Semi-synthetic jet fuel production, blending, and characterization

有兴趣增加从生物质和有机废物等可再生资源中提取的运输燃料的数量。本研究的重点是半合成航空燃料的生产。半合成喷气燃料是合成煤油和石油衍生煤油50:50的混合物，符合燃料规格。煤油是一种典型的沸点范围为160-260°C的燃料。本研究主要涉及间接液化获得的石油的合成煤油的炼油厂生产，其中涉及不同的转化过程，如加氢加工。煤油一旦生产出来，就必须经过蒸馏、混合和鉴定，以确认它符合商业航空中使用的Jet A-1型燃料的规格。此外，这项工作将包括评估副产品的综合情况，以供加拿大应用。这项工作是在加拿大建立可再生航空燃料生产的大型工业主导项目的一部分。

There is interest to increase the amount of transport fuel derived from renewable resources such as biomass and organic waste. In this study, the focus is on the production of semi-synthetic jet fuel. Semi-synthetic jet fuel is 50:50 blend of synthetic and petroleum derived kerosene that meets fuel specifications. Kerosene is fuel with a typical boiling range of 160-260 °C. The study deals mainly with the refinery production of the synthetic kerosene from oil obtained by indirect liquefaction, which involves different conversion processes, such as hydroprocessing. Once the kerosene is produced, it must be distilled, blended and characterized to confirm that it meets fuel specifications for Jet A-1, the type of fuel used in commercial aviation. Additionally, the work will include an assessment of the integration of by-products for Canadian application. This work forms part of a larger industrially led project to establish production of renewable jet fuel in Canada.
