Production of Jet Fuels from Coal-Derived Liquids. Volume 11. Production of Advanced Endothermic Fuel Blends from Great Plains Gasification Plant Naphtha By-Product Stream

Abstract

The U.S. Air Force has an ongoing program to evaluate various endothermic fuels for cooling aircraft structures. The fuels will provide aheat sink by vaporization (latent heat) and endothermic reactions (dehydrogenation) before use as fuel in aircraft engines. Cycloparaffins hold the most promise for use as endothermic fuels. The U.S. Air Force is also evaluating various feedstock sources of endothermic fuels. The technical feasibility of producing endothermic fuel from the naphtha by-product from Great Plains Gasification Plant in Beulah, North Dakota was evaluated. The capital and operating costs of deriving the fuel from coal naphtha were also estimated.
