PROCESS FOR LOW-HYDROGEN-CONSUMPTION CONVERSION OF RENEWABLE FEEDSTOCKS TO ALKANES

摘要

A process relating to the manufacture of hydrocarbons, particularly paraffins/alkanes, from fatty acid feedstocks. More specifically, a process relating to the manufacture of paraffins/alkanes from fatty acid feedstocks comprising an olefinic bond saturation followed by a deoxygenation process carried out using decarboxylation achieving a maximum feedstock conversion to a paraffin product while consuming a minimum amount of hydrogen.
