Abstract:
The bio-jet fuel manufacturing process is a process of manufacturing biomass-derived jet fuel that can replace the existing fossil-based jet fuel through fermentation of the hydrolyzed sugar by-product of the plant biomass. It includes an alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) process with bio-ethanol was encouraged by modification with essential aviation fuel additives to the advantages of the physicochemical properties under ASTM D7566 aviation specifications. The main characteristics of the contemporary jet fuel in terms of the boiling point, acid number, aromaticity, sulfur content, flash point, cetane index, freeze point, viscosity and heat of combustion were compared with bio-ethanol with seven sub-components (Anti-Knock, anti-oxidant, static dissipater, corrosion inhibitors, fuel system Icing inhibitor, biocide, and thermal stability) as additives that can actively engage bioethanol as an aviation fuel source with zero greenhouse gasses possibility.
