Challenges in the design and operation of processes for catalytic fast pyrolysis of woody biomass.

With respect to the application of upgraded oils derived from biomass materials, the goal is to produce either high yields of transportation fuel compounds (e.g. aromatics, olefins) and specialty chemicals (e.g. phenolics), or just a drop-in refinery feedstock to be blended with the feed streams of existing petroleum refineries. It has already been recognized in the early days of fast pyrolysis RD in- or ex situ) and design elements (e.g. reactor type, catalyst type) on one hand, and definitions and outcomes of possible obstacles (e.g. successive regeneration of the catalyst, effect of biomass ash) on the other. In this paper, the efficient and economical use of the primary and secondary products, and the heat integration of the process is discussed. Moreover, some process alternatives for an efficient CFP operation are suggested.
