Liquid fuel composition and process of making same

Claim 1

A METHOD FOR PREPARATION OF A LIQUID HYDROCARBON COMPOSITION ADAPTABLE FOR USE AS A FUEL FOR GAS TURBINES AND JET ENGINES, SAID COMPOSITION BEING CHARACTERIZED BY HAVING DISTILLATION LOSS, 90% EVAPORATED POINT AND REID VAPOR PRESSURE CHARACTERISTICS AS SET FORTH HEREINAFTER AND PREPARED BY USE OF WIDE CUT DISTILLATE FRACTIONS FROM A PETROLEUM CRUDE WITHOUT NEED FOR USE OF REPRESSURIZING AGENT WHICH COMPRISES DISTILLING A PETROLEUM CRUDE TO OBTAIN A LIGHT LIQUID HYDROCARBON DISTILLATE FRACTION SUBSTANTIALLY DEVOID OF BUTANES AND COMPOUNDS LOWER BOILING THAN BUTANES AND HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF MORE THAN ABOUT 5 BUT NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 12 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH, A 90% EVAPORATED POINT AT A TEMPERATURE NOT IN EXCESS OF ABOUT 350* F., A FINAL BOILING POINT NOT IN EXCESS OF 600* F., AND A DISTILLATION LOSS NOT IN EXCESS OF ABOUT 2% BY VOLUME, AN INTERMEDIATE LIQUID HYDROCARBON DISTILLATE FRACTION HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ZERO, A 90% EVAPORATED POINT BELOW 400* F., AND COMPRISED PREDOMINANTLY OF CONSTITUENTS BOILING WITHIN A RANGE OF ABOUT 325 TO 390* F., AND A HEAVY LIQUID HYDROCARBON DISTILLATE FRACTION HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ZERO, A FINAL BOILING POINT NOT IN EXCESS OF 600* F., A DISTILLATION LOSS OF LESS THAN ABOUT 1.5% BY VOLUME, AND CONTAINING AT LEAST ABOUT 50% BY VOLUME OF CONSTITUENTS BOILING ABOVE 400* F., AND COMBINING SAID LIGHT FRACTION WITH SAID HEAVY FRACTION IN A VOLUME RATIO OF ONE PART OF SAID HEAVY FRACTION TO ABOUT ONE TO ABOUT NINE PARTS OF SAID LIGHT FRACTION TO PROVIDE A LIQUID HYDROCARBON COMPOSITION HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF AT LEAST ABOUT 5 BUT NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 7 LBS. PER SQUARE INCH, A DISTILLATION LOSS NOT IN EXCESS OF ABOUT 1.5% BY VOLUME AND A 90% EVAPORATED POINT AT OVER 400* F.

Claim 2

A METHOD FOR PREPARATION OF A LIQUID HYDROCARBON COMPOSITION ADAPTABLE FOR USE AS A FUEL FOR GAS TURBINES AND JET ENGINES, SAID COMPOSITION BEING CHARACTERIZED BY HAVING DISTILLATION LOSS, 90% EVAPORATED POINT AND REID VAPOR PRESSURE CHARACTERISTICS AS SET FORTH HEREINAFTER AND PREPARED BY USE OF WIDE CUT DISTILLATE FRACTIONS FROM A PETROLEUM CRUDE WITHOUT NEED FOR USE OF REPRESSURIZING AGENT WHICH COMPRISES DISTILLING A PETROLEUM CRUDE TO OBTAIN A LIGHT LIQUID HYDROCARBON DISTILLATE FRACTION SUBSTANTIALLY DEVOID OF BUTANES AND COMPOUNDS LOWER BOILING THAN BUTANES AND HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF MORE THAN ABOUT 5 BUT NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 12 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH, A 90% EVAPORATED POINT AT A TEMPERATURE NOT IN EXCESS OF ABOUT 350* F., A FINAL BOILING POINT NOT IN EXCESS OF 600* F., AND A DISTILLATION LOSS NOT IN EXCESS OF ABOUT 2% BY VOLUME, AN INTERMEDIATE LIQUID HYDROCARBON DISTILLATE FRACTION HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ZERO, A 90% EVAPORATED POINT BELOW 400* F., AND COMPRISED PREDOMINANTLY OF CONSTITUENTS BOILING WITHIN A RANGE OF ABOUT 325 TO 390* F., AND A HEAVY LIQUID HYDROCARBON DISTILLATE FRACTION HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ZERO, A FINAL BOILING POINT NOT IN EXCESS OF 600* F., A DISTILLATION LOSS OF LESS THAN ABOUT 1.5% BY VOLUME, AND CONTAINING AT LEAST ABOUT 50% BY VOLUME OF CONSTITUENTS BOILING ABOVE 400* F., AND COMBINING SAID LIGHT FRACTION WITH SAID HEAVY FRACTION IN A VOLUME RATIO OF ONE PART OF SAID HEAVY FRACTION TO ABOUT ONE TO ABOUT NINE PARTS OF SAID LIGHT FRACTION TO PROVIDE A LIQUID HYDROCARBON COMPOSITION HAVING A REID VAPOR PRESSURE OF AT LEAST ABOUT 5 BUT NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 7 LBS. PER SQUARE INCH, A DISTILLATION LOSS NOT IN EXCESS OF ABOUT 1.5% BY VOLUME AND A 90% EVAPORATED POINT AT OVER 400* F.
