Basics

  • A biorefinery specifically desinged to process Biocrude
  • Very similar to a petroleum refinery

Used For

  • Production of Bio-Fuels
  • Production of Bio-Petrochemicals
  • Production of other Biocrude Derivateves

Industry Standards

Existing Open Source Designs

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

Catalyst Removal Unit

  • This scrubs and recovers any HTL catalysts

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

Delayed Cokeing Unit

BOM
