<p>Plant or animal oils are processed to produce a fuel that operates at ver y cold temperatures and is suitable as an aviation turbine fuel, a diesel fu el, a fuel blendstock, or any fuel having a low cloud point, pour point or f reeze point. The process is based on the cracking of plant or animal oils or their associated esters, known as biodiesel, to generate lighter chemical c ompounds that have substantially lower cloud, pour, and/or freeze points tha n the original oil or biodiesel. Cracked oil is processed using separation s teps together with analysis to collect fractions with desired low temperatur e properties by removing undesirable compounds that do not possess the desir ed temperature properties.</p> |
