Abstract

Integrating a biomass pyrolysis and upgrading process into a fluid catalytic cracking unit. The process uses conventional FCC feed and a mixture of a solvent and biomass to produce upgraded fuel products. A slurry stream composed of solid biomass particles and a solvent is fed into an FCC riser through a slurry pump to achieve biomass pyrolysis and in situ pyrolysis oil upgrading. The catalytic cracking of the conventional petroleum feed also occurs in the riser.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) of biomass comprising:
a) a first mixed feed stream comprising:
i) a solvent stream, and
ii) a biomass feed stream comprising biomass feedstock,

b) a slurry pump, mixer, or combination of a mixer and slurry pump operable to mix, transport or mix and transport the mixed feed stream (a) to a riser;
c) a second feed stream comprising conventional FCC feedstock;
d) a riser comprising:
a regenerated FC…
