Gasoline and diesel production from pyrolytic lignin produced from pyrolysis of cellulosic waste

A process for producing hydrocarbon products comprising:

• adding water to a mixture of pyrolysis oil and lignin;
• separating pyrolysis oil and lignin from the mixture comprising pyrolysis oil and lignin thereby generating a water rich phase stream and a pyrolytic lignin stream;
• passing the pyrolytic lignin stream to a hydrotreating unit thereby generating a deoxygenated light oil stream, wherein the hydrotreating unit is operated at a pressure in the range from about 5.5 MPa (800 psia) to about 8.3 MPa (1200 psia);
• passing the deoxygenated light oil stream to a separation unit thereby generating an aqueous stream and an organic stream;
• passing the organic stream to a hydrocracking unit and reacting the organic stream under mild hydrocracking conditions, thereby generating a product stream comprising hydrocarbon compounds useful for gasoline production or diesel fuel;
• and
• passing the water rich phase stream to a reforming unit, thereby generating a hydrogen stream.
