HYDROTREATING AND CATALYTIC DEWAXING PROCESS FOR MAKING DIESEL FROM OILS AND/OR FATS

摘要

Methods for producing C10-C30 hydrocarbons from fatty materials, such as triglyceride compounds, are provided. Hydrocarbon compounds, particularly those boiling in the temperature range of between about 80°F to about 1000°F, are produced by contacting a fatty material with at least one catalyst comprising cobalt and molybdenum on a zeolite support under hydrotreating conditions. Additional hydrotreating catalysts may also be used to further improve the properties of the hydrocarbon product.
