Claim Text:
1. A process for producing jet fuel components, comprising: a) generating or providing syngas; b) converting the syngas using an alcohol-synthesis catalyst to a first stream comprising methanol, ethanol, and, optionally, higher alcohols; c) separating the methanol from the ethanol and, optionally, higher alcohols, d) converting at least some of the methanol to dimethyl ether, e) converting the dimethyl ether to one or more jet fuel range hydrocarbons and aromatics using a zeolite catalyst, f) dehydrating the ethanol and, optionally, higher alcohols to form ethylene and, optionally, higher olefins, g) oligomerizing the ethylene and, optionally, higher olefins to produce olefins in the jet fuel range, h) optionally hydrogenating and/or isomerizing the olefins in the jet fuel range to form paraffins in the jet fuel range, and i) combining one or more products from step c) with one or more of the products of step h).
