This research has developed a soap-derived biokerosene (SBK) production process to produce hydrocarbons for use as an aviation alternative fuel. The SBK production process was developed in keeping with the conditions of the available technologies and investment while leveraging the advantage of an abundant national feedstock resource that is found in Indonesia in particular, and tropical emerging countries in general. The production of SBK comprises two main processes: saponification and thermal decarboxylation to convert coconut oil into hydrocarbons. The composition of SBK was analyzed and compared to that of Jet A1. Additionally, the critical properties of SBK and several of its blends with Jet A1 were measured and collated with the established jet fuel standard. The results show that SBK can be blended directly with Jet A1 at up to 10 vol.% to meet selected properties: distillation temperature, flash point, density, net heating value, viscosity, freezing point, smoke point, and oxidation stability. From this study, it can be concluded that SBK is feasible for use as a drop-in aviation fuel when blended with conventional jet fuel. Thus, the SBK production is highly promising for use in tropical countries to produce aviation biofuels, given the appropriate technologies and feedstock resources.

这项研究开发了一种肥皂衍生的生物煤油（SBK）生产工艺，以生产用作航空替代燃料的碳氢化合物。SBK生产工艺是根据可用技术和投资条件开发的，同时利用了丰富的国家原料资源的优势，特别是在印度尼西亚，以及整个热带新兴国家，都有这种优势。SBK的生产包括两个主要过程：皂化和热脱羧以将椰子油转化为碳氢化合物。分析了SBK的成分并将其与Jet A1的成分进行了比较。此外，还测量了SBK及其几种与Jet A1的混合物的关键性能，并与既定的喷气燃料标准进行核对。结果表明，SBK可以直接与Jet A1混合，最大混合体积为10。满足所选特性的％：蒸馏温度，闪点，密度，净热值，粘度，凝固点，冒烟点和氧化稳定性。从这项研究可以得出结论，当与传统的喷气燃料混合使用时，SBK可用作直接使用的航空燃料是可行的。因此，鉴于适当的技术和原料资源，SBK的生产极有希望在热带国家用于生产航空生物燃料。
