Diesel and Jet Fuel from Light Condensate

[MartinMas]

Dear all, I would really appreciate your help.

I need to simulate a topping unit which feedstock is light condensate (or natural gasoline). The unit is aimed at producing jet fuel and diesel No. 2.

Could you please give some design recommendations? (typical arrangement, special considerations, typical temperatures, etc.). I have designed these type of units for oil feedstocks but I have not experience with light condensate.

Your help will be very appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

If the unit propose is to producing jet fuel and diesel I do not think that will to usefull to mix the crude with this light condansate. In that case this condensate will produce for sure, more Naphtha (gasoline).

You should try it to put the light condensate like feed for Stabilizer Column, to have a good separation between the light hydrocarbons that contain a lot of C3 fraction. and the naphtha. (result more LPG.)
First you should try to simulate this Stabilizer column, to see if the equilibrium inside is good with that kind of feed.
Try to have a analisys from the lab with the components of the condensate and after that, put it in a simulation program like Hysys.

If you have other questions, please put it here maybe I will help you with an idea

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

Could you post the composition(light ends), IBP and FBP of what you call "light condensate" so I can suggest you what to do?

Dear Mobek, thank you for your interest.
Actually, I have not specific data. It is a condensate which RVP is approximately 12 psia.
Since the job was cancelled, please do not invest your time on this.
Nevertheless, If you could suggest to me just a few ideas about how to deal with this, it will help me for the next time...
Thank you very much.
