BATTELLE (PACIFIC NW LAB)

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) offers an attractive route to produce fuel blendstocks from wet wastes. Scaleable hydrotreating data for the conversion of HTL biocrude to fuels is critical to the commercialization of HTL. Herein, we demonstrate pore diffusion limitations for the hydrotreating of HTL biocrudes. We demonstrate scale-able hydrotreating of HTL biocrude to produce a high cetane diesel fuel and demonstrate the hydrotreating limitations.
