Techno-Economic Uncertainty Analysis of Wet Waste-to-Biocrude via Hydrothermal Liquefaction

Journal Article Li, Shuyun ; Jiang, Yuan ; Snowden-Swan, Lesley J. ; ... - Applied Energy

Wet waste hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has the potential to make economically competitive biocrude due to low cost and widely available feedstock, process flexibility, and high product selectivity and quality. However, most of the current understanding of HTL technology is based on batch testing of algal and woody biomass, with few studies available on continuous processing of wet waste. These knowledge gaps, along with lack of commercial demonstration, can lead to significant uncertainties, potential bias in process design, and limited accuracy of economic projections. In this work, stochastic techno-economic analysis (TEA) was conducted to evaluate the economic feasibility and risks ofmore »« less

Techno-Economic Uncertainty Quantification of Algal-derived Biocrude via Hydrothermal Liquefaction

Journal Article Jiang, Yuan ; Jones, Susanne B. ; Zhu, Yunhua ; ... - Algal Research

Using microalgae for fuel production via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has received increasing attention in recent years because of its high biocrude productivity and quality, cultivation flexibility, and potential for large scale operation. Most of the current knowledge on algae HTL is based on laboratory benchtop findings and/or simulation models, while yield correlations or simplified kinetics models were usually developed based on small batch equipment. In this work, the lack of commercial experience and knowledge gaps of algae HTL process are addressed through techno-economic uncertainty quantification. Particularly, a “component additivity” model is developed to predict the yields and qualities of biocrudemore »« less

Uncertainty analysis for techno-economic and life-cycle assessment of wet waste hydrothermal liquefaction with centralized upgrading to produce fuel blendstocks

Journal Article Jiang, Yuan ; Mevawala, Chirag R. ; Li, Shuyun ; ... - Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (Online)

Wet waste hydrothermal liquefaction is a promising technology for producing transportation fuels with much lower greenhouse gases emissions than petroleum-based fuels. However, its techno-economic and life cycle assessment are primarily based on laboratory scale testing data, subject to considerable uncertainties, and even bias, due to knowledge gaps. Here, a preliminary uncertainty analysis of key economic measures was conducted based on the 2019 state-of-technology model for biocrude production. Building on the preliminary analysis, this work presents a comprehensive uncertainty analysis in both economic and environmental measures of the entire supply chain of wet waste hydrothermal liquefaction to fuel blendstocks including biocrude upgrading based on the 2021 state-of-technology model. The analysis includes the most recent developments in hydrothermal liquefaction and biocrude upgrading technologies and Monte Carlo simulation based on an integrated model system including an improved reactor yield model, reduced-order process model, discounted cash flow economic model and simplified life-cycle assessment model. The estimated biocrude yield ranges from 42.2% to 52.4% with a median of 47.3%. The estimated fuel yield ranges from 34.7% to 42.7% with a median of 38.7%. The estimated minimum fuel selling price ranges frommore »« less

Techno-Economic Analysis of Alternative Aqueous Phase Treatment Methods for Microalgae Hydrothermal Liquefaction and Biocrude Upgrading System

Journal Article Zhu, Yunhua ; Jones, Susanne B. ; Schmidt, Andrew J. ; ... - Algal Research

An economic analysis was conducted for an algae hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and biocrude upgrading system with alternative aqueous phase treatment methods. Using experimental data, three different methods were modeled and compared: 1) direct recycle HTL aqueous phase to the algae farm, 2) catalytic hydrothermal gasification (CHG), and 3) anaerobic digestion (AD). Direct recycle consumes the most natural gas because unlike AD and CHG, no methane is generated from the aqueous phase organics. However, direct recycle has the lowest cost compared to other two cases because it only requires the addition of pumps and buffer tankage related to aqueous phase recycle.more »« less
