Evaluation of Methods to Produce Aviation Turbine Fuels from Synthetic Crude Oils. Phase I.

Abstract

The feasibility of producing aviation turbine fuels from domestic coal and shale derived oils was assessed. Based on petroleum refining technology, the best methods currently available from making fuel products were evaluated for use in producing jet fuels from synthetics. It was concluded that shale oil is most likely to be used in jet fuel manufacturing. Coal liquids, on the other hand, will probably be used to make components for jet fuels and possibly also for new high density jet fuels. As a result of this analysis, it was recommended that shale oil hydroprocessing be emphasized in the experimental phase (Phase II) for producing specification aviation turbine fuels, along with the recommendation that hydroprocessing of coal oil should be studied as a source of jet fuel components and possibly as a new high density jet fuel.
