Embodiment Construction

[0010]The following Detailed Description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding Background or the following Detailed Description.

[0011]Various embodiments contemplated herein relate to methods and systems for producing a linear paraffin or olefin product from natural oils. In FIG. 1, an exemplary system 10 utilizing an exemplary process for producing a linear paraffin and / or olefin product from a natural oil feed 14. As used herein, natural oils are those derived from plant or algae matter, and are often referred to as renewable oils. Natural oils are not based on kerosene or other fossil fuels. In certain embodiments, the natural oils include, but are not limited to, one or more of coconut oil, babassu oil, castor oil, algae 1 byproduct, beef tallow oil, borage oil, camelina oil, Canola® oil, choice white grease, cof...

Abstract

A method for producing a linear paraffin includes providing a natural oil in a feed stream, deoxygenating the natural oil to form a stream comprising paraffins, purifying the stream comprising paraffins to form a purified stream comprising paraffins, and separating a first fraction of paraffin product from the purified stream comprising paraffins. A method for producing a linear olefin includes providing a natural oil in a feed stream, deoxygenating the natural oil to form a stream comprising paraffins, dehydrogenating the stream comprising paraffins to form a stream comprising olefins, purifying the stream comprising olefins to form a purified stream comprising olefins, and separating a first fraction of olefin product from the purified stream comprising olefins.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a Division of copending application Ser. No. 13 / 427,706 filed Mar. 22, 2012, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to methods for producing renewable detergent compounds, and more particularly relates to methods for producing linear paraffins and olefins from natural oils.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]While detergents made utilizing linear paraffin- and olefin-based surfactants are biodegradable, processes for creating linear paraffins and olefins are not based on renewable sources. Specifically, linear paraffins and olefins are currently produced from kerosene extracted from the earth. Due to the growing environmental concerns over fossil fuel extraction and economic concerns over exhausting fossil fuel deposits, there is a demand for using an alternate feed source for producing biodegradable surfactants for use ...
