Process for synthetic jet fuel from bio- and waste-oil

从生物油和废油中合成喷气燃料的过程利用生物质和有机废物等可再生资源生产运输燃料的挑战在于，这些材料的地理分布广泛，单位质量的能量含量低于化石燃料。正在开发的合成燃料工艺利用分散的设施将生物质和废物转化为生物油和废油。这些油具有更高的单位质量能量含量，可以更经济高效地运输到中央设施，在那里对石油进行加工以生产运输燃料。该工艺的一个具体目标是生产合成喷气燃料。利用生物油和废油的另一个挑战是石油成分的多变性。石油组成的差异是通过混合石油并将混合石油转化为合成气来管理的。合成气作为费托合成的原料。其目的是直接利用净化后的合成气，而不是调整其组成，从而使工艺更简单、成本更低。然而，这需要一些开发工作来适应费托合成，这是该项目的重点领域之一。由于费托合成的变化，也有必要注意精制。Fischer-Tropsch产品必须经过精炼，以确保它们符合加拿大的运输燃料要求，这是该项目的另一个重点领域。将执行的工作构成了一个更大的工业主导的开发的一部分，该开发跨越了所描述的所有过程步骤。

Process for synthetic jet fuel from bio- and waste-oilThe challenge with producing transport fuel from renewable resources, such as biomass and organic waste, is that these materials are geographically widely distributed and have a lower energy content per unit mass than fossil fuels. The process for synthetic fuel that is under development makes use of distributed facilities to convert the biomass and waste into bio-oil and waste-oil. These oils have a higher energy content per unit mass and can be transported more cost effectively to a central facility where the oils are processed to produce transport fuels. A specific aim of the process is to produce synthetic jet fuel. A further challenge in making use of bio- and waste-oils, is the variability in oil composition. Differences in oil composition are managed by blending the oil and converting the blended oil into synthesis gas. The synthesis gas serves as feed for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The intent is to directly make use of the cleaned synthesis gas, instead of adjusting its composition, thereby making the process simpler and less costly. However, this requires some development work to adapt the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, which is one of the focus areas of the project. As a consequence of the changes in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, it is also necessary to pay attention to refining. The Fischer-Tropsch products must be refined to ensure that they meet Canadian transport fuel requirements, which is another focus area of the project. The work that will be performed forms part of a larger industrially led development that spans all of the process steps that were described.
