Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method that includes processing, in a hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reactor, at least one of a VFA-derived ketone and/or a co-processing stream to produce a composition that is at least partially bioderived, as determined by ASTM-D6866.

A method comprising:
- processing, in a hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reactor, a volatile fatty acid (VFA)-derived ketone stream and a co-processing stream comprising at least one of a lipid, a fat, an oil, a grease, a petroleum feedstock, a plastic decomposition product, or a combination thereof to produce a composition that is at least partially bioderived, wherein:
- the VFA-derived ketone stream and the co-processing stream are separate streams prior to processing.
A composition comprising:
- n-undecane, 5-ethyl-4-propyl-nonane, trimethylcyclohexane, and n-nonane;
- and
- a flash point between about 36° C. and about 85° C.
