Hydrodeoxygenating a biorenewable feed that is concentrated in free fatty acids with 12 and 14 carbon atoms at a moderate hydrodeoxygenation ratio that is less than the ratio of hydrodeoxygenation utilized for traditional biorenewable feeds such as vegetable oil or even mineral feedstocks, normal paraffins in the range desired by the detergents industry can be produced. Either hydroisomerization or an iso-normal separation can be performed to provide green fuel streams. Two reactors are proposed, one for hydrodeoxygenation of the biorenewable feed that is concentrated in free fatty acids with 12 and 14 carbon atoms and the other for a traditional biorenewable feed or even a mineral feed operated at a higher deoxygenation ratio.
A process for hydroproces sing two feed streams comprising:
An apparatus for producing linear alkyl benzene comprising:
A paraffin feed composition comprising a hydrodeoxygenated stream and a hydrotreated stream, wherein the hydrodeoxygenated stream comprises 35 and 60 wt % of the normal paraffins with even carbon number and the hydrotreated stream comprises at least 30 wt % of the normal paraffins having 14 and 20 carbon atoms.
A paraffin feed composition comprising about 35 wt % to about 60 wt % of the normal paraffins with an even carbon number, a concentration of nC10 in the range of about 1.8 to about 6.7 wt %, a concentration of nC11 in the range of about 6.6 wt % to about 49.2 wt %, a concentration of nC12 in the range of about 23 wt % to about 83.2 wt %, and a concentration of nC13 in the range of about 3.5 wt % to about 26 wt %, and an average molecular weight in the range of about 165.4 to about 167.3.
A paraffin feed composition comprising about 40 wt % to about 55 wt % of the normal paraffins with even carbon number.
