Abstract:
1. A process of upgrading a heavy aromatic-containing hydrocarbon feedstream to a hydrocarbon product having a boiling range within a jet boiling range, the process comprising (a) combining a hydrotreating catalyst, a hydrofinishing catalyst and a hydroisomerization catalyst in one single reactor; and (b) passing the heavy aromatic-containing hydrocarbon feedstream, having a nitrogen content of greater than 232 ppmw, sequentially over the hydrotreating, hydrofinishing, and hydroisomerization catalysts, thereby producing an upgraded reaction product, wherein the upgraded reaction product is a hydrocarbon product having a boiling range within a jet boiling range and having a net heat of combustion of greater than at least 127,000 Btu/gal, and a freezing point below −40° C., and further wherein the hydrocarbon product meets jet fuel specifications.
