  • Method for processing biomass by co-grinding with a second biomass feedstock
    Patent number: 11473025
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for the treatment of a feed comprising biomass, said process comprising at least the following steps: a) a step for drying said feed at a temperature in the range 20° C. to 180° C. for a period in the range 5 to 180 minutes, b) a step for torrefaction of the dried feed obtained from step a) in order to produce at least one solid torrefied biomass effluent, and c) a step for co-grinding the solid torrefied biomass effluent obtained from step b) in the presence of a second biomass feed in order to obtain a powder.

  • Process for the conversion of a feed containing biomass for the production of hydrocarbons, by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
    Patent number: 9422492
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an integrated process for the production of liquid hydrocarbons starting from a feed containing at least one fraction of biomass and optionally at least one fraction of another feed, said process comprising at least one pre-treatment step, a gasification step, a step for conditioning synthesis gas, a water scrubbing step, a step for eliminating acid gases, a final purification step, and a catalytic Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction step.

  • Process for hydrotreating a diesel fuel feedstock, hydrotreating unit for the implementation of the said process, and corresponding hydrorefining unit
    Patent number: 9062258
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the catalytic hydrotreating of a feedstock of petroleum origin of diesel fuel type and of a feedstock of biological origin based on vegetable oils and/or animal fats in a stationary bed catalytic hydrotreating unit, the said process being characterized in that the feedstock of petroleum origin is introduced into the said reactor upstream of the feedstock of biological origin. It also relates to a catalytic hydrotreating unit for the implementation of the said process and to a corresponding hydrorefining unit.
