Description

Distillation models using the components of bio-crudes produced from hydrothermal liquefaction of sugarcane bagasse and microalgae have been constructed with ASPEN Plus. The models illustrate the effect of varying reflux ratio, number of stages, and operating pressure on separation of the bio-crudes into light and heavy fractions. This work provides a starting point to commercialise use of liquefied biomass for fuels by demonstrating the ability to co-process bio-crude in existing oil refineries. This approach also initiates a more detailed analysis of the distillation process that leads to implementation on a larger scale.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
