Claim 6:
7. A process for hydrodeoxygenating two feed streams comprising:
hydrodeoxygenating a first biorenewable feed stream selected from palm kernel oil, coconut oil and babassu oil in the presence of hydrogen and a first hydrodeoxygenation catalyst to produce a first hydrodeoxygenated stream;
hydrodeoxygenating a second biorenewable feed stream in the presence of hydrogen and a second hydrodeoxygenation catalyst to provide a second hydrodeoxygenated stream, wherein the second biorenewable feed stream comprises less than 30 wt % free fatty acids having 12 and 14 carbon atoms,
operating the hydrodeoxygenation of the second biorenewable feed stream at a greater hydrodeoxygenation ratio than the hydrodeoxygenation of the first biorenewable feed stream, wherein the hydrodeoxygenation ratio is the proportion of mass flow rate of normal paraffins with even carbon number to mass flow rate of normal paraffins in hydrodeoxygenation reaction product;
fractionating the first hydrodeoxygenated stream to provide a light normal paraffin stream and a heavy normal paraffin stream; and
mixing a portion of the second hydrodeoxygenated stream with the light normal paraffin stream or the heavy normal paraffin stream.
