Esterification, Acetalization and/or Ketalization to Upgrade Bio-oils to Boiler or Space Heating Fuels
Overview of Technology The technology is a development of a bio-oil sonification and esterification process that reduces bio-oil water content and acidity while significantly increasing higher heating value (HHV). The increase in HHV moves bio-oil to an energy level of 80% of No. 2 fuel oil, making the upgraded bio-oil much more competitive as a liquid...
