Abstract:
A process for the production of a synthetic naphtha fuel suitable for use in Compression Ignition (CI) engines, the process including at least the steps of:a) hydrotreating at least a condensate fraction of a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis reaction product of CO and H2, or a derivative thereof; b) hydrocracking at least a wax fraction of the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis product or a derivative thereof; c) fractionating the hydrocracked fraction of step b) to obtain desired synthetic naphtha fuel components; and d) blending said components of step c) with the hydrotreated fraction of step a) in a desired ratio to obtain a synthetic naphtha fuel having desired characteristics for use in a Compression Ignition (CI) engine.
