Flash Pyrolysis Coal Liquefaction Process Development, FE-2244-4, Quarterly Report for July-Sept. 1976, Occidental Research Corp., Irvine, CA, 1976, pp. 35-41. 

Efficient technology could also be developed based on catalytic biomass pyrolysis for the conversion of biomass into clean and renewable liquid bio-oil. This would facilitate its introduction into the energy market as a renewable fuel or as source of high value chemicals. It is possible to produce stable liquid biofuels from biomass flash pyrolysis, in a single stage catalytic process, although further developments are necessary. 

More recently, the CSIRO work has included studies of chars produced from the flash pyrolysis of subbituminous coals. This work has formed part of a major project to develop the flash pyrolysis process of converting coal into oil ( ) in which pulverized coal... 

Industry Interest. One of Canada s leading solar and biomass conversion equipment companies, Petro-Sun International Inc. became interested in scaling up the Universite Laval/universite de Sherbrooke vacuum pyrolysis process on a cost-shared basis. Special Note. As of January 1988, Petro-Sun International Inc. was forced into receivership for reasons unrelated to their activities in biomass pyrolysis. The Universite Laval is seeking alternative industrial partners. Another company, Ensyn Engineering Ltd., was established, and proposed a cost-shared, scaled-up development of the University of Western Ontario ultrapyrolysis. Similarly, there has been a number of industrial expressions of interest in the University of Waterloo flash pyrolysis. 

D.S. Scott, J. Piskorz, D. Radlein and co-workers at the University of Waterloo are well known for their fluidized bed flash pyrolysis development, also known as the WPPP (Waterloo Past Pyrolysis Process). The WPPP actually includes four process options as follows ... 

Alternatively, flash pyrolysis processes were developed for biomass liquefaction as well [5]. On a water- and ash-free basis, from wood typically 75% liquids (including 25% of water), 10% of solid char, and 15% of gases, mainly CO2 and CO, are formed at 5 00 ° C with gas retention times of only a few seconds. Several reactor concepts such as stationary and fluidized fluidized beds, the mechanically agitated rotating cone and Auger reactors, a well as ablative and vacuum pyrolysis have been carried out and operated on a semi-technical and pilot scale. For fast pyrolytic treatment of...
