Evaluation of Methods to Produce Aviation Turbine Fuels from Synthetic Crude Oils. Phase II.

摘要

An experimental pilot-plant program is described which has demonstrated that specification JP-4 wide-cut type and Jet A narrow-cut type aviation turbine fuels may be produced from domestic shale oils. Three shale oils and two coal-derived liquids were evaluated in the program, which is the second phase in a three phase overall program. The original whole crude samples were assayed and fractionated to yield kerosene-boiling-range feedstocks for catalytic hydrotreatment experiments. Three levels of hydrotreatment severity were investigated, using nickel-molybdenum and cobalt-molybdenum catalysts. Hydrotreated products were fractionated and reblended to yield finished fuels. The experimnetally obtained process and analytical information will be used in the third phase of the program to provide a basis for an engineering and and economic evaluation of the effect of the use of synthetic crude oil in a refinery processing both petroleum and synthetic crude.
