A method is disclosed making a molecular of TON framework type having unique properties. The method uses 1,3,4-trimethylimidazolium cations as a structure directing agent and a combined source of silicon and aluminum selected from alumina-coated silica and aluminosilicate zeolites. The obtained molecular sieve can be used in processes for dewaxing paraffinic hydrocarbon feedstocks.

The present invention relates to a method for producing renewable hydrocarbons from an oxygen containing renewable feedstock, the feedstock comprising dissolved impurities selected from impurities comprising phosphorus and impurities comprising at least one metal, the feedstock further comprising at least one of triglycerides and free fatty acids. The method comprises obtaining a net elementary charge based on phosphorus and the at least one metal of a first feedstock; mixing the first feedstock with an elementary charge balancing component to obtain the feedstock to be purified, which feedstock to be purified has a net elementary charge within a range of from 5 to 15 mmol elementary charge/kg of the feedstock to be purified; subjecting the feedstock to be purified to heat treatment at a temperature of 180-400 C. in order to precipitate compounds containing said phosphorus and said at least one metal; removing formed precipitate compounds comprising said at least one metal and said phosphorus to obtain a purified feedstock; and subjecting the purified feedstock to a hydrotreatment using a catalyst sensitive to at least one of said impurities.

Systems for upgrading pyrolysis oil include a first fixed-bed reactor having a first catalyst bed and a second catalyst bed. The first catalyst bed includes: a first treating catalyst containing alumina, binder, Mo, Ni, and P; a second treating catalyst made of Al.sub.2O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2, NiO, and WO.sub.3; or both. The second catalyst bed includes mixed metal oxide catalyst. The first fixed-bed reactor contacts the pyrolysis oil with hydrogen in the presence of the treating catalyst and the mixed metal oxide catalyst to produce an intermediate stream comprising light aromatic compounds. The system includes a second fixed-bed reactor downstream that includes a mesoporous supported metal catalyst having nickel and tungsten on a mesoporous support. The second fixed-bed reactor contacts the intermediate stream with hydrogen in the presence of the mesoporous supported metal catalyst to produce a second reactor effluent comprising aromatic compounds having six to eight carbon atoms.

Here is provided processes for producing at least one liquid transportation fuel component. In a first mode of running one of the processes, a hydrocarbon feed including nitrogen impurities is subjected to a hydroprocessing in reactor A in a presence of a hydrotreatment catalyst A to obtain a hydroprocessing effluent A, which is subjected, after degassing, to a catalytic hydroprocessing in reactor B to obtain a hydroteratment effluent B, which is fractionated, optionally after degassing, to obtain at least one liquid transportation fuel component, and/or at least an aviation fuel component. In the process, parameters indicative of deactivation of the hydrotreatment catalyst A are monitored and when these reach predetermined values, the process is switched to a second mode of running wherein the order of reactors A and B is changed so that a degassed hydroprocessing effluent B is fed to the reactor A.
