TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The feedstock of biological origin comprises fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, fatty olefins, mono-glycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids or saccharolipids. Preferred Method: The method further comprises: providing hydrogen; and adding water to the feedstock of biological origin. EXAMPLE - Catalytic conversion of oxygenated feed was conducted on a high pressure heated orbital shaker high-throughput device, which is a collection of small batch reactors contained in a heated, high pressure enclosure. Individual batch reactors consist of a 40 mm deep well with an internal volume of 5.15 cm3. Each individual well was charged with a catalyst comprising 0.6 wt.% of platinum impregnated 65/35 steamed H-ZSM-48 and titanium dioxide along with 18-pentatriacontanone feed and run at 800 psig hydrogen, at 350 degrees C, and weight hourly space velocity of 1-2 per hour over a course of 24 hours to produce 3,7,30-trimethyl-dotriacontane with 100% conversion.
