A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11859143B2) discloses a novel hydrocarbon composition designed for use in fuels, particularly jet fuels. The composition consists of isomerized paraffins with specific temperature cut-off ranges and a density between 768.0 to 772.0 kg/m3, as per ASTM D4052 standards. The average carbon number of the hydrocarbons falls within the range of 14.3 to 15.1, ensuring optimal performance and characteristics for fuel applications.
Moreover, the patent includes a method for producing this unique hydrocarbon composition from renewable feedstock containing fatty acids. The process involves deoxygenating the feedstock to produce paraffins, subjecting them to isomerization to obtain isomerized paraffins, and fractionating them to achieve the desired composition. The resulting hydrocarbon composition possesses specific temperature cut-off points, density, and carbon number, making it suitable for use as a fuel or fuel component, especially in jet fuels. This innovation opens up possibilities for more sustainable and efficient fuel options in the aviation industry, meeting stringent performance requirements while utilizing renewable resources.
