- Optionally valuable fraction (s) (14) are recovered as products.
- streams (4, 7 and 12) need not necessarily be combined before being fed to distillation column (8) but may also be fed separately to column (8) or blended directly into the resulting gas oil blend (9) .
- the individual Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil fractions and their mixtures suitably have a distillation curve which will for its majority be within the typical gas oil range: between about 150 and 370 °C, a T90wt% of between 340-400 °C, a density of between about 0.76 and 0.79 g/cm ⁇ at 15 °C, a cetane number greater than 72.7, suitably between about 74 and 82, a sulphur content of less than 5 ppmw, a viscosity between about 2.5 and 4.0 centistokes at 40 °C and an aromatics content of no greater than 1 wt%.
- a gas oil blend may, next to these Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil blending components, also comprise one or more of the petroleum crude derived gas oil fraction or gas condensate gas oil fractions as described above.
- the type and amount of the crude petroleum derived gas oil components will depend on the application and local environmental regulations.
- the above fuel composition is suited as fuel in an indirect injection diesel engine or a direct injection diesel engine, for example of the rotary pump, in-line pump, unit pump, electronic unit injector or common rail type.
- the fuel composition itself may be an additised (additive-containing) oil or an unadditised (additive- free) oil. If the fuel oil is an additised oil, it will contain minor amounts of one or more additives, e.g.
- additives selected from detergent additives, for example those obtained from Infineum (e.g., F7661 and F7685) and Octel (e.g., OMA 4130D) ; lubricity enhancers, for example EC 832 and PARADYNE 655 (ex Infineum) , HITEC E580 (ex Ethyl Corporation), VELTRON 6010 (ex Infineum) (PARADYNE, HITEC and VELTRON are trademarks) and amide-based additives such as those available from the Lubrizol Chemical Company, for instance LZ 539 C; dehazers, e.g., alkoxylated phenol formaldehyde polymers such as those commercially available as NALCO EC5462A (formerly 7D07) (ex Nalco) , and TOLAD 2683 (ex Petrolite) (NALCO and TOLAD are trademarks); anti-foaming agents (e.g., the polyether- modified polysiloxanes commercially available as
- the additive concentration of each such additional component in the additivated fuel composition is preferably up to 1 %w/w, more preferably in the range from 5 to 1000 ppmw, advantageously from 75 to 300 ppmw, such as from 95 to 150 ppmw.
- the invention will be illustrated by means of the following non-limiting example.
- a 50/50 wt% blend of a Shell MDS Waxy Raffinate and a vacuum gas oil fraction as obtained in the same Shell MDS process was used as feed to a catalytic dewaxing reactor.
- the Shell MDS Waxy raffinate is the high boiling fraction as obtained when hydrocracking the Fischer-Tropsch product.
- a description of this Waxy Raffinate product and its preparation is described in "The Markets for Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis Products", Presentation of Peter J.A. Tijm, Shell International Gas Ltd., Alternative Energy '95, Vancouver, Canada, May 2-4, 1995.
- the blended feed had the properties as listed in Table 1.
- the feed of Table 1 was contacted with a dealuminated silica bound ZSM-5 catalyst comprising 0.7% by weight Pt and 30 wt% ZSM-5 as described in Example 9 of WO-A-0029511.
