Green Diesel and Jet Fuel from Biomass

Producing diesel and jet-fuel from triacylglycerides, research and development support.

The Intertek PARC Pilot Plant center has extensive experience and capabilities in working with biofuels and triacylglyceride feedstocks to help clients improve and enhance biofuel yields and quality. An example of this is the development of green diesel and jet fuel.

Triacylglycerides can also be converted to green diesel or jet fuel by hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation, followed by isomerization and hydrocracking. The first process hydrogenates the double bonds in the unsaturated chains and deoxygenates the triglyceride to yield water, COx, C3's and paraffins. This deoxygenation step is a highly exothermic reaction and can be mitigated in the pilot plant by various means. Intertek PARC has a proven track-record in handling these feedstocks for biofuel clients looking to confirm, improve, or demonstrate biofuel processing technologies.
