Basics
- A biorefinery specifically desinged to process Biocrude
- Very similar to a petroleum refinery
- Also should be able to accept Pyrolysis Oil and Plant Oil ?
- Seems most existing refineries are very focused on producing Gasoline (~45% of each barrels is made into this product?)
- Thus a post gasoline engine world's refinery would be very different.
- Need to finish out List of OSE Used (Bio) Petrochemical Products (also make distinction / page for the [[Post all the things world )
Used For
- Production of Bio-Fuels
- Production of Bio-Petrochemicals
- Production of other Biocrude Derivateves
Industry Standards
Existing Open Source Designs
- This Video on very small scale lab batch distillation
- Various Lab setups for distillation (even if not specifically for petroleum
- Setups for Alchohol Distillation being adapted
Minimum Viable Product
Lab Scale
- ~1L Capacity of Biocrude in
- Can fit on a lab station
Microfactory/Pilot Plant Scale
- Can fit on Pallets, Skids, or IMCs
Full Scale
Basic Design
Biocrude Tank
- This takes biocrude either from an onsite producer, or from ofsite transport
HTL Catalyst Removal Unit?
- This scrubs and recovers any HTL catalysts
- Grab info on what catalysts are used in HTL + how one would go about this
Biocrude Sweetening
- Supposedly Biocrude can cause Catalyst Poisoning
- Mainly due to salt and metal content
- So a "Desalter" and a Hydro-demetalization stage?
Heater
- Used only in continous distillers (NOT batch style ones)
- Preheats the oil to 400° for the (Bio)-Crude-Oil Distillation Unit (or the "(B)CDU")
(B)CDU
- Stands for (Bio)-Crude-Oil Distillation Unit
- Has two variants:
Batch
- Used for small scale due to is's simplicity
- Is essentially what this video lays out
Continous
VDU
- Stands for Vacuum Distillation Unit
- Distills the heaviest fractions without thermally cracking them via lowering the temp needed
Other Units
- These can change various fractions into others and/or refine them further:
Catalytic Reforming Unit
Alkylation Unit
Isomerization Unit
Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit
Hydrocracking Unit
Visbreaker Unit
- Seems to be a modification of the pre-CDU heater, to cause Thermal Cracking
Coker Unit
BOM
Lab Scale
- Algae Source
- Way to Partially Dry Algae
- Catalysts
- 1x HTL Pressure Vessel
- 1x HTL Heat Source
- 1x 1 (or 2) L Distillation Apperatus (with percise heat source to use the video's method of extraction, also the collection resevoir should be easily swappable and / or washable
