Vapor Phase Upgrading With NREL's Davison Circulating Riser (DCR)

The document summarizes NREL's Davison Circulating Riser (DCR) system for upgrading biomass pyrolysis vapors. The DCR continuously pyrolyzes biomass for 8-10 hour runs, upgrading the resulting vapors to hydrocarbon fuel intermediates using an ex-situ upgrading catalyst. It produces 3-6 liters of upgraded oil and 1-2 gallons of raw pyrolysis oil per run. The system allows for online vapor analysis and comprehensive characterization of raw and upgraded oils and the upgrading catalyst before and after use.
