Drivers of Thermal Instability of Catalytic Pyrolysis Oils During Hydrotreating and Co-Processing to Sustainable Fuels
This presentation goes over polymerization observed in CFPs driven by thermally labile oxygenates. Lower oxygen oils have improved stability and a few percent decrease in oxygen greatly improves stability. Further improvements could be realized via targeted catalytic development and further reduction in reactive species. High stability CFP will help enable refinery integration of biogenic carbon.
