A preliminary design for the production of JP-8 jet fuel and other salable products from the Great Plains by-products is given. The design incorporates experimental results from Tasks 2 and 3 with the scoping design from Task 1. The experimental results demonstrated the need for more severe hydrotreating conditions to convert the tar oil to jet fuel than was estimated in Task 1. As a result, capital costs for the ...
Amoco and Lummus Crest have developed seven cases for upgrading by- product liquids from the Great Plains Coal Gasification plant to jet fuels, and in several of the cases, saleable chemicals in addition to jet fuels. The analysis shows that the various grades of jet fuel can be produced from the Great Plains tar oil, but not economically. However the phenolic and naptha streams do have the potential to significantly ...
In a previous study the development of a single catalyst system was reported which had the unique ability to sequentially saturate, denitrogenate and hydrocrack a whole shale oil into high yields of jet fuel on a once through basis. Examination of the kinetics suggested that improvements in the process and in catalyst activity could be achieved by using a dual catalyst system. The dual catalyst system would consist of the ...
