  • Preliminary Design of the Green Diesel Production Process by Hydrotreatment of Vegetable Oils
    Student Contest Problem 2018 | EURECHA Preliminary design of the green diesel production process by hydrotreatment of vegetable oils Javier Moreno Fernández-Villamil∗,1 and Aurelio Hurtado de Mendoza Paniagua∗ ∗Polytechnic University of Madrid (ETSII) ABSTRACT In this work, a conceptual design is presented of a HVO/green diesel production unit with a processing capacity of 74 ton/h (500 000 ton/year) of vegetable oils and a production rate of 59 ton/h of diesel. Firstly, an extensive literature review has been conducted regarding the state-of-the-art techniques as well as process equipment, mechanisms of reaction and thermodynamical properties. A market analysis is also presented which estimates feedstock availability and target production rate. With this information, a preliminary Process Flow Diagram is proposed, along with explanations on the type of equipment used and its operating conditions. Process design and simulation has been performed using Aspen Plus®, while Aspen Custom Modeler® has been used to develop more accurate models where necessary. The present study concludes with an analysis of process flexibility, considerations for heat integration and an economic assessment.

Views, findings and publications of the IEA Bioenergy TCP do not necessarily represent the views or policies of the IEA Secretariat or its individual member countries IEA Bioenergy: Task 39 Progress in commercialization of biojet /Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Executive Summary Biojet/ Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) must play a major role if the aviation sector is to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. To meet its carbon reduction targets, large volumes of biojet fuel will be required (likely more than 100 billion litres per year). However, to date, commercialization has been slow and current policies preferentially incentivize the production of other fuels, such as renewable diesel, from the limited available volumes of oleochemical feedstocks. Although alternative lower-carbon intensive propulsion systems based on electric, hybrid- electric and hydrogen will likely be used in the future, in the short-to-mid-term, biojet fuels will predominate. Ongoing challenges with these other alternatives include issues such as “green” electric aircraft being limited in their range and the number of passengers carried while longer term options, such as “green” hydrogen, will require novel supply chains and new aircraft.
