Review of co-processing of biocrudes in oil refineries

Green Car Congress

Liquid intermediates from pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) can be co-processed in an oil refinery along with conventional crude oil. After pyrolysis, the vapors are condensed to give a dark brown fast pyrolysis bio-oil (FPBO). In fast pyrolysis, biomass is quickly heated to around 500 °C in the absence of oxygen.

Researchers use distillation to improve biocrude oil properties for fuel blending

Green Car Congress

Biocrude oil produced via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass could provide a low-carbon supplement for transportation fuel supply. However, physical processes—such as fractional distillation as used in oil refineries—are cheaper and more reliable. 1) values of gasoline, diesel, and Jet A fuels, respectively.
