Outline Why biomass? From biomass to bio-oil Bio-oil characteristics Outlook
Biomass • Abundantly available • Less regional dependence • Convert waste to energy • Conversion to liquid and gaseous fuels • Low energy density • High water content • Complex composition • Impurities
Hydrothermal Liquefaction • Converts wet biomass to bio-oil. • Operation conditions • Temperature: 250-400 °C • Pressure: 100-300 bar • Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass
From biomass to bio-oil Biomass K2CO3 Water Bio-oil recovering and refinement HTL Process Inlet HTL Process Outlet Bio-oil recovering ? DDGS
Bio-oil characteristics • Yields • Char and ash content • Viscosity • Compostion • Elemental analysis (CHNOS) • Chemical compounds
Outlook Upgrading bio-oil Construct a new HTL reactor Parameter studies
