Abstract:
1. A method for producing a linear paraffin product from natural oil and kerosene comprising: providing a first feed stream comprising kerosene; pre-fractionating the first feed stream to produce a heart cut paraffin stream comprising paraffins in a heart cut range; combining the heart cut paraffin stream with a second feed stream comprising natural oil to form a combined stream; deoxygenating the natural oil to form paraffins, wherein the deoxygenating comprises catalytically deoxygenating the natural oil prior to, at the same time as, or after combining the heart cut paraffin stream with the second feed stream; fractionating the combined stream to remove paraffins that are heavier than the heart cut range; separating linear paraffins from branched or cyclic compounds in the combined stream; and denitrifying and desulfurizing the heart cut paraffin stream.
