Conversion of cellulosic wastes to liquid fuels
The history, current status and future plans for a project to convert waste cellulosic (biomass) materials to quaty liquid hydrocarbon fuels is described. The process utilizes an indirect liquefaction approach (gasification followed by liquefaction) to produce a quality liquid hydrocarbon product similar to diesel fuel. A variety of feedstocks can be processed with product quality essentially independent of feedstock type. Previous contract periods have concentrated on assessment of alternative feedstocks in the gasification step and detailed factor studies for the gasification and liquefaction stages operated separately. The current contract period (June 1, 1980 to May 31, 1981) had the prime objective of operating the entire system in an integrated, continuous mode and directly measuring and assessing product yields. Secondary objectives were additional factor studies (gasification fluidizing gas type, solid type, operating conditions.
