Environmental comparison of straight run diesel and cracked diesel

Diesel production via standalone and co-hydrotreating of catalytic fast pyrolysis oil

“…Diesel in petroleum refineries is processed via hydrotreating of straight-run diesel (SRD), which is directly produced from the petroleum distillation column. 27 Typically, the commercial process of SRD hydrotreating is conducted at a temperature range of 330-350 1C, a pressure range of 41-62 bar, and liquid hourly space velocities of 1-2.5 h À1 to produce diesel with a good cetane number. 28 These conditions are much less severe than those used for standalone hydrotreating of CFP oil to produce low-oxygen products (B400 1C, 4100 bar, LHSV B0.2 h À1 ).…”
