The present disclosure provides base aviation gasoline formulations. In addition, the present disclosure provides formulations in which one or more additives can optionally be added to the base aviation gasoline formulation to produce a finished aviation gasoline formulation.

Aviation gasoline compositions

A process for producing gasoline blending components from a heavy hydrocarbon composition comprising alkyl aromatics by transalkylation of said alkyl aromatics with benzene is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the process comprises (a) feeding said heavy hydrocarbon composition comprising alkyl aromatics and said benzene as feed to a cracking unit; and (b) contacting said alkyl aromatics and said benzene with cracking catalyst at catalytic cracking conditions of elevated temperature and pressure to produce transalklyation products. Also, provided is a process, for producing gasoline blending components from the jet aromatics content of jet fuel and reducing the benzene content of a benzene-rich light gasoline stream, said process comprising operating a catalytic cracker at conventional catalytic cracking conditions and reacting in said catalytic cracking reactor said aromatic jet fuel with said benzene-rich light gasoline stream to convert at least a portion of said benzene-rich gasoline and at least a portion of said jet aromatics to toluene and xylenes. The catalytic cracker can be a fluid catalytic cracker, moving bed catalytic cracker and fixed bed catalytic cracker.
