Several approaches have been used to tackle the problem of the wastewater byproduct. For example in the case of microalgae HTL, PNNL applied catalytic hydrothermal gasification (CHG) effectively for HTL process water clean-up and fuel gas production... 

A system analysis was carried out by Ro et al. using swine manure as a feedstock for subcritical gasification. The study suggests that catalytic hydrothermal gasification...
