Abstract
Methods and systems for generating renewable naphtha are provided herein. Some examples include (a) flowing a renewable fuel intermediate composition over a first fixed-bed catalyst in a first reaction zone to generate a saturated, hydrodeoxygenated product. A liquid portion of the renewable fuel intermediate composition may be characterized as having more than about 70 wt % of the oxygen being within ketone groups. Some examples include (b) flowing the saturated, hydrodeoxygenated product of operation (a) over a second fixed-bed catalyst in a second reaction zone to generate an isomerized product comprising the renewable naphtha. The renewable naphtha may include a mixture of mono-branched C/C/C, mono-branched C/C/C, and multi-branched C/C/C, have a research octane number (RON) in the range of about 60-70, and have a motor octane number (MON) in the range of about 65-75.
