ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to middle distillates having good cold flow properties, such as the Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) measured in accordance with the IP method (309), and a high Cetane number, as well as to a process for production of such distillates. More particularly, this invention relates to middle distillates produced from a mainly paraffinic synthetic crude which is produced by the reaction of CO and H2, typically by the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process. The middle distillates of the invention are predominantly isoparaffinic, the isoparaffins being methyl, ethyl and/or propyl branched. The invention also provides a diesel fuel composition including the middle distillates in accordance with the invention. A process for preparing the middle distillates is also included in the invention.
