Abstract:

Scandinavian paper mill industry leaves great amounts of forest residues in the countryside that could be used to produce a renewable and CO2 emission free liquid fuel, bio-oil, through fast pyrolysis. Scandinavian forest residues are a challenging mixture of spruce wood, bark and needles so it is essential to understand how the feedstock composition influences on fuel oil quality characteristics. Pyrolysis liquids have been produced from forest residue mixtures in a continuous fast pyrolysis fluid bed rig and effects of feedstock composition on selected liquid quality characteristics like homogeneity, solids content, molecular weight distribution and storage stability. These product characteristics are of high importance for crude pyrolysis liquids in heat and power applications and are believed to be particular challenging to satisfy when forest residues are introduced in the feedstock.
