Rates of Reaction and Process Design Data for the Hydrocarb Process

Abstract

In support of studies for developing the coprocessing of fossil fuels with biomass by the Hydrocarb Process, experimental and process design data are reported. The experimental work includes the hbydropryolysis of biomass and the thermal decomposition of methane in a tubular reactor. The rates of reaction and conversion were obtained at temperature and pressure conditions pertaining to a Hydrocarb process design. A Process Simulation Computer Model was used to design the process and obtain complete energy and mass balances. Multiple feedstocks includes biomass with natural gas and biomass with coal were evaluated. Additional feedstocks including sewage sludge and digester gas were also evaluated for a pilot plant unit.
