Biomass slurry preparation for subterranean injection

Abstract

A system for preparing a biomass slurry for subterranean injection can include a mixing apparatus having a vessel and a first input to the vessel, where the first input is configured to receive a plurality of pieces of a biomass slurry feedstock, where each of the plurality of pieces has a size not to exceed approximately 60,000 μm. The mixing apparatus may also include a second input to the vessel, where the second input is configured to receive a fluid to the vessel, and wherein the fluid comprises a salt content of at least approximately 0.05%. The mixing apparatus may further include a mixer configured to combine the plurality of pieces of the biomass slurry feedstock and the fluid within the vessel to form the biomass slurry, and an output to the vessel that is configured to deliver the biomass slurry to a conveyance system for the subterranean injection.
