MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617067487 A) filed by Uop LLC on May 29, 2026, for Process For Converting Oxygenates To Distillate Fuels.
Inventors include Jeroro, Eseoghene; and Serban, Manuela.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: A process is provided to produce increased amounts of cycloparaffin compounds in a methanol to jet fuel process by modifying the olefin oligomerization step that after hydrogenation provides the increased quantities of cycloparaffins for jet fuel. A two stage oligomerization process is employed in which an acidic catalyst such as a zeolite is in one reactor and a metal, such as nickel, on alumina catalyst is in a second reactor. The two stages may be in either order in the process. A small amount of aromatic compounds may be added to the feed to achieve the desired level of cycloparaffins in the product. Adjustments to other aspects of the process may also help to provide a product with higher cycloparaffin content.
