  4. HISTORY OF HTU 1982 - 1988 Process R&D, Shell Laboratory, Amsterdam 1994 - 1997 Technical-Economic evaluation of HTU technology Nov 1997 - July 2000: PROCESS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT EET-1

  5. WHAT IS HTU ? o Conditions: 300 - 350 C; 120 - 180 bar reaction time 5 - 20 minutes liquid water present Feedstocks: All types of biomass, domestic, agricultural and industrial residues, wood Also wet feedstocks, no drying required Chemistry: Oxygen removed as Carbon Dioxide Products 45 Biocrude(%w on feedstock, dry basis) 25 Gas (> 90% CO2) 20 H2O 10 dissolved organics (e.g., acetic acid, methanol) Thermal efficiency: 70 - 90 %

  6. HTU Product Biocrude Heavy organic liquid Not miscible with water Oxygen content 10 - 18 %w LHV 30 -35 MJ/kg Applications Biocrude as such: (co)combustion in coal- and oil- fired power stations After upgrading (hydrogenation): premium diesel fuel; kerosene luboil base stock chemicals feedstock (cracker)

  7. HTU PRODUCT FLEXIBILITY • Direct combustion as a liquid • (replacement of fossil fuels) • Combustion as a solid fuel • (cofiring with coal) • Emulsified fuel (type “Orimulsion”) • Replacement of charcoal • Upgraded product

  10. THERMAL EFFICIENCY Definition: th = (LHV of biocrude output) * 100 % (LHV of feed) + (LHV from external fuel) For present process design: th = 55.62 * 100% = 74.9 % 72.98 + 1.3 (Theoretical maximum for this case is 78.6 %)

  11. Upgrading of biocrude by HDO • Principle of catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation has been • demonstrated • Upgrading cost compensated by higher product value • Diesel fraction has excellent ignition properties • Potential applications: • Transport fuel • Kerosine • Fuel in high-efficient gas turbine • Feedstock for chemicals (via ethylene cracker) • Etc. etc.
