Abstract:
1. A method for making a fuel composition, the method comprising: contacting a fatty acid- or triglyceride-containing component and a paraffin-rich component with hydrogen under catalytic hydroprocessing conditions to provide a hydroprocessed biofuel product, wherein the paraffin-rich component is derived from biomass by a combination of gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis; fractionating the hydroprocessed biofuel product of the contacting of the fatty acid or triglyceride-containing component and the paraffin-rich component with hydrogen, wherein fractionating comprises feeding a hydrogen-containing stripping gas into a hot high pressure separator to selectively separate the hydroprocessed biofuel product into an overhead portion exiting the hot high pressure separator; further fractionating the overhead portion comprising the hydroprocessed biofuel product to recover lower boiling hydrocarbons comprising C wherein the hydroprocessed biofuel product comprises a hydroprocessed aviation biofuel comprising less than about 10% of the C
