Abstract
Future trends in jet fuel quality are examined in terms of available refinery charge stocks and competition with other products. The processing requirements of differing alternative crude sources are reviewed, highlighting the problem of hydrogen availability for anticipated processing. The role and impact of alternatives to petroleum crudes are reviewed and the resultant effect on jet fuel quality is presented. Increasing competition for middle distillates and decreasing competition for lighter naphtha fractions is pointed out as is the importance of balancing jet fuel quality against aircraft and engine development and operating costs. Continuing research to develop information for such studies is recommended.
