METHOD FOR PRODUCING GASOLINE ALTERNATIVE AND GASOLINE ALTERNATIVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240110113 titled 'METHOD FOR PRODUCING GASOLINE ALTERNATIVE AND GASOLINE ALTERNATIVE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for producing a gasoline alternative by mixing FT light naphtha obtained through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using renewable power with bioalcohol obtained from biomass.

  • Determining a mixing ratio of bioalcohol to FT light naphtha based on octane values.
  • Determining a hydrogenation ratio for converting olefin to paraffin in FT light naphtha.
  • Hydrogenating the FT light naphtha based on the determined ratio.
  • Mixing the bioalcohol with the hydrogenated FT light naphtha according to the determined ratio.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for producing a gasoline alternative by mixing ft light naphtha obtained through fischer-tropsch synthesis using renewable power with bioalcohol obtained from biomass, includes: determining a mixing ratio of the bioalcohol to the ft light naphtha based on an octane value of the ft light naphtha, a blending octane value of the bioalcohol, and a predetermined target octane value; determining a hydrogenation ratio for hydrogenation of olefin contained in the ft light naphtha to paraffin such that the gasoline alternative has an olefin content ratio of 10 vol % or less based on the determined mixing ratio of the bioalcohol and an olefin content ratio of the ft light naphtha; hydrogenating the ft light naphtha according to the determined hydrogenation ratio; and mixing the bioalcohol with the hydrogenated ft light naphtha according to the determined mixing ratio of the bioalcohol.
