1. Bio-oil production in superheated water

2. Outline Why biomass? From biomass to bio-oil Bio-oil characteristics
Outlook

3. Biomass Abundantly available Less regional dependence
Convert waste to energy
Conversion to liquid and gaseous fuels
Low energy density
High water content
Complex composition
Impurities

4. Hydrothermal Liquefaction
Converts wet biomass to bio-oil.
Operation conditions
Temperature: °C
Pressure: bar
Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass

5. From biomass to bio-oil
K2CO3
Water
HTL Process
Inlet
DDGS ?
Bio-oil recovering
Bio-oil recovering and refinement
HTL Process Outlet

6. Bio-oil characteristics
Yields
Char and ash content
Viscosity
Compostion
Elemental analysis (CHNOS)
Chemical compounds

7. Outlook Upgrading bio-oil Construct a new HTL reactor
Parameter studies

8. Thank you for your attention!
