Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to methods for producing renewable detergent compounds. More specifically, the invention relates to methods for producing detergent intermediates, including bio-linear alkylbenzene (LAB), bio-alcohols, and long chain bio-paraffins, from natural oils.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for producing an alkylbenzene and a detergent alcohol from a natural oil and kerosene comprising:\n a) providing a first feed stream comprising natural oil; b) deoxygenating said first feed stream to form a stream comprising bio-paraffins; c) removing volatile components and gases from said stream comprising bio-paraffins to form a purified bio-paraffin stream; d) fractionating said purified bio-paraffin stream into three fractions, wherein a first fraction comprises a lower boiling range, a second fraction comprises a middle boiling range, and a third fraction comprises a high boiling range; e) providing a second stream comprising kerosene; f) hydrotreating said second stream; g) sieving said hydrotreated second stream to form a stream comprising kerosene-based paraffin; h) combining said first fraction of purified bio-paraffin with said kerosene-based paraffin; i) dehydrogenating said combination of said first fraction of purified bio-paraffin and said kerosene-based paraffin to form a stream comprising olefins; j) alkylating said stream comprising olefins with a third feed stream comprising benzene to form a stream comprising alkylbenzenes; k) dehydrogenating said second fraction of purified bio-paraffin to form a stream comprising olefins and paraffins; l) separating said olefins from said paraffins in said stream comprising olefins and paraffins to form an olefin stream; m) hydroformylating said olefin stream to form a stream comprising detergent alcohols.
