  • Feedstock conversion to fuel on high pressure circulating fluidized bed
    Patent number: 10266774
    Abstract: There is provided a process and systems for producing fuels via pyrolysis of carbonaceous feedstock under pressure and temperature in an efficient manner using a circulating fluidized bed with catalyst(s). The pressure and temperature are selected to provoke supercritical conditions, and pyrolysis, hydropyrolysis, hydrotreating, and optionally reforming treatment of the carbonaceous feedstock is carried out simultaneously in one reactor on a recirculating fluidized bed containing catalysts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2019
    Assignee: SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE
    Inventors: Eloy Flores, III, Monica R. Medrano, Hsiang Y. Lai, Michael P. Hartmann
