Oligomerization-Alkylation in a High-Pressure Reactor with Zeolite Catalysts (AlkyJet)


AlkyJET (ALKYlation to JET fuel) converts light fractions into branched jet-range hydrocarbons by alkylation and oligomerization over zeolite catalysts. The current stage focuses on catalyst design for stable continuous operation, addressing acid-site deactivation, coke, and selectivity [208, 128].

  • Metal and acid site speciation in hierarchical zeolites [208, 198, 151]
  • Deactivating species and regeneration [196, 122]
  • Cascade routes to jet fuel and SAF blendstocks [128, 160]
