Abstract:
Co-processing (bio-oil or bio-crude co-processed with fossil crude oil) is highlighted as being key to the expansion of drop-in and advanced, 2nd generation biofuel production. Use of existing refinery infrastructure for co-processing of bio-based intermediates will greatly facilitate the future development and expansion of low carbon drop-in biofuels. With the patented innovation and the corresponding GreenAlyze software built upon make it possible to establish, in near real time, the material balance (overall and for each element C, H, O, S, N) of bio-refineries and petrochemical plants with the increasing integration of bio-sourced raw materials. The resulting product quality assessment, as well as the integrated enthalpy and energy balances allow to calculate, then manage and optimize the economic and environmental impact of these bio-refineries (fossil and bio-sourced carbon assessments, CO2 emissions and contaminants: SO2, NOx effluents, etc.).
