Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper presents a novel intensified process design, reactive distillation, for production of bio-based jet fuel. The paper is of sound scientific merit and can be published after a few minor comments are addressed.

1- The introduction needs to be improved. The authors should provide some more information on the alternative technologies for producing jet fuel. I suggest that they add a table, list the technologies, if it is produced through an intensified scheme and what would that be, pros and cons and some highlights on the economics of these technologies and if they are implemented on an industrial scale.

2- In section 3.2, authors are providing little information on how the reactive distillation column is designed. Is it an optimal configuration? More discussion, economic analysis and sustainability analysis need to be added to discussion section and authors need to provide at least approaches on how this process can be optimally designed? Also, controllability of this column maybe an issue. Therefore, authors needs to discuss the interactions of design and control in their column as well.
