FUEL PRODUCTION FROM FEEDSTOCK CONTAINING TRIGLYCERIDE AND/OR FATTY ACID ALKYL ESTER

摘要

This invention relates to processes for the production of a fuel composition from a feedstock that comprises lipid material (e.g., bio-material) and mineral oil. The processes can be carried out without producing a significant mount of undesirable side reactions such as cracking, polymerization, and aromatization, which can be an undesirable consequence of large heats of reaction. As a result, the invention provides for the production of a product that is relatively high in quality, and catalyst used in the processes is not adversely affected to any significant extent.
