Description:
The BIC process converts renewable fats, oils, and greases into renewable diesel, jet and naphtha. This process is unique in that it produces fuels that are molecularly nearly identical to fuels produced from petroleum. The nearly identical chemistry results in jet and diesel fuels that are true “drop-in” fuels that do not require blending with petroleum. There are four main steps in the BIC process as shown in the diagram below: (1) a cleanup step, called hydrothermal cleanup (HCU); (2) the conversion step, called catalytic hydrothermolysis (CH), wherein the feed oil molecules are converted to molecules that are nearly identical to those found in petroleum; (3) a hydrotreating step that is identical to the petroleum hydrotreating processes that removes any remaining unwanted impurities (e.g., oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, and metals) down to acceptable levels; and (4) a final distillation step that separates the hydrotreated product into the naphtha, jet, and diesel fuels.
