Jet fuel and arctic diesel fuel production by isodewaxing of waxy middle distillate fractions
Jet fuel with chilling point not higher than 60 degrees C below zero and arctic diesel fuel with cold filter plugin point not higher than 44 degrees C below zero are produced in the isodewaxing process developed by VNII NP JSC based on non-noble metal catalyst (NiMo/ZSM-11/mordenite). Resulting in pilot scale tests with isodewaxing catalyst load 65 cm(3) during 170 h possibility of stable production of fuels met to regulation documents requirement was established. Study of group composition of target fuels shown the achievement of cold flow properties improvement is provided by the predominance in the fuels composition isoalkanes obtained during isodewaxing process.
