The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate a novel catalyst system for the production of JP-4 jet fuels from a whole shale oil on a once-through basis. The dual-catalyst system consists of a pretreat catalyst specifically designed to remove nitrogen, as ammonia, from organo-nitrogen compounds, and the previously developed hydrocracking catalyst. Since hydrocracking activity is critically dependent upon almost total removal of contaminant nitrogen compounds, it was proposed that the use of the dual-catalyst system would significantly improve the process with respect to catalyst lifetimes and feed throughput.
