Abstract
Petroleum kerosene (SRK) and its blends with the bio-components palm oil mill effluent (POME) and cardanol in amount of 2 and 5\% were hydrotreated on commercial Co-Mo catalyst in a laboratory trickle bed reactor at temperature of 290°C, liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 1.28 h$^{-1}$, total pressure of 3.0 MPa, H$_2$/Oil ratio of 290 Nm$^3$/Nm$^3$ to simulate co-processing aiming at production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the existing hydrotreating technology employed to manufacture petroleum based Jet-A1 aviation fuel. It was found that increased hydrogen consumption during co-processing bio-feeds was mainly related to hydrodeoxygenation reaction leading to production of H$_... More >
