Abstract:

The Energy Environmental Research Center EERC and its partners have developed thermocatalytic technologies to produce a 100 renewable fuel from crop oil-derived triglyceride TAG feedstock that meets the critical military specification requirements of JP-8 as demonstrated by analysis conducted at the Air Force Research Laboratory AFRL. The EERC process has demonstrated the ability to convert many types of crop oil TAG into hydrocarbon products. This project utilized the EERC process to convert algae oil TAG into JP-8 fuel components. The fuel production process included hydrodeoxygenation of the algae feedstock to produce hydrocarbons, isomerization of the hydrocarbons, distillation of the isomerized hydrocarbons, and aromatics blending.
