Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a process for the production of aviation turbine fuel. The process includes the steps of oligomerizing light olefins derived from a high temperature Fisher-Tropsch process over a zeolite catalyst selected from a ZSM-5 (Zeolyst Int., SiO2/A12O3≈30)(COD-9) at pressures of 50 bar with the temperature ranging from 150 to 310° C., distilling from a gasoline fraction of the oligomerisation product, a fraction boiling below 150° C., hydrogenating the distilled oligomerisation fraction over a hydrogenation catalyst, distilling from the hydrogenated hydrocarbon product, fractionating the hydrogenation distillate fraction over a fractionation catalyst and distilling the fractionation hydrocarbon product to produce an aviation turbine fuel (ASH1925) able to meet the requirements as set out for a Synthetic ISO-Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK) as per ASTM D 7566-14a.
