FUEL-UP project will be presented at the 34th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition in The Hague, The Netherlands, with the oral presentation “Process Design for the Recovery of Valuable Organic Compounds from Pyrolysis Oil Aqueous Phase“.
Valorising by-products is crucial to increase the economic and environmental sustainability of pyrolysis oil production and upgrading. The presentation, delivered by Matteo Gilardi, Research Scientist at SINTEF Industry, will deal with process design, modelling, and optimisation for organics recovery via distillation from aqueous phase produced in the pyrolysis oil stabilisation process. The separation consists of four distillation columns in series and allows reaching high recovery rates of both methanol and ethanol. The process is modelled using a re-parametrised Vapour-Liquid equilibrium model, which significantly improves the accuracy of current models available in COCO-COFE and Aspen Plus process simulators.
