This study evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of three product portfolios from a biomass fast pyrolysis biorefinery: biofuel, biochemicals, and hydrocarbon chemicals. The biorefinery design is based on five-stage fractionation system developed by Iowa State University. It can produce drop-in transportation fuels (biofuel scenario); infrastructure materials such as bioasphalt bio-cement, dextrose (biochemicals aromatics olefins (hydrocarbon chemicals scenario). Bio-oil fractionated...
Abstract This paper describes a novel integrated biorefinery based on fast pyrolysis and subsequent bio‐oil upgrading to produce three product portfolios: hydrocarbon biofuels (gasoline diesel), bio‐based products (bioasphalt, calcium acetate, dextrose), chemicals (aromatics, olefins, fuel oil). Based the economic assumptions historical market prices of products, we calculate internal rates return ( IRRs ) (2000 dry metric tons per day) over 30 years evaluate its performance. Given low,...
Pure low density polyethylene pyrolysis was investigated using a lab-scale two-stage fixed-bed pyrolyzer with different catalytic materials in the second reactor for upgrading vapors. The yields of gas and char were determined, condensed product thoroughly examined by chromatography–mass spectrometry thermogravimetric analysis. use such as HZSM-5, cement raw meal, calcined silicon carbide investigated. A wax-rich (intermediate molecular weight hydrocarbons) observed following types...
