Biocrude suitability for petroleum refineries

, 1988
Technologies are now being developed that could produce crude oil from biomass, making available an alternative fuel source as petroleum supplies dwindle and prices rise. If the existing infrastructure for transporting and refining petroleum could be used for biocrude, the transition from petroleum would be smoother and less costly.

Full characterization of compounds obtained from fractional distillation and upgrading of a HTL biocrude [PDF]

, 2017
Biocrude from hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass provides a sustainable source from which to produce chemicals and fuels. However, just as for fossil crude, the chemical complexity of the biocrude impedes the characterization and hence identification ...

Integrated co-HTL and two-stage extraction of fecal sludge and rice husk toward high-yield middle-to-heavy distillate-rich biocrude

Fuel Processing Technology
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising technology for converting wet waste into biocrude; however, fecal sludge (FS)-derived biocrude is typically dominated by light fuel fractions, limiting its suitability for middle-distillate and heavy-fuel ...

Biocrude production by hydrothermal liquefaction of olive residue [PDF]

International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning, 2016
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) converts biomass into a crude bio-oil by thermally and hydrolytically decomposing the biomacromolecules into smaller compounds. The crude bio-oil, or biocrude, is an energy dense product that can potentially be used as a substitute for petroleum crudes.
