  • Publication number: 20140275666
    Abstract: A process for treating bio-oil or pyrolysis oil used to produce renewable biofuel. In a first stage, solids and/or organic reactive molecules within the feedstream are reduced without substantially deoxygenating the organic reactive molecules in the feedstream. The resulting feedstream is then introduced into a second hydrotreatment stage to produce deoxygenated bio-oil or pyrolysis oil.
