The present disclosure provides systems and methods for producing aromatic compounds in high yield from a mixed aromatic feed stream. Also disclosed are systems and methods for producing aromatic compounds in high yield from oxygenated hydrocarbons such as carbohydrates, sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar degradation products, and the like.

Systems and methods for producing high purity aromatics from a mixed aromatic feed stream

Processes, catalysts, and reactor systems for reforming heavy aromatic compounds (C) into Caromatic compounds are disclosed. Also disclosed are processes, catalysts, and reactor systems for producing aromatic compounds and liquid fuels from oxygenated hydrocarbons, such as carbohydrates, sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar degradation products, and the like.

Systems and methods for reforming a heavy aromatic stream

The present invention provides methods, reactor systems and catalysts for converting biomass and biomass-derived feedstocks to Chydrocarbons using heterogenous catalysts. The product stream may be separated and further processed for use in chemical applications, or as a neat fuel or a blending component in jet fuel and diesel fuel, or as heavy oils for lubricant and/or fuel oil applications.

Method and systems for making distillate fuels from biomass

By blending a quantity of synthetic cyclo-paraffinic kerosene fuel blending component comprising at least 99.5 mass % of carbon and hydrogen content and at least 50 mass % of cyclo-paraffin into kerosene base fuel, kerosene based-propulsion fuels can be upgraded to higher quality kerosene based-propulsion fuels such as jet fuel or rocket fuel to meet certain specification and/or increase volumetric energy content of the propulsion fuel.

Methods of providing higher quality liquid kerosene based-propulsion fuels
