Claim Text:
1. A method for producing a diesel fuel, comprising: Hydrotreating a feed consisting of a boiling range from 215° F. to 800° F. (102° C. to 427°C.) that includes at least 70 wt % of a biocomponent portion under effective hydrotreating conditions to produce a hydrotreated, substantially deoxygenated feedstream with a sulfur content of less than 50 wppm and a nitrogen content of less than 20 wppm, the effective hydrotreating conditions comprising a pressure of 500 psig or less; Separating gas phase products from liquid phase products in the hydrotreated feedstream; and Dewaxing the hydrotreated feedstream under effective catalytic hydrodewaxing conditions by exposing the feedstream to a ZSM-48 catalyst containing a Group VIII noble metal hydrogenation component at a temperature of 345° C. or less, in the presence of hydrogen to produce a hydrotreated, hydrodevvaxed diesel fuel product having a cetane index of at least 75, a cloud point of −35° C. or less, and an n-paraffin content of less than 10%.
