Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a method, comprising routing a bio-oil to a mixing device; routing a wash material to the mixing device; using the mixing device to form a mixture from the bio-oil and the wash material; routing the mixture to an electrostatic separator; and applying an electric field to the mixture, in the electrostatic separator, to separate the wash material from the bio-oil.
Claims7
A method, comprising:
- routing a bio-oil to a first mixing device;
- routing a first wash material to the first mixing device, the first wash material comprising an acid material;
- using the first mixing device to form a first mixture from the bio-oil and the first wash material, wherein the first mixture comprises an acidic aqueous phase including the first wash material and oil phase including the bio-oil;
- routing the first mixture to a first electrostatic separator;
- applying an electric field to the first mixture, in the first electrostatic separator, to separate the first wash material from the bio-oil;
- routing the bio-oil from the first electrostatic separator to a second mixing device;
- routing a second wash material to the second mixing device, the second wash material comprising a base material;
- using the second mixing device to form a second mixture from the bio-oil and the second wash material;
- routing the second mixture to a second electrostatic separator;
- and
- applying an electric field to the second mixture, in the second electrostatic separator, to separate the second wash material from the bio-oil.
