Two-Stage Reactor And Process For Conversion Of Solid Biomass Material

US Patent:
2013023, Sep 12, 2013
Filed:
Jan 4, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/734627
Inventors:
Brian Bibens - Houston TX, US
Ronald Cordle - League City TX, US
Bruce Adkins - League City TX, US
John Hacskaylo - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
KiOR Inc. - Pasadena TX
International Classification:
C10G 1/00
US Classification:
44307, 422164
Abstract:
A two-stage reactor/process is disclosed for the conversion of solid particulate biomass material and includes: a first stage, in which solid particulate biomass material is pyrolyzed to primary reaction products, and a second stage in which the primary reaction products are catalytically converted in a second stage which is operated at a temperature higher than that of the first stage.

Production Of Higher Quality Bio-Oils By In-Line Esterification Of Pyrolysis Vapor

US Patent:
2011029, Dec 8, 2011
Filed:
Feb 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/139383
Inventors:
Roger Norris Hilten - Winterville GA, US
Keshav Das - Athens GA, US
James R. Kastner - Athens GA, US
Brian P. Bibens - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
C10L 1/19, B01J 19/00, C10L 1/222
US Classification:
44388, 44418, 422187
Abstract:
The disclosure encompasses in-line reactive condensation processes via vapor phase esterification of bio-oil to decease reactive species concentration and water content in the oily phase of a two-phase oil, thereby increasing storage stability and heating value. Esterification of the bio-oil vapor occurs via the vapor phase contact and subsequent reaction of organic acids with ethanol during condensation results in the production of water and esters. The pyrolysis oil product can have an increased ester content and an increased stability when compared to a condensed pyrolysis oil product not treated with an atomized alcohol.
