CatLiq converts biomass and organic wastes in water at near or supercritical conditions (280-350 °C and 180-250 bar). The high reactivity of water results in high conversion rates of organic matter and a high throughput. Test results showed CatLiq converted 70-90% of the energy in the feedstream into energy in the bio-oil product.
