Abstract
Abstract A process superstructure is introduced to convert biomass to liquid transportation fuels based on the thermochemical route. Three Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) technologies (i.e. conventional FTS, supercritical FTS, and once-through FTS) are used in the biomass conversion process. Process simulation and economic analysis are performed to compare these three biomass conversion processes. The simulation results show that supercritical FTS biomass conversion produces the most kerosene and diesel, while conventional FTS biomass conversion generates the most gasoline product. Economic analysis shows that supercritical FTS biomass conversion requires the highest project investment, but also has the highest product sales.
