock with hydrogen to convert organic sulfur to hydrogen sulfide, which is then removed. These subsequent treatments may blur the distinction between straight-run and cracked kerosenes.
- kerosenes While kerosenes are essentially similar in composition, the precise composition of a specific kerosene-range refinery stream depends on the crude oil from which the kerosene was derived and on the refinery processes used for its production. Because they are complex hydrocarbon mixtures, materials in this category are typically not defined by detailed compositional data but instead by process history, physical properties, and product-use ASTM and similar specifications.
- compositional information for the streams in this category is limited.
- major components of kerosenes comprise branched and straight-chain paraffins (iso- and normal or n-alkanes) and naphthenes (cycloparaffins or cycloalkanes), which normally account for at least 75 vol. % of a finished fuel.
- Aromatic hydrocarbons in this boiling range such as alkylbenzenes (single ring) and alkylnaphthalenes (double ring) do not normally exceed 25 vol.
- % of a kerosene product Olefins are usually not present at more than 5% by volume.
- the distillation range of kerosenes is such that benzene (80° C. boiling point) and normal-hexane (69° C. boiling point) concentrations are generally less than 0.01% by mass.
- the boiling points of the 3-7 fused-ring polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are well above the boiling range of straight-run kerosene streams. Consequently, the concentrations of PACs found in kerosenes are very low, if not below the limits of detection of the available analytical methods.
- a detailed analysis of a hydrodesulfurized kerosene illustrates this and is presented as Table 2.
- the herein disclosed I/N-C/A blend fuel comprises at least one I/N blendstock comprising primarily hydrocarbons selected from the group consisting of isoparaffins and normal paraffins, the hydrocarbons derived from non-petroleum feedstock.
- the finished I/N-C/A jet fuel comprises up to 95 vol. % of I/N blendstock.
- I/N blendstock comprises isoparaffin and/or normal paraffin compounds containing primarily from eight to sixteen carbon atoms per molecule (C8 to C16 compounds). In embodiments, these compounds are produced directly via a chemical process such as, but not limited to, Fischer-Tropsch condensation of syngas, thermocatalytic processing of vegetable oils, pyrolysis, liquefaction, and gas-to-liquids processing.
- I/N blendstock is derived from one or a combination of the following feedstocks: natural gas, coal, biomass, vegetable oils, biomass pyrolysis bio-oils, and other biologically-derived oils.
- I/N blendstock can be produced by several routes.
- indirect liquefaction is used to produce I/N blendstock.

- Gasifier effluent 50 may comprise carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and/or ammonia.
- Gasifier effluent 50 is purified and upgraded in step 60 , whereby a contaminant stream(s) 70 comprising, for example, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and/or carbon dioxide is removed.
- Syngas stream 80 comprising primarily CO and H 2 , undergoes liquefaction 90 to yield liquid products 100 .
- liquid products 100 are synthesized from syngas 80 by catalytic Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) processing.
- F-T catalytic Fischer-Tropsch
- the Fischer-Tropsch reactions produce a wide spectrum of oxygenated compounds, in particular, alcohols and paraffins ranging in carbon numbers from C 1 -C 3 (gases) to C 35+ (solid waxes).
- Fischer-Tropsch products yield distillate fuels that comprise C 8 -C 16 paraffins and, through isomerization, C8-C 16 isoparaffins that have excellent cetane numbers and very low sulfur and aromatic content. These properties make F-T products suitable for use as I/N blendstock.
- Fischer-Tropsch distillate fuels are typically unable to meet all military and ASTM specifications and fit-for-purpose requirements. Therefore, as described further hereinbelow, I/N blendstock is blended with C/A blendstock to obtain aviation-grade I/N-C/A fuel.
- I/N-C/A fuel comprises up to 95 vol. % I/N blendstock, alternatively about 90 vol.

- the oils are heterogeneous, with any one component constituting only a fraction of a percent of the total mass.
- the lignite tars may also contain up to 10% of paraffin waxes, so the product has a “butter-like consistency” and solidifies at temperatures as high as 6° C. to 8° C.
- the primary high-temperature tar vapors formed above 700° C. are more homogeneous.
- the light oils are predominantly benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) and the tars are bitumen-like viscous mixtures that contain high proportions of polycondensed aromatics.
- BTX xylenes
- the pyrolysis tars and oils are not suitable final fuel products. Often they are unstable, and when warmed, they polymerize and become more viscous.

- hydroliquefaction coal 210 is mixed with recycled coal oil 230 and, together with hydrogen 240 , fed to high-pressure catalytic reactor 220 where hydrogenation of coal 210 takes place.
- solvent extraction also termed “solvent refining,” coal 210 and hydrogen 240 are dissolved at high pressure in a recycled coal-derived solvent 230 which transfers hydrogen 240 to coal 210 .
- phase separation 260 wherein gases 270 and ash 280 may be removed from coal liquid 250 which may be further cleaned and upgraded by refinery procedures to produce liquid fuels 290 .
- solvent refining with a low level of hydrogen transfer, a solid, relatively clean fuel termed “solvent refined coal” 290 is obtained.
- solvent refined coal As in pyrolysis, the compounds are similar to the coal tars and highly aromatic in nature. Hydrogenation and selective catalytic processing, as known to one of skill in the art, may be performed to yield a mix of cycloalkanes and aromatics that provide the C/A blendstock.
