Question 88: What FCC products are candidates for blending into jet fuel? What are the limitations and considerations?

LARSON (KBC Advanced Technologies, Inc.)

A review of our clients worldwide did not find any client that was blending any FCC product with just sweetening into jet. Limiting issues would be olefins (gum formation) and aromatic and potentially naphthalene content of unhydrotreated FCC jet boiling range components. Hydrotreated FCC product has the potential to be blended to jet provided the blended product meets the jet specification closely monitoring gum, aromatics, smoke, and/or naphthalene content. Some corporate policies prohibit any cracked stocks blended to jet fuel.
