Co-processing of Biocrudes in Oil Refineries | Energy & Fuels
Bio-oil is a complex blend of oxygenated compds., such as acetic acid, hydroxyacetone and phenols, and is produced from the fast pyrolysis of raw biomass. A raw bio-oil produced from pine woodchips was co-processed with std. gasoil and tested in a 150 kg/h fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) demonstration-scale unit.

Catalysts for Co-processing Biomass in Oil Refining Industry
In 2012, Agblevor et al. used a product of the catalytic pyrolysis of biomass, denominated in this study as bio-crude, as a renewable feed for FCC co-processing. 31 This bio-crude is more stable than bio-oil due to the more efficient removal of reactive functional groups by deoxygenation reactions promoted during pyrolysis in the presence of a

Biomass to biofuels using hydrothermal liquefaction: A comprehensive
Microalgae are a more valuable source of biomass than terrestrial biomass with respect to the quality (i.e., lower water content and higher calorific value) of the biocrude oil produced [33]. However, the biocrude oil derived from terrestrial biomass has a lower viscosity, acidity, and oxygen and nitrogen contents [ 116 , 119 ].

Biofuel production using petroleum refining technologies
This project aims to explore the production of low-carbon fuels by co-processing in existing petroleum refineries the bio-intermediates produced from the liquefaction of biomass. This would enable a seamless and lower-cost introduction of these oleochemical/biocrude intermediates in transport fuel markets by using existing refinery

Life-Cycle Assessment of Pyrolysis Bio-Oil Production
Goal, scope, and system boundaries. The scope of this report encompasses three life-cycle stages: (1) collection of forest biomass from the southeastern United States, (2) bio-oil production from fast pyrolysis, and (3) combustion of bio-oil in industrial boilers. The system boundaries are commonly referred to as a cradle-to-grave analysis.

REFINERY FEEDSTOCKS - Renewable Fuels and Chemicals from Non-Food Biomass.
In Refinery Co-processing, Ensyn's biocrude is used as a feedstock for the Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC) unit in refineries. FCC units are found in most refineries worldwide and are used to produce gasoline and diesel from petroleum feedstocks, including vacuum gas oil (VGO). When Ensyn's biocrude is processed alongside traditional FCC fossil

Co-processing of Biocrudes in Oil Refineries | Energy & Fuels - ACS Publications
The fuel production from biocrudes could be carried out competitively by co-processing them in an oil refinery. Both cracking and the ability to remove oxygen from the biocrude are needed, and therefore, co-processing could potentially take place in the fluid catalytic cracker, hydrotreater, or hydrocracker.

Bio-oil Co-Processing with Refinery Streams - National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
Project Overview. Objective: Accelerate adoption of co-processing biomass-derived feedstocks with petroleum streams in operating petroleum refineries to produce biogenic-carbon-containing fuels. Risks: Bio-oils are difficult to co-process due to their molecular structure and non-hydrocarbon constituents.

As already stated, the refining of the future will deal with the presence of biomass as an alternative feedstock to the traditional oil feedstock. Therefore, it will comprise the concept of Biorefineries, which, according to the 2008 Farm Act, 1¨C5 may be defined as ¡°a facility (including equipment and processes) that converts renewable biomass into biofuels and bio-based products, and may

FP oil typically is an emulsion with 15¨C30 wt% water (Czernik and Bridgwater 2004 ), while CFP oil typically has a separate aqueous layer, which is 20¨C25 wt% of the biomass, and the organic liquid yield is low (9¨C32 wt%; water-free basis). Lower organic yield in CFP is concomitant with higher gas and solid (i.e., coke) formation.

Catalytic interventions in bio-oil production from lignocellulosic biomass and Co-processing with petroleum refinery fractions: A review
The direct processing of bio-oils in the current refinery is also difficult because they have different physico-chemical characteristics from crude oils. To ensure that there won't be any technical difficulties, the alternative solution is to process the bio-oil and refinery streams in an existing refinery unit to the greatest extent possible.
