Definition
Distillates (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-26, branched and linear is a complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from a feedstock derived from the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide (the Fischer-Tropsch Process), optionally followed by one or more of the following processes: hydrotreatment, hydroisomerization, hydrocracking. It consists predominantly of branched and linear aliphatic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C8 to C26 and boiling in the range of approximately 120.degree.C to 380.degree.C (248.degree.F to 716.degree.F).
