Abstract
The present application provides a one-step refining process of a hydrocarbon feedstock, said process comprising heating said hydrocarbon feedstock with one or more fatty acids or mixtures thereof, at a temperature below 350° C., to obtain a light hydrocarbon product, wherein said light hydrocarbon product obtained in said process contains no heavy hydrocarbons products.

A one-step combined process for preparing a light hydrocarbon product from a non-fractionated or fractionated hydrocarbon feedstock, said process comprising refining, isomerisation and cracking of said non-fractionated or fractionated hydrocarbon feedstock in one step, characterised in that:
- (a) said step comprises heating said hydrocarbon feedstock in a reaction vessel with one or more fatty acids or mixtures thereof, at a vapour temperature below 360° C.,
- (b) said light hydrocarbon product is obtained in said process with a total yield of at least 60% and contains no heavy hydrocarbon products, and
- (c) said process is accompanied by formation of aromatic hydrocarbons.
