Abstract
A process for producing a fuel or fuel blending component from co-processing at least two different classes of renewable feedstocks, is presented. One feedstock comprises glycerides and free fatty acids in feedstocks such as plant and animal oils while the other feedstock comprises biomass derived pyrolysis oil. The source of the animal or plant oil and the biomass may be the same renewable source.
Claims20
A process for producing a fuel from a first renewable feedstocks comprising at least glycerides and a second renewable feedstock comprising at least pyrolysis oil, said process comprising:
- a) treating the first and the second renewable feedstocks concurrently in a first reaction zone by catalytically hydrogenating and catalytically deoxygenating the glycerides and components of the pyrolysis oil using at least one catalyst at reaction conditions in the presence of hydrogen to provide an effluent stream comprising hydrogen, water, carbon oxides, and hydrocarbons;
- and
- b) separating at least hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and water, from the effluent stream and collecting at least a portion of the remainder for use as a fuel or fuel blending component.
