IMPROVING THE BIO-CRUDE YIELDS, PROPERTIES AND PROCESSABILITY OF HYDROTHERMAL LIQUEFACTION FEEDSTOCKS USING YELLOW GREASE

摘要

An example system for co-liquefying feedstock and yellow grease includes: a feedstock container to contain a feedstock; a yellow grease container to contain a yellow grease; a hydrothermal liquefaction system configured to receive feedstock from the feedstock container and to receive yellow grease from the yellow grease container; the feedstock received by the hydrothermal liquefaction system and the yellow grease received by the hydrothermal liquefaction system to become a mixture; a controller connected to the feedstock container and the yellow grease container, the controller configured to control the amount of the feedstock supplied from the feedstock container to the hydrothermal liquefaction system, the controller further configured to control the amount of the yellow grease supplied from the yellow grease container to the hydrothermal liquefaction system to be between 10% to 50% of the mixture; and a collector configured to receive a bio-crude from the hydrothermal liquefaction system.
