A process and system for separating a light fraction, a bio-distillate fraction, and a heavy fraction from a bio-oil, and for producing a renewable distillate including at least in part the bio-distillate fraction and a stabilizing additive, is provided. The process comprises separating bio-oil into light, bio-distillate, and heavy fractions based on their boiling points. At least a portion of the bio-distillate fraction and a stabilizing additive are blended with a petroleum-derived-diesel-range stream, without any prior hydrotreatment, to thereby provide a renewable distillate composition.

1. A process for producing a bio-distillate fraction, said process comprising: (a) converting biomass in a conversion reactor containing a catalyst to thereby produce a conversion reactor effluent comprising vapor conversion products;(b) condensing at least portion of said vapor conversion products
1. A process for producing a bio-distillate fraction, said process comprising: (a) converting biomass in a conversion reactor containing a catalyst to thereby produce a conversion reactor effluent comprising vapor conversion products;(b) condensing at least portion of said vapor conversion products to thereby provide a bio-oil having a total oxygen content of less than about 15 weight percent; and(c) separating a bio-distillate fraction from said bio-oil, wherein at least about 75 weight percent of said bio-distillate fraction has a boiling point between about 180° C. and about 380° C., and wherein said bio-distillate fraction comprises at least about 50 weight percent oxygen-free hydrocarbons. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein said bio-distillate fraction has a total oxygen content of less than about 15 weight percent, has less than about 1 weight percent carbonyls, and has less than about 0.5 weight percent carboxylic acid. 3. The process of claim 2 wherein said bio-distillate fraction has less than about 0.5 weight percent aldehydes, and further comprises between about 10 and about 40 weight percent oxygen-and-carbon-containing compounds, wherein said oxygen-and-carbon-containing compounds are selected from the group consisting of phenolics, furans, ketones, aldehydes, and mixtures thereof. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein at least about 5 weight percent of said bio-oil subjected to said separating of step (c) is separated into said bio-distillate fraction. 5. The process of claim 1 wherein said separating of step (c) is accomplished by fractional distillation. 6. The process of claim 1 wherein said bio-oil is not subjected to additional deoxygenation between said converting of step (a) and said separating of step (c). 7. A process for producing a renewable distillate, said process comprising: (a) separating a bio-oil into at least a bio-distillate fraction, wherein at least about 75 weight percent of said bio-distillate fraction has a boiling point between about 180° C. and about 380° C., wherein said bio-oil has a total oxygen content of less than about 15 weight percent and wherein said bio-oil has not previously been subjected to an oxygen-removing hydrotreatment step; and(b) combining at least a portion of said bio-distillate fraction with a petroleum-derived- distillate-range stream, and a stabilizing additive having surfactant properties, to thereby produce a renewable distillate having a single clear phase, wherein said renewable distillate comprises said petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream in an amount of between about 5 weight percent and about 99 weight percent, said bio-distillate fraction in an amount of at least about 0.5 weight percent, and said stabilizing additive in an amount between about 0.5 and about 25 weight percent. 8. The process of claim 7 wherein said stabilizing additive comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: 1) a non-ionic block-copolymer having a Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (HLB) of at most eight; 2) a non-ionic homopolymer having an HLB of at most eight, 3) a mixture of a non-ionic block-copolymer and a non-ionic homopolymer having an average HLB of at most eight; 4) a non-ionic surfactant having an average HLB of at most eight 5) a Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME), or 6) a combination thereof. 9.

The process of claim 8 wherein said stabilizing additive comprises said non-ionic block-copolymer, or said non-ionic homopolymer, or said non-ionic surfactant, or mixtures thereof; and wherein said stabilizing additive and said bio-distillate fraction are either simultaneously or sequentially added to said petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream, thereby forming said renewable distillate. 11. The process of claim 8 wherein said stabilizing additive comprises said FAME; and wherein said bio-distillate fraction is combined with said stabilizing additive prior to combination with said petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream, thereby forming said renewable distillate. 12. The process of claim 7 wherein said petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream is selected from the group consisting of regular distillate, low sulfur distillate, hydroprocessed light cycle oil, hydrotreated straight run gas oil, ultra low sulfur distillate, refinery processed middle distillate, or mixtures thereof. 13. The process of claim 7 wherein said petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream comprises hydrocarbons having between 12 and 25 carbon atoms per molecule. 14. The process of claim 7 wherein at least 5 weight percent of said bio-oil subjected to said separating of step (a) is separated into said bio-distillate fraction. 15. The process of claim 7 wherein said separating of step (a) is accomplished by fractional distillation. 16. The process of claim 7 wherein said bio-oil results from the thermochemical conversion of biomass in the presence of a catalyst. 17. A process for producing a renewable distillate, said process comprising: (a) separating a bio-oil into at least a bio-distillate fraction, wherein at least about 75 weight percent of said bio-distillate fraction has a boiling point between about 180° C. and about 380° C., wherein said bio-oil has not previously been subjected to an oxygen-removing hydrotreatment step; and(b) combining at least a portion of said bio-distillate fraction with a petroleum-derived- distillate-range stream, and a stabilizing additive having surfactant properties, to thereby produce a renewable distillate having a single clear phase, wherein said renewable distillate comprises said petroleum-derived-distillate-range stream in an amount of between about 5 weight percent and about 99 weight percent, said bio-distillate fraction in an amount of at least about 0.5 weight percent, and said stabilizing additive in an amount between about 0.5 and about 25 weight percent, wherein said stabilizing additive is FAME. 18.
