A process and system for hydroprocessing biopyrolysis oils is provided and includes the rejuvenation of an at least partially flow constricted biopyrolysis oil hydroprocessing reactor(s) by flushing with a flushing agent at reduced temperatures.

Rejuvenation of biopyrolysis oil hydroprocessing reactors

A filter media for the removal of undesirable solid components from a fuel feedstock contains biomass and a catalyst used from the thermocatalytic conversion of biomass into bio-oil.

Method of removing undesirable solid components from a renewable or non-renewable feed and apparatus used in same

A process and system for separating a light fraction, a bio-distillate fraction, and a heavy fraction from a bio-oil, and for producing a renewable distillate including at least in part the bio-distillate fraction and a stabilizing additive, is provided. In addition, a process and system is provided for upgrading a bio-oil by use of a diluent and/or a recycle stream from the upgrading process to reduce fouling in upgrading equipment, such as a preheater and a hydrodeoxygenation unit.

Production of renewable bio-distillate

More stable and valuable bio-oil produced from biomasses are provided. More specifically, more stable and valuable bio-oil useful as heating oil, alone or in combination with an oxygenated acyclic component, is provided. Particularly, various embodiments of the present invention provide for a bio-oil having sufficient heating value and stability to be useful as heating oil, alone or in combination with an oxygenated acyclic component, without the need to hydrotreat the bio-oil or use a similar deoxygenating process.

Renewable heating fuel oil

A process and system for separating a light fraction, a bio-distillate fraction, and a heavy fraction from a bio-oil, and for producing a renewable distillate including at least in part the bio-distillate fraction and a stabilizing additive, is provided. The process comprises separating bio-oil into light, bio-distillate, and heavy fractions based on their boiling points. At least a portion of the bio-distillate fraction and a stabilizing additive are blended with a petroleum-derived-diesel-range stream, without any prior hydrotreatment, to thereby provide a renewable distillate composition.
