Abstract
Pyrolysis fuels and methods for processing pyrolysis fuel are provided. In one embodiment, a method of processing pyrolysis fuel converts biomass to pyrolysis fuel including pyrolysis oil and char particles. Also, the method includes resizing a portion of the char particles so that substantially all resized char particles have a largest dimension no greater than about 5 microns.
Claims20
A method for processing pyrolysis fuel comprising:
- converting biomass to pyrolysis fuel including pyrolysis oil and char particles;
- and
- resizing a portion of the char particles, wherein substantially all resized char particles have a largest dimension no greater than about 5 microns.
A method for processing pyrolysis fuel including pyrolysis oil and char particles comprising:
- resizing the char particles from the pyrolysis fuel;
- and
- combusting the pyrolysis fuel, including the pyrolysis oil and resized char particles.
Pyrolysis fuel for combustion in a diesel engine comprising:
- pyrolysis oil formed from rapid pyrolysis of biomass;
- and
- resized char particles formed from rapid pyrolysis of biomass, wherein the resized char particles have a largest dimension no greater than about 5 microns.
