Renewable Engine Fuel And Method Of Producing Same

View page
US Patent:
8313540, Nov 20, 2012
Filed:
Mar 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/717480
Inventors:
John J Rusek - West Lafayette IN, US
Mary-Louise Rusek - West Lafayette IN, US
Jonathon D Ziulkowski - West Lafayette IN, US
Justin D Zink - West Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Swift Fuels, LLC - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:
C10L 1/10
US Classification:
44307, 44605, 435148, 435160, 585240, 585319, 585331, 585357, 585409
Abstract:
The present invention provides non-petroleum high-octane fuel derived from biomass sources, and a method of producing same. The method of production involves reducing the biomass feedstocks to sugars, fermenting the sugars using microorganisms or mutagens thereof to produce ethanol or acetic acid, converting the acetic acid or ethanol to acetone, and converting the acetone to mesitylene and isopentane, the major components of the renewable engine fuel. Trimerization of acetone can be carried out in the presence of a catalyst containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of niobium, iron and manganese. The ethanol can be converted to mesitylene in a dehydration reaction in the presence of a catalyst of zinc oxide/calcium oxide, and unreacted ethanol and water separated from mesitylene by distillation. These ethanol-based, biomass-derived fuels are fully renewable, may be formulated to have a wide range of octane values and energy, and may effectively be used to replace 100 LL aviation fuel (known as AvGas), as well as high-octane, rocket, diesel, turbine engine fuels, as well as two-cycle, spark-ignited engine fuels.

US Classification:
585 14, 585 1, 585 24, 44300
Abstract:
The present invention provides fully renewable turbine and diesel fuels created from biomass sources. In one embodiment, the fully renewable turbine fuel is comprised of mesitylene and at least one alkane. Preferably, the turbine fuel comprises from about 50 to 99 wt % mesitylene and from about 1 to 50 wt % of at least one alkane. In another embodiment the diesel fuel comprises mesitylene, octadecane, and optionally octane or nonane. Preferably, the diesel fuel comprises from about 50 to 99 wt % mesitylene, and from about 1 to 50 wt % octadecane. These biomass derived fuels may be formulated to have a wide range of cetane values and differing freezing and boiling points. A preferred biogenic turbine fuel comprises one or more synthetic paraffinic kerosenes (SPK) and/or hydroprocessed renewable jet (HRJ) fuel; and between about 8 to 25 vol % of mesitylene. Another preferred biogenic turbine fuel is a blend of about 50% petroleum-based fuel; and about 50% of one or more of synthetic paraffinic kerosenes (SPK) and/or hydroprocessed renewable jet fuel (HRJ), and mesitylene.

US Patent:
20080168706, Jul 17, 2008
Filed:
Jul 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/881565
Inventors:
John J. Rusek - West Lafayette IN, US
Mary-Louise R. Rusek - West Lafayette IN, US
Jonathon D. Ziulkowski - West Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Swift Enterprises, Ltd. - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:
C10L 1/18
US Classification:
44308
Abstract:
The present invention provides fully renewable engine fuels derived completely from biomass sources. The fully renewable engine fuel is comprised of one or more low carbon number esters, one or more pentosan-derivable furans, one or more aromatic hydrocarbon, one or more C-Cstraight chain alkanes derivable from polysaccharides, and one or more bio-oils. In addition, the fuel may contain triethanolamine. Such a lower octane renewable fuel may be utilized, for example, in automobile fuel, 100 LL aviation fuel applications, and turbine engine applications. These ethanol-based, fully renewable fuels may be formulated to have a wide range of octane values and energy, and may effectively be used to replace 100LL aviation fuel (known as AvGas), as well as high octane, rocket, diesel, and turbine engine fuels.
