A process for reducing the environmental contaminants in a ISO 8217: 2017 Table 2 compliant Feedstock Heavy Marine Fuel Oil and resulting product, the process involving: mixing a Feedstock Heavy Marine Fuel Oil with a Activating Gas to give a feedstock mixture; contacting the feedstock mixture with one or more catalysts to form a Process Mixture; separating the Product Heavy Marine Fuel Oil from the Process Mixture and, discharging the Product Heavy Marine Fuel Oil. The Product Heavy Marine Fuel Oil complies with ISO 8217:2017 Table 2 for residual marine fuel and the Environmental Contaminants, which are selected from the group consisting of: a sulfur; vanadium, nickel, iron, aluminum and silicon and combinations thereof, are less than 0.5 wt. %. The Product Heavy Marine Fuel Oil can be used as blending stock for an ISO 8217:2017 Table 2 compliant, IMO 2020 compliant, low sulfur heavy marine fuel composition.

A non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing oxygen and contaminants of metals, gums, and resins is treated by introducing the feedstock into a reactor at a flow velocity of at least 20 ft/sec. The feedstock is heated within the reactor and cooled to form a reduced-temperature reactor product. At least a portion of the reduced-temperature reactor product is feed into a hydroprocessing reactor containing a hydroprocessing catalyst to form a hydroprocessed product. The hydroprocessed product is cooled and non-condensable gases, metals and water are separated and removed to form a final product. The final product has an oxygen content that is 60% or less of that of the feedstock, and wherein the final product comprises 25 wt % or less any triglycerides, monoglycerides, diglycerides, free fatty acids, phosphatides, sterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, or fatty alcohols, from 5 wt % to 30 wt % naphtha, and 50 wt % or more diesel.

The invention relates to C.sub.5+ hydrocarbon conversion. More particularly, the invention relates to separating a vapor phase product and a liquid phase product from a heated mixture that includes steam and C.sub.5+ hydrocarbons, catalytically cracking the liquid phase product and steam cracking the vapor phase product.

A multi-stage process for reducing the environmental contaminants in an ISO8217 Table 2 compliant Feedstock Heavy Marine Fuel Oil involving a core desulfurizing process and a Detrimental Solids Removal Unit as a pre-treating step or post-treating step to the core process. The product of the process is a Product Heavy Marine Fuel Oil compliant with ISO 8217 Table 2 for residual marine fuel including a maximum sulfur content (ISO 14596 or ISO 8754) less than 0.5 wt % and a Detrimental Solids content less than 60 mg/kg. A device for conducting the process and producing the product is disclosed.

A catalytic cracking process includes a step of contacting a cracking feedstock with a catalytic cracking catalyst in the presence of a radical initiator for reaction under catalytic cracking conditions. The radical initiator contains a dendritic polymer and/or a hyperbranched polymer. The dendritic polymer and the hyperbranched polymer each independently has a degree of branching of about 0.3-1, and each independently has a weight average molecular weight of greater than about 1000. The catalytic cracking process is beneficial to enhancing and accelerating the free radical cracking of petroleum hydrocarbon and promoting the regulation of cracking activity and product distribution; by using the process disclosed herein, the conversion of catalytic cracking can be improved, the yields of ethylene and propylene can be increased, and the yield of coke can be reduced.

Disclosed is a hydrocarbon composition containing isomerised paraffins having specific cut-off points in a distillation curve, a density from 768.0 to 772.0 and an average carbon number of 14.3 to 15.1. The hydrocarbon composition can be used as a fuel or fuel component, especially a jet fuel. Disclosed is also a method to produce a hydrocarbon composition. The isomerised paraffins in the hydrocarbon composition can be from a renewable source.

The present disclosure relates to methods for preparing aviation fuel component from a feedstock containing fossil hydrotreating feed and a second feed containing esters of fatty acids and rosins, free fatty acids and resin acids. The method includes subjecting the feedstock to hydrotreatment reaction conditions to produce a hydrotreated stream, separating the hydrotreated stream to three fractions from which at least part the highest boiling fraction is subjected to hydrocracking reaction to produce a hydrocracked stream. At least part of the hydrocracked stream is admixed with at least part of the hydrotreated stream, and their admixture is processed further until desired conversion of the feedstock to the aviation fuel component is obtained.
