Producing the Next Generation of Green Hydrocarbons
Many companies are searching for a renewable source of energy that will alleviate our dependence on fossil fuels. Ideally, this renewable source would ensure compatibility with existing oil refineries and delivery infrastructure, and would be derived from non-food biomass, such as forest residuals and post consumer materials. All of these features constitute not only a renewable source of energy, but a new generation of biofuels-one that provides a carbon dioxide-neutral, renewable gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
A Canadian company that operates commercial fast pyrolysis plants for the production of bio-oil from wood biomass, believes it has discovered this source.
Developing a Bio-Oil System
During the production of bio-oil, solid biomass wood is blasted into a tornado of hot sand at the bottom of a conversion unit. In less than two seconds the wood is vaporized. It is then condensed and recovered as a liquid bio-oil.
Seventy-five percent of the solid wood biomass injected into the RTP system is transformed into high yields of espresso-like bio-oil. The liquid wood is not a tar. It is a pourable fluid, which Ensyn treats as its own version of crude oil, and is used as a resource to make other products, such as high value biochemicals, in the same way petroleum crude is used in a variety of applications.
The remaining 25 percent of the biomass is converted into non-condensable gas and charcoal. These byproducts are fed back into a reheater in order to keep the tornado of sand at the required processing temperature.
