Honeywell UOP, in a glance

What We can do with “Surplus Biomass” Challenge

UOP 7299-3

Key Supply Chain Steps1) Use locally available biomass from the agricultural farms

2) Convert it to Bio-Crude/ RFO at nearby RTP™ unit

3) Store/Transport Bio-Crude/ RFO to Refiner who has an FCC unit

4) Refiner injects Bio-Crude/ RFO into FCC to make Fully Fungible transport fuels

What is “Bio-Crude”

Liquid Biomass produced in 2 seconds from Bulky Biomass

• Is “Liquid Biomass” made from non-food, woody waste biomass through Rapid

Thermal Processing® conversion

• Complex mixture of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen containing compounds

(aldehydes, phenolics, acids, alcohols, etc.)

• Elemental Composition– 42wt% C, 8 wt% H, 50 wt% O

– < 100 ppm S– 25wt% +/- 5% soluble water

– Density: 1.2 g/mL

– pH<3 (organic acids)

• Viscosity– Quite fluid at 70ºF– Highly viscous below 50ºF

FCC Co-Processing….Knowing the Unknowns

Because we know Refiner’s challenges, and we know FCC’s

• Oxygenates

– Acid conversion virtually complete in FCC riser

– Oxygenates in FCC naphtha same as those already seen in petroleum-only FCC operation

– LCO and heavier cuts no perceptible change in oxygenates

• Alkali metal effects

– Studied deactivation at lab scale

– Economic alkali metal management techniques developed

• Chlorides

– Chlorides are possible source of concern in all FCC units

– Review of operations and equipment before co-processing allows trouble-free operation

• Unsaturated hydrocarbons

– Method of operation avoids fouling issues commonly associated with pyrolysis oil at high temperature

– Trial showed trouble-free injection

Addressing the Concerns…

When India will need its own “Bio-Reserve” of Bio-Crude

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी: हमारा मकसद 'खाडी का तेल और झाडी (जैव ईधंन) का तेल ममलाना है

https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/modi-calls-for-slashing-oil-gas-imports-by-10-in-next-7-years/article7039287.ece

“We currently import around 77 per cent in energy sector,

in oil, gas and petroleum sector. We can reduce this

import by at least 10 per cent by 2022. This 10 per cent

we will produce ourselves and this should be our dream,”

he said.

India will be celebrating its 75th year of independence in

2022 and lowering imports will be a tribute to those who

sacrificed their lives for our freedom, Modi said.

• Vulnerability to Climate Change is a key concern for India

• Goal: Reduce emissions intensity of GDP by ~33-35% (2030 vs 2005)

• Avoided emissions ~ 3.59B tons CO2e over BAU

• Thrusts on renewable energy, green transport

• Urban Air Quality concerns

• Linkages to “स्वच्छ भारत, हररत भारत” Mission and “Make in India” synergies
