A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11859143B2) discloses a novel hydrocarbon composition designed for use in fuels, particularly jet fuels. The composition consists of isomerized paraffins with specific temperature cut-off ranges and a density between 768.0 to 772.0 kg/m3, as per ASTM D4052 standards. The average carbon number of the hydrocarbons falls within the range of 14.3 to 15.1, ensuring optimal performance and characteristics for fuel applications.
Moreover, the patent outlines a method for producing this specialized hydrocarbon composition from renewable feedstock containing fatty acids. The process involves deoxygenating the feedstock to produce paraffins, subjecting them to isomerization to obtain isomerized paraffins, and fractionating them to achieve the desired composition. The resulting hydrocarbon blend possesses specific temperature cut-off points, density, and carbon number, making it suitable for use as a fuel component, especially in jet fuels. This innovative approach offers a sustainable and efficient method for producing high-quality hydrocarbon compositions tailored for specific fuel applications, meeting stringent performance requirements and environmental standards.
